FS-100 Functions

Loop Record

Loop Record is similar to PRE-REC Disk.

Loop Record continuously records a series of video clips to available disk space. When all available disk space is used, Loop Record begins sequentially replacing the earliest clip with the most recent.

•The size of the video clip depends on the length of the loop or record mode.

Loops of 60 minutes or less are recorded in one-minute clips.

Otherwise, loops are recorded in 2GB clips.

When the capacity of the disk is reached, one additional clip is created. The size of the last clip depends on the length of the loop i.e., one-minute or 2GB. The disk must have at least 30 minutes of disk space available for this functionality.

Saving Loop Record Clips

Press STOP during a record session.

The FS-100 stops recording and saves the current LOOP RECORD session clips to a folder on the disk.

Snap Record

Use Snap to record individual frames. In Snap mode, pressing Record captures individual frames. All the frames recorded in the same session are stored in a single file.

•To start a new SNAP record session, place the unit in STOP between SNAP records.

•Use Snap in Local, Syncro Slave, and Tapeless control modes.

•Removing power from the FS-100 in the midst of a Snap recording session causes the unit to return to Normal recording mode when it powers back up.

Another Method to Capture Single Frames

An alternative to Snap is EXT CTL FRAME. For more information see EXT CTL OFF, Pause, Frame, File on page 61.
