FS-100 Functions

Undercranking and Overcranking

Undercranking, also called fast motion, is setting the Incoming Frame Rate lower than the Base Frame Rate (24, 30, or 25 fps) which results in video playback that appears faster than the Base Frame Rate.

For example, if the Base Frame Rate is set to 24 fps (720/24P input stream), set the Incoming Frame Rate to 12. When the file is played back at the base rate (24 fps) the result is video playback at twice normal speed.

Overcranking, also called slow motion, is setting the frame rate higher than the Base Frame Rate which results in video playback that appears slower than the Base Frame Rate.

For example, if the Base Frame Rate is set to 24 fps (720/24P input stream), set the Incoming Frame Rate to 48. When the file is played back at the base rate (24 fps) the result is a video playback at half normal speed.

During playback on the FS-100 the video will display at full frame rate. Video on overcranked recordings will playback slower than normal video speed and undercranked video will playback faster.

VFR Mode Setting Not Saved

The VFR MODE setting is automatically set to OFF upon power-down. This setting must be changed for VFR recordings for every power-cycle.
