Select these options to control the FS-2/2E from the front panel buttons only. You can also control the FS-2/2E with the optional wired remote control unit (ACSS-0019-01). This can be purchased at the Focus Enhancements online store: https:// www.focusinfo.com/sales/store/.

This sub-menu contains the following selections:

Normal Mode - This is the default setting. In this mode, recordings are captured to a single base file until STOP is triggered, or the nine minute file size limit is reached.

Index at TC - In this mode, recordings are continuous until a break in the incoming timecode stream is detected. At that time, a new file is automatically created. No frames are lost during the transition to a new clip.

Index at Scene - In this mode, recordings are continuous until a scene break is detected in the incoming video stream. At that time, a new file is automatically created within one second of the scene change. No frames are lost during the transition to a new clip.

NOTE: The Index at Scene option watches the DV stream for an index marker that is recorded to tape when a new scene, or record session starts. It depends upon the camcorder when this index is recorded to tape. Some camcorders record the index at every scene, or when the camera is placed in and out of record pause. Other cameras, only record the index marker at the beginning of every record session; in other words, the camera needs to be placed into STOP or powered-off between indices. Refer to your camcorder's manual for more information.

Remote

Select this function to control the FS-2/2E by an external device through the RS-422 port. The FS-2/2E takes on the characteristics of a VTR as setup in the RS422 MENU screen in the SETUP MENU. You cannot use the FS-2/2E front panel controls in this mode.
