OS Upgrade

To upgrade operating system (OS) software, you must download a new .bin file to a FireWire drive on your computer. The latest version of FS-2/2E software can be downloaded from http:// www.focusinfo.com/support.

To install new OS software to the FS-2/2E, do the following:

Move from field to field using the

FORWARD	and BACK INDEX
Buttons.
Press and	to scroll through digits
in the value.

Press EXIT to return to the menu screen. Regardless of the display, the file name always remains as follows:

YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.xxx (Year-Month-Date-Hour-Minute- Second).

The date and time form the basis of the FS-2/2E file naming structure for use of clips on a computer.

On the FS-2/2E, files are identified by TRACK and VOLUME (disk drive) number on the LCD. For instance, a file on the FS-2/2E LCD identified as 1- 043 is clip number 43 on Volume (disk) 1.

On a computer, files are identified by their base file name made up of DATE and TIME. For instance, a clip named 20050615-210943-01.mov is a clip that began recording at 9:09:43PM on June 15th. 2005.

NOTE: DATE/TIME is used when creating file names only. The FS-2/2E does not record this information into the stream. The FS-2/2E records the date and time which is in the DV stream sent from the input source.
