Using the FS-2/2E

3.1How to Make a Recording

1.Use the following procedure to make a recording using the FS-2/2E.

2.Make sure the FS-2/2E is connected to power and has been turned on using the power switch on the rear of the chassis.

3.Connect the required devices as explained in Chapter 1. For this example, that would include a video source (audio and video), speakers or headset if desired, and a monitor if desired.

4.Make sure the drive in the FS-2/2E has been formatted. If it is not, the LCD screen indicates that it has not been. Refer to the Utilities Menu on page 77.

5.Manually select the input source using the front panel buttons (that is, CMPST, Y/C, CMPNT, SDI, or DV).

Select the record format as follows:

•Press the Menu soft key.

•Select RECORD FORMAT.

• Select the desired format using the soft key to highlight your selection.

•Press EXIT twice.

6.Press the red record button twice. (Pressing this button once places the FS-2/ 2E in record-pause. Pressing it again starts the recording.) Timecode on the front panel LCD advances when recording begins.

7.Press STOP when you have finished the recording

3.2How to Playback

Use the following procedure to playback a recording using the FS-2/2E.

In all cases, if a monitor is connected to the video output, it displays the signal going through the FS-2/2E.

This procedure assumes that you have already recorded material on the hard drive as explained in the previous section.

1.Select the desired clip by using the Forward Index and Back Index buttons. These buttons step you through the clips on the selected disk drive.

2.If more than one disk drive is connected, press the SHIFT and the Forward Index or Back Index key as required until the desired drive appears on the LCD.

3.Press the PLAY button once to begin playback.

4.Press the STOP button once to pause or twice to stop the playback.
