FS-2/2E Functions

Index at Scene - In this mode, recordings are continuous until a scene break is detected in the incoming video stream, or the nine minute file size limit is reached. 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..

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.

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.

The FS-2/2E has a menu item that allows the FS-2/2E to appear to external controllers as a Sony BVW-75 BetaSP VTR when in Remote RS422 mode. It also has a generic RS422 mode.

In remote, you can also slave an FS-2/2E to another device (such as a Betacam or other non-DV deck) using the RS422 port.

FS-2/2E Does Not Support All BVW-75 Control Functions

This mode is only for greater compatibility with existing control systems.

Refer to Supported RS-422 Commands on page 116 for a listing of

RS422 supported commands.
