TIME CODE EXT, REC RUN, FREE RUN, REGEN
The FS-4Pro HD provides additional TC REC RUN, TC FREE RUN,
and TC REGEN functionality in HD RECORDER mode. This
functionality is only active when HD FORMAT is set to
QUICKTIME. In M2T mode, all TC modes act as TC EXT.
The following are timecode (TC) functions.
TC EXT Group Default
Records the incoming source timecode. If the timecode
is not running, and the FS-4 HD records the same
timecode number in each recorded frame. Choose TC
EXT mode to clear any stored number.
TC REC RUN DV mode or FS-4Pro HD only
This function creates a time code number for the first
frame of the next recording. To do this it can either:
FS-4 HD
Take the last timecode recorded and add 1,
FS-4Pro HD
Use the value stored in TC SET.
The FS-4 HD stores the last recorded timecode in its non-
volatile memory, so it can persist across recording sessions.
TC FREE RUN FS-4Pro HD only
This function causes the FS-4Pro HD to begin counting
from the value stored by TC SET.
A number entered through TC SET is not stored and
available to the FS-4Pro HD until exiting TC SET. Only
then does the FS-4Pro HD begin counting using that
number.
