98 FS-C Portable DTE Recorder
•Use the Keeper key to cycle through the available
Reels. For example, if the current Reel selection is 3.
pressing Keeper changes the selection to Reel 4.
To purchase the wired remote control, p/n ACSS-0019-

www.focusinfo.com/sales/store/.
• Syncro Slave
Use this mode when the camcorder does not have FS-C
compatible external control or the tapeless trigger
functionality. In Syncro Slave control mode, the
FS-C mimics the camcorder’s operations by monitoring
the camcorder’s tape record state.
•AV/C
Use AV/C in playback mode and other situations
where the FS-C is controlled by an external FireWire
device such as a NLE system that is not supported by
Direct To Edit Technology. In these cases, the FS-C can
be used in a manner similar to a camcorder to capture
footage to the NLE. When in HD RECORDER mode, and
the QUICKTIME HD FORMAT is selected, the type of
timecode reported is defined by the HDV TC TYPE setting,
refer to HDV TC TYPE on page74.
• Tapeless
The Tapeless Control mode allows the FS-C to be
controlled from a camcorder, if it features a FS-C
compatible external control setting separate from the
tape transport. Use Tapeless Control mode with the
companion Canon HDV camcorder.
Do Not Use AV/C control in Record Mode
Camcorder Requirements for Tapeless Control Mode
Tapeless Control mode will not work unless it is supported by the
camcorder and the camcorder is placed in this external control mode.
Please check your camcorder manual for more details.
