•Syncro Slave

Use this mode when the camcorder does not have FS-100 compatible external control or the tapeless trigger functionality. In Syncro Slave control mode, the

FS-100 mimics the camcorder’s operations by monitoring the camcorder’s tape record state.

•AV/C

Do Not Use AV/C control in Record Mode

Use AV/C in playback mode and other situations where the FS- 100 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-100 can be used in a manner similar to a camcorder to capture footage to the NLE.

•Tapeless Control

The Tapeless Control mode allows the FS-100 to be controlled from a camcorder, if it features a FS-100 compatible Tapeless control setting separate from the tape transport. It is recommended to use this control mode with the companion camcorder, the Panasonic AG-HVX200.

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 refer to Configuring AG-HVX200 and Recording on page 37.
