FS-100 Functions

TIME CODE EXT, REC RUN, FREE RUN, REGEN

The following are timecode (TC) functions.

•TC EXT Group Default

Records the incoming source timecode. If the timecode is not running, the FS-100 records the same timecode number in each recorded frame. Choose TC EXT mode to clear any stored number.

•TC REC RUN

In this mode, after a power cycle, the FS-100 starts its TC record count using the TC SET value. Later recordings add to the last value recorded. A power cycle resets the TC record value to the TC SET value.

•TC FREE RUN

This function causes the FS-100 to begin counting from the value stored by TC SET.

A number entered through TC SET is not stored and available to the FS-100 until exiting TC SET. Only then does the FS-100 begin counting using that number.

•TC REGEN

When the FS-100 powers up in TC REGEN mode, it: Reads the timecode of the last track recorded. Adds 1 to the number.

Stores the new timecode as the number that will be assigned to the first frame of the next recording session.

If the drive is empty, i.e. no existing recordings with, the FS-100 uses the TC SET value.

TC SET and UB SET Can Be Set at the Same Time

Both parameters, TC SET and UB SET, may be set and are not mutually exclusive as in some groups, i.e. LCDLIGHT.

TC EXT Recommended for Pull-down Applications

If the recording signal contains pull-down information in 720/60p format, the frame flag information contained is preserved in TC EXT mode and is required for the editing process.
