FS-2/2E Functions Due to larger files sizes, the maximum amount of drive space available is decreased to accommodate the last recording in a session. For instance, if you have 90 minutes of disk space remaining, after you set RETRO record to less than 60 minutes, the available space changes to 88 minutes of available disk space. If you set RETRO time to 88 minutes, the recording will be made up of about nine and a half 9 minute, 13 second clips.
FS-2/2E Functions 2.5.4.3 Retro Cache RETRO CACHE CACHE: 10 sec EXIT RETRO CACHE Record constantly caches your video in a loop up to a 10 second data buffer.

Pressing the REC key when in RETRO CACHE mode puts the FS2/2E into a RETRO CACHE state (the tally light on the FS-2/2E flashes as if in PAUSE state).
FS-2/2E Functions When the disk capacity’s record time is reached, an additional one-minute (or 2GB) segment is created. After this clip is complete, the oldest one-minute clip (or 2GB segment) is recorded over, followed by each sequential oldest clip. When you press STOP during a record session, recording stops and clips in the current LOOP RECORD session are saved to disk. They are also saved in a single folder.

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.
FS-2/2E Functions 2.5.5.3 AV/C NORMAL INDEX AT TC INDEX AT SCENE EXIT Use these settings in PLAYBACK and other situations where the FS-2/2E is controlled by an external FireWire device (such as a DV NLE system).

Chapter 3 Using the FS-2/2E This chapter contains the following procedures: How to Make a Recording page 86 How to Playback page 86 How to Put Recorded Clips on a Computer System page 87 How to Create a Playlist page 94 How to Mark Scenes page 95 Connecting the FS-2/2E to a Network page 98 To perform these procedures use input and output targets as illustrated in the following diagram.
Using the FS-2/2E 3.1 How to Make a Recording 1. Use the following procedure to make a recording using the FS-2/2E. 2. Make sure the FS-2/2E is connected to power and has been turned on using 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. the power switch on the rear of the chassis. Connect the required devices as explained in Chapter 1. For this example, that would include a video source (audio and video), speakers or headset if desired, and a monitor if desired. Make sure the drive in the FS-2/2E has been formatted.
Using the FS-2/2E 3.3 How to Put Recorded Clips on a Computer System Once you have recorded clips to a FireWire disk drive using FS-2/2E, you can use those clips in most computer based DV NLE systems. Traditionally, in order to get footage into an NLE system, it was necessary to capture or digitize that footage utilizing a video capture card.
Using the FS-2/2E 3.3.1 Mounting FireWire Disk Drives (Windows XP, 2000, 98SE and ME) 1. On a Windows-based computer system, double click the My Computer icon on the top left hand corner of the desktop. You will see a window similar to the following: 2. Locate your FireWire disk drive. This will probably be labeled E:, F:, G:, and so on. (drive C: is usually your computer's main disk drive). 3. Once you have identified it, double click on the FireWire disk drive.
Using the FS-2/2E The FireWire disk drive can contain several different files. Clips can appear as • • • • • • • • RawDV (.dv) AVI Type 1 (YYYYMMDDHHMMSSa01) AVI Type 2 or 24p AVI Type 2 (YYYYMMDDHHMMSSb01) Canopus AVI (YYYYMMDD-HHMMSSb01) Matrox AVI (YYYYMMDD-HHMMSSm01 with a separate .wav audio file per track) Pinnacle AVI (YYYYMMDD-HHMMSSp01 with two separate .wav audio files per track) QuickTime or 24p Quicktime (.mov) Avid OMF (.omf with two separate .aif audio files per track).
Using the FS-2/2E 3.3.2 Using FS-2/2E Recorded Avid OMF Clips on Avid Editing Systems The Avid DV OMF file format was developed for use with Avid editing systems on Windows 2000, Windows XP or Mac 0S10. These include Avid Xpress Pro, NewsCutter, Media Composer Adrenaline, and Symphony (with the DV option). The Avid DV OMF file format creates three files simultaneously; an OMF video file and two separate AIF audio files. On the computer's desktop, the files appear as shown in the next illustration.
Using the FS-2/2E 3. Drag all the OMF and AIF files into the new folder (do not drag in the files titled Desktop DB or Desktop DF). If you are using the ORGANIZE OMF function on the FS-2/2E prior to using the disk on a computer, steps 2 and 3 are not necessary. 4. Launch Avid. 5. Once you have opened the desired project or created a new project, select Tools > MediaTool. The following window appears: 6. Locate and select the external FireWire drive under Media Drive(s).
Using the FS-2/2E 3.3.3 Dismounting FireWire Disk Drives (Windows XP, 2000, 98SE and ME) Once you have completed working with your disk drive on a Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows 98SE or Windows ME computer system, you must dismount the drive before unplugging it. To do this, use the following procedure: 1. Click the Safely Remove Hardware icon at the bottom right side of the Windows task bar as shown below. 2. The computer system prompts you to “remove” the connected FireWire disk drive.
Using the FS-2/2E When mounted, your FireWire disk drive should appear on the computer's desktop as shown below: The FS-2/2E formatted disk drive appears as a FAT32 volume with a PC label. This is not always the case on Version 10 of the Macintosh operating system however. 3. Once you have located your FireWire disk drive on the desktop, double click the disk icon to open it up. Once opened, you will see the following: 3.3.
Using the FS-2/2E 3.4 How to Create a Playlist Use the following procedure to create a simple playlist on the FS-2/2E. 1. Ensure no playlist is open. 2. TO ADD A CLIP - Play a clip you wish to add to the playlist. Using the front panel buttons, press MARK IN and MARK OUT for the particular portion of the 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. clip to add to the playlist. Both buttons will light. Once marked, press the front panel PLAYLIST button. The MARK IN and MARK OUT key lights will go out.
Using the FS-2/2E 3.5 How to Mark Scenes The FS-2/2E Scene Marking feature allows you to mark clips for placement in particular folders during recording, playback or stop mode. When a drive is formatted using FS-2/2E, ten folders are created numbered 0 through 9.
Using the FS-2/2E 3.5.1 Marking Scenes Use the following procedure: 1. Play your pre-recorded clip from the FS-2/2E. 2. When you encounter the start of your scene, pause the FS-2/2E and then press the MARK IN button. The MARK IN button should light up. 3. Play your clip again to the end point and pause. 4. Press MARK OUT. The MARK OUT button lights. 5. Press the PLAYLIST button to save the marked scene. 6. Mark the rest of your scenes using the same procedure. 7.
Using the FS-2/2E If the FS-2/2E PLAY FROM is set to TRACKLIST the name of the SCENE MARK, or assigned, folder appears without brackets on the LCD display (for example, 2 SCENE 2). COUNTER 00:00:00:00 DISK 1 <2SCENE 2> EXIT 184 Min DISP SHFT If the PLAY FROM menu is set to FOLDERS, the name of the assigned folder appears in brackets on the LCD display (for example, 2 . Using the SCENE MARK menu, you can assign clips to folders using the numeric keypad on the optional remote control unit.
Using the FS-2/2E 3.6 Connecting the FS-2/2E to a Network You can connect the FS-2/2E to a network using the Ethernet 10/100 Base T port on the rear panel. Do the following: 1. Use a standard RJ85 cable to connect between the Ethernet port on the rear panel to a network. FS-2E Rear Panel Ethernet 10/100 Base T Connector 2. Power up the FS-2/2E and make sure your network is functioning properly. 3. 4. 5. 6. Contact your system administrator for additional help. Navigate to the FS-2/2E NETWORK menu.
