5. Track or Clip Number
The track number is displayed in the top right corner of the LCD Display. This
is the current clip or track number being recorded or played back. For
example, a display value of
2-014 identifies a track as being clip 14 on volume
2.
6. Timecode/User Bit Display Mode
This identifies the display mode for timecode or user bit values. Selections are:
COUNTER - Counts frames during record or playback of the current clip
only.
REMAINING - Counts down the number of frames available (time) on a
particular disk during a record session. In a playback session, this dis-
play shows the remaining time on the current clip.
DV NTSC or PAL - Displays the external timecode value being generated
by a camcorder or other device during a record session. Timecode mode
has to be set to EXT TC for this function to operate (refer to
TC Mode on
page 60 of this user guide). In playback mode, this displays the embed-
ded DV timecode value in a particular track.
USER BIT - Displays the set user bit value in a particular clip. A user bit
value must be added for this to display (refer to
TC Set on page 62 of this
user guide).
ABSOLUTE - Displays an absolute timecode value for the particular ses-
sion (sum of all COUNTER timecodes on connected volumes). This is
primarily used when you set the FS-2/2E to AV/C mode and are con-
trolling it with an external FireWire device, such as a computer.
AUDIOMETER - Displays left and right levels in db. The scale indicates -
10db, -4db, and 0db. This display mode is only available for the FS-2E, or
the FS-2 (with the 2.0 upgrade). The 2 lines on the menu appear similar to
the following:
7. Timecode or User Bit Value

00:00:00:00 - Drop Frame
00:00:00:00 - Non Drop Frame
The FS-2/2E Does Not Accept NDF TC Values in DF TC Mode.
