FS-2/2E Functions
This submenu contains the following selections:
•
EXT TC - Whatever the incoming timecode, the FS-2/2E
records it. You can select between
SELECTED INPUT and LTC.
Select the desired TC source:
• Choosing EXT TC mode will clear any stored timecode
value.
•
REC RUN - In this mode, the FS-2/2E does the following:
•1 Uses the last timecode number recorded + 1 as the
timecode number for the first frame of the next record-
ing.
•2 Uses the number entered by a setting in the TC PRE-
SET menu for the first frame of the next recording.
• The last number used is stored in the memory, so this
mode persists across recording sessions.
•
REGEN - After a disk is mounted (at startup, upon manual
connect) and after the track list has been constructed, the FS-
2/2E looks at the last track and looks at the timecode number
of the last frame in that track. The FS-2/2E stores that
number for use as the TC value (+ 1) for the first frame of the
next recording. If the drive is empty, the FS-2/2E uses the TC
PRESET(+ 1).
•
FREE RUN - When you enable FREE RUN mode, the FS-2/2E
begins counting from the value stored. If you use the TC
PRESET function, when the number is entered and the TC
PRESET menu is exited, the FS-2/2E begins counting from
that value.
Once a timecode value is set and the FS-2/2E is set to REC RUN or
FREE RUN timecode settings, the TC preset value becomes the
starting point for timecode.

If the FS-2/2E is set to EXT TC when in SYNCRO SLAVE mode,
EXT TC stops once the tape in the camcorder ends. Focus
Enhancements suggests that you use a different TC mode when
using SYNCRO SLAVE. NOTE: TC Preset cannot be changed
while in the EXT TC mode.
