FS-C Using with a Computer
40 FS-C Portable DTE Recorder
FS-C and FAT 32
The FAT32 file system limits file size to a maximum of 2GB or
approximately, 9 minutes of recording time.
When clips exceed 2GB in size, the FS-C automatically creates a
new, file without dropping any frames. The two files have the
same root filename but have different two digit suffixes that
indicate the order of their creation, -01, -02, and so on. This
process can produce as many sequential 2GB files as the drive
can hold.
With most DV and many HDV compatible NLE systems on
Windows or Macintosh computers, it is possible to use clips
within the timeline. Select the clips on the source volume, i.e.
the connected FS-C, and import them directly into the NLE bin.
This makes clips immediately available in the NLE timeline.
The high transfer speed of the FS-C drive permits direct
streaming of the clips to the NLE, thus eliminating the need to
copy or transfer the clips before their use.
Recording Time Depends on Recorder Mode and Resolution
The number of minutes per 2G file depends upon the recorder mode and
resolution:
• DV - 9 minutes,
• 720p (MOV) - 10 minutes,
• 720p (M2T) - 13 minutes,
• 1080i (MOV) - 8 minutes,
• 1080i (M2T) - 9 minutes,
