RETRO DISK

The Retro Disk mode records video in a continuous loop to a
user-defined portion of disk space. Pressing record
begins active recording. The Retro Disk session is appended to
the beginning of the new clip. The result is a set of clips
beginning with the cached video and continuing with the newly
recorded video.
• When calculating the amount of hard disk space needed for
a Retro Disk record session, always include additional
space beyond the recording requirements. The added space
depends on the length of the loop.
• Loops less than 60 minutes, need an additional 1 minute
of unused disk space.
• Loops 60 minutes and greater, require an additional 2GB
of unused disk space.
• When looping less than one hour, Retro Disk records the
loop in a series of 1 minute clips.
• Retro Disk is available in Normal, Syncro and External
control modes.
• When Retro Disk is set, the symbols
appear in the FS-5 display.
