Operating Systems

The FS-5's default file system is UDF, Universal Disk Format.
However, the FS-5 provides the ability to format the drive in either
the or

FAT32

UDF

MAC OS and Windows

The operating system that the FS-5 mounts to, determines the type
of formatting.

FAT32

The FAT32 file system limits file size to a maximum of 2GB or
approximately, 9 minutes of recording time.
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 (M2T) - 9 minutes,
• 1080i (MOV) - 8 minutes (1080/60i) or 7.5 minutes (1080/50i),
When clips exceed 9 minutes in length, the FS-5 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 NLE systems it is possible to use clips within the
timeline. Select the clips on the source volume, i.e. the connected
FS-5, and import them directly into the NLE bin.
This makes clips immediately available in the NLE timeline.
