FS-4 HD and FAT 32
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-4 HD
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-4 HD, and import them directly into the NLE bin.
This makes clips immediately available in the NLE timeline.
The high transfer speed of the FS-4 HD drive permits direct
streaming of the clips to the NLE, thus eliminating the need to
copy or transfer the clips before their use.
