Using the FS-100 with a Computer
FS-100 and FAT 32
The FAT32 file system limits file size to a maximum of 2GB which,
depending on record mode and resolution, approximately equals
the following minutes of video:
DVCPRO/DV
DVCPRO50
DVCPROHD
DVCPROHD PN
When clips exceed 2GB in size, the FS-100 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 P2 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-100, and import them directly into the NLE bin.
This makes clips immediately available in the NLE timeline.
The high transfer speed of the FS-100 drive permits direct
streaming of the clips to the NLE, thus eliminating the need to
copy or transfer the clips before their use.
