Record with the FS-5

Do Not Disconnect Power or FireWire Cable

Never disconnect the power or the FireWire cable during a

recording. This will cause file corruption.

Loss of Power During Recording

If power is lost during recording it is possible to repair the

damaged file or files, refer to REPAIR DISK and REPAIR CLIP

in the user guide.

There are two modes of recording with the FS-5.

• NORMAL Recording

Control with the FS-5 transport keys.

• EXTERNAL Recording

Control FS-5 recording with the video camera record trigger,

whether using tape or tapeless.

With most modern HDV and DV cameras, EXTERNAL mode is

the preferred control method. Check the latest camera

compatibility matrix on the Focus website:

www.focusinfo.com.

• SYNCRO Recording

SYNCRO is used most often with older camcorders that

require the presence of a tape in the camcorder’s tape deck.

Before beginning recording, verify that:

1. Time and date are set.

2. Recording format is set.

3. DTE Format is set.

4. The FS-5 is connected to the video camera according to the

explanation in Connecting FS-5 to DV/HDV Camcorder on

page 22.

5. Camera and FS-5 are powered on.

6. Tape is loaded in the camera, if:

• Camera requires a tape in its transport before it triggers

FS-5 record.

• User wants to record to both tape and disk, see the

following note.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

EXTERNAL Operation

Tape does not need to be loaded if the camera supports external

operation, refer to, CONTROL on page 95.

Troubleshooting: Counter Not Incrementing

If the Counter does not increment while recording the camera, it is

an indication that there is no active connection between the FS-5

and the camera.

• Verify that the FS-5 1394 DV I/O and the camera connections

are secure. It may be necessary to unplug and then reconnect

them.

When a good connection is made, the Counter will increment

and recording will start.

• Verify that FS-5 and camera settings are correct.

Verify Record Mode Matches Source Video Content and Format

If in DV Recorder mode, HD content will not record properly. A

NTSC or PAL DV source records only on a matching NTSC or PAL

unit.

Overview

Default Template

The default AVID MXF template is functionally similar to the other

FS-5 metadata templates. The User can select which metadata tags

to use, determine the type of input they receive, or assign

predefined values. In addition, the User can create Custom

templates that are compatible with AVID MXF.

When the FS-5 prepares video clips using templates based on the

APPLE XML Interchange Format, for importing into a nle like FCP,

the FS-5 records the metadata in xml documents that accompany

the video files. There are two files to export: a video clip and its

companion xml document.

When the FS-5 prepares Avid MXF files for importing into the

Avid Media Composer, it embeds the metadata in the MXF

wrapper. There is only one file to import into the nle.

Custom Templates

The FS-5 provides the capability for the User to create custom

templates by modifying Avid and FCP templates or entering

unique fields into an empty template.

Video Production

Post-production

FS-5 2.0 metadata is viewable and searchable and includes links

to the video content in the NLE or ProxSys media management

system.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Logging Onto the FS-5 Web Server

Logging onto the FS-5 web server provides access to the metadata

settings and logging functions. The pages and functions available

depend on the type of device accessing the FS-5. Refer to user guide

for more information.

When the FS-5 web server opens, the ENTRY page appears. The first

time the web server opens the ENTRY page is empty until a metadata

template is selected.

This is the first page that a PDA displays. The appearance of this

page varies depending on the device used to view it.

The first time that the Entry page appears it displays the default

template.

Metadata Pages and Functions

FS-5 Metadata has five pages representing specific functions that are

divided into two groups: User and Admin. The User/Admin tab acts

as a toggle to switch between the two groups. To display the other

group, click on the User or Admin tab.

• Admin group includes the pages:

Template - for creating and managing templates,

Settings - template export/import and reel matching

parameters, for more information, refer to the user guide.

• User group includes the pages:

Entry - for entering and setting metadata values in a template,

Review - for reviewing the thumbnails and logged metadata of

recorded video clips.

Export - for specifying the export of metadata based on

template type,

Troubleshooting Tip - Missing Templates Thumbnails

If while working on the Entry, Review, or Template pages,

thumbnails or metadata templates are missing it is necessary to

run the Format utility, see FORMAT on page 63.

Be certain that the Templates option is set to Clear.

Save all video clips before formatting.

Export

Use Export to manually export video clip metadata files from the

FS-5 database to User accessible xml files. The file name of the xml

file identifies it as belonging to a specific video clip.

Specific NLE Editors

Export provides Final Cut Pro and Avid Media Composer

workspaces for creating xml metadata files specific to those

NLEs.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Avid Media Composer

Before importing MXF files into Avid Media Composer from

the FS-5, it is first necessary to run the FS-5 Utility, Organize

MXF. This utility creates the Avid MXF directory structure and

embeds the metadata in the MXF files.

The video files are then ready to import into Avid Media

Composer.

In Avid Media Composer, use the Media Tool to import the

MXF files into a specified bin. Because Avid incorporates

metadata into the MXF wrapper, both the video content and

metadata are imported together.

A video clip’s metadata appears in the bin column selection

window.

For more information see Importing Video and Metadata Into

Avid on page 74.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Entering Metadata

Metadata may be entered into a single FS-5 or simultaneously into

multiple FS-5s.

These procedures assume that there is a ready to use template, such

as the FCP Example or AVID MXF that are supplied with the FS-5. And

that it is not necessary to modify or create a new template.

Logging Metadata to Multiple 2.0 FS-5s

The FS-5 provides the ability to simultaneously log the same

metadata to multiple FS-5s located on the same network.

To log metadata onto multiple FS-5s:

1. Begin by mounting at least two FS-5 2.0 units on a network.

2. Select one of the FS-5s to be the host.

3. Log on to the host and go to its Entry page.

4. Select the metadata template to use from the Default

Template dropdown list.

5. Click the ADD button.

The Link Units workspace expands to show link parameters

for the first client FS-5.

Notice that the Template option is permanently check-

marked. Any time the host FS-5 links to another unit, it

transfers the currently selected template to the client,

regardless if the other link options are selected or not.

6. Enter the IP address for the client FS-5.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

7. Check-mark Log if the host unit is to log metadata on the

client unit. Then any metadata entered on the host appears

on the client too.

8. Check-mark Control if the host unit is to control the Record,

Playback, and Pause operations on the client unit.

9. Click Link to connect to the client unit.

The Status and Mode messages will change indicating that

the connection is made.

Repeat steps 5 through 9 for each client unit.

The linked FS-5s are now ready. Enter metadata as

described in the FS-5 User Guide.

10. To start recording on multiple units, press the Record button

on the Entry page.

Saving Metadata

There is no distinct Save step.

Clicking on the Update or Mark buttons writes the metadata to the

FS-5 database and into a specific record assigned to the video clip.

Changing the metadata in the template changes the video clip’s

record in the database in real time.

Creating A Template

TC Depend and Input Style In AXIF and Final Cut Pro

In Apple XML Interchange Format (AXIF) templates the settings

for the TC Depend and Input Style fields are grayed out because

their settings are fixed and can not be changed.

• By default, most but not all of the metadata fields are set as

not timecode dependent.

• All the metadata fields have their Input Style set as Mixed

Input which permits the use of both predefined and

variable, user entered, values.

Avid Media Composer and Final Cut Pro support these settings

because they are template defaults.

Creating a Custom Template allows the user to set TC Depend

and Input Style defaults to other values which Avid and Final

Cut Pro will then support.

Export

Export to NLE XML Document

There are three NLE export options:

• Final Cut Pro Export

Use this function to create metadata xml documents for Final

Cut Pro, using the Final Cut Pro XML Interchange Format.

• AVID Media Composer

Use this function to create metadata xml documents for Avid

Media Composer.

• Generic Export

This option creates a metadata xml document based on the

Custom template created.

Controlling Multiple FS-5s At Once

The FS-5 provides the ability to simultaneously control the Record

and Stop functions of multiple FS-5s located on the same network.

Begin by linking the host FS-5 to the client units:

1. Begin by mounting at least two FS-5 2.0 units on a network.

2. Select one of the FS-5s to be the host.

3. Log on to the host and go to its Entry page.

4. Select the metadata template to use from the Default Template

dropdown list.

5. Click the ADD button.

The Link Units workspace expands to show the link parameters

for the first client FS-5.

Notice that the Template option is permanently check-marked.

Any time the host FS-5 links to another unit, it transfers the

currently selected template to the client, regardless if the other

link options are selected or not.

For information about Template and Log functions, see Logging

6. Enter the IP address for the client FS-5.

7. Check-mark Log if the host unit is to log metadata on the client

unit. Then any metadata entered on the host appears on the cli-

ent too.

8. Check-mark Control.

The host unit can control the Record and Pause operations on

the client unit.

9. Click Link to connect to the client unit.

The Status and Mode messages change indicating that the

connection is made.

10. Repeat steps 5 through 9 for each client unit.

The linked FS-5s are now ready.

Enter metadata as described in the FS-5 User Guide.

11. Click on the Record button on the Entry page start recording on

multiple units.

Synchronizing Clocks on Multiple FS-5s

It is possible to synchronize multiple FS-5s’ system clocks by running

SET DATE AND TIME USING NTP on each unit within a few minutes of

each other. Then the all the FS-5s will have similar timecode stamps.

This feature is useful when using a host FS-5 to control client FS-5s

during a recording session, see Controlling Multiple FS-5s At Once on

page 68.

Before synchronizing, verify that all the FS-5 have the same setting

for:

TIME ZONE on page 50,

NPT SOURCE on page 51,

DST ADJUST on page 52,

DST MANUAL on page 53,

Once calibrated, the FS-5s stay calibrated through power cycling,

although, over a period of days their timecode stamps will slowly

drift apart.

To determine that the clocks are synchronized, observe the blinking

light on the FS-5’s Select button. All of the FS-5s’ Select buttons blink

in unison. In addition, go to the FS-5s’ SETUP menus and compare

the times in the TIME row. They will be the same.

Greater Accuracy

For greater accuracy and a longer synchronization period, multiple

run the Utility > CALIBRATE CLOCK simultaneously on all FS-5s in

the set.

This takes about 10 hours to complete and the FS-5s are not

available for use until calibration completes.

Calibration Schedule

New units should be calibrated as required to maintain

synchronization within a set of FS-5s. However, after about a year,

calibration should not be necessary more than once a year.
