Power-Cord Protection  
Routing Power-Cords  
Route power supply cords so that they are not likely to be  
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them.  
Avoid sharp angles in the cord, particularly at plugs,  
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit the  
product.  
Non-Use Period  
During extended periods when the device is not used, unplug  
it from the power source and retract the power-cord.  
Grounding or Polarization  
Polarized  
If this product is equipped with a polarized alternating current  
line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), it will  
fit into the outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you  
are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing  
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your  
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the  
safety purpose of the polarized plug.

Outdoor Antenna Grounding  
If an outside antenna  
or cable system is  
connected to the FS-  
100, verify that the  
antenna or cable  
system is grounded.  
This provides some  
protection against  
voltage surges and  
built-up static charges.  
Refer to Article 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,  
for information about the proper grounding of the mast and  
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna  
discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna  
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and  
requirements for the grounding electrode.  
Ground Loop WARNING:  
To avoid earth or ground loops, insure that all equipment  
connected to the FS-100 share a common ground. Use a single,  
grounded outlet strip as opposed to separate outlets with the  
possibility of different ground potentials.  
Lightning and Power Surges  
During electrical storms or when left unattended and unused for  
long periods of time, unplug the FS-100 from the power source  
and disconnect the antenna or cable system.  
Power Lines  
Do not locate an outside antenna system in the vicinity of  
overhead power lines, electric light or power circuits, or where it  
can fall onto such lines or circuits.  
When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should  
be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as  
contact with them might be fatal.  
Optical Precaution  
The use of optical instruments with this device will increase  
hazards to the eyes hazard.

Introduction  
Thank you for purchasing a Focus Enhancements’ FS-100 portable  
direct-to-edit (DTE) disk recorder. The FS-100 is the first portable  
DVCPROHD/DVCPRO50/DVCPRO/DV disk recorder with Focus  
Enhancement’s DTE technology designed for hand held camcorders  
in a small, rugged and shock proof chassis.  
If you edit with applications from Adobe, Apple, Avid, Canopus,  
Matrox, Pinnacle, Sony, Ulead, and many others, Focus  
Enhancement's DTE Technology is the only solution that can save  
hundreds of hours a year by recording clips to disk in your non-linear  
editor’s (NLE) native file format.  
DTE Eliminates Pre-edit Processing  
The FS-100 DTE disk recorder eliminates the need to capture, transfer  
or convert video clips before editing. The FS-100 is a stand-alone  
device that records DVCPROHD, DVCPRO50, and DVCPRO/DV  
video to its disk drive as a NLE native file. For most DV and many P2  
compatible NLE systems, when the disk drive is connected to a  
computer the clips are immediately available for editing.  
Shoot, connect, and edit: it is now that easy.  
In addition, the FS-100 can record digital video streams up to and  
including 100Mb/s.  
These capabilities make the FS-100 the perfect companion for the  
Panasonic HVX200 P2 DVCPROHD camcorder. In addition, the FS-  
100 is suitable for use with other Panasonic DVCPROHD,  
DVCPRO50, and DVCPRO camcorders with an IEEE-1394 interface.

• Fast and Efficient Editing  
When shooting is finished, mount the FS-100 to a Mac or PC  
editing system like a typical FireWire hard disk drive. Transfer  
clips to your NLE's media drive at up to 400 Mbps or edit  
instantly in real-time using the FS-100 as your media source.  
With some DV and P2 compatible NLE systems, it is necessary  
to capture the video footage using the NLE system’s capture  
capability.  
Confidence in Recording  
Now, simultaneously record to disk and tape while you shoot,  
providing an immediately available, drop out free, edit source  
with an archive and backup on tape.  
Compact, Lightweight, Rugged Design  
The FS-100 weighs approximately one pound including the  
battery and is only 1.5" thick. You can mount the FS-100 directly  
to your camcorder using the optional camera mount kit, or clip  
the FS-100 directly to your belt. The FS-100 is designed to  
withstand the rigors of field shooting. The programmable,  
seconds of electronic shock cache ensures that your video is  
always recorded even in the roughest of conditions.

• Easy to Use, Control and Update  
The FS-100 interfaces with your camcorder using a single  
FireWire cable that passes audio, video, timecode and control  
information. When a tape is present, each press of start and stop  
on your camcorder's record button creates an individual clip on  
disk. The FS-100 features a comprehensive backlit display, menu  
system and buttons allowing easy control and management. In  
addition, these units are upgradeable in the field.  
Never Miss A Shot  
FS-100's PRE-record mode means you are always recording.  
When action happens, you now can have up to six seconds prior  
to the event occurring saved in your clip.

The PRE-REC CACHe mode insures that important material at the  
very start of a recording session is captured. PRE-REC stores in the  
on board memory a continuous loop of video captured by video  
camera during pauses. Pressing Record begins active recording  
at the last frame stored in the cache. The resulting video clip has  
the cached video at the beginning.  
PRE-REC CACHe is available in Local, Syncro Slave, and Tapeless  
control modes.  
Set the length of video in 1-second increments from 0. The  
maximum time allowed depends on the model:  
• 6 seconds, DVCPROHD,  
• 12 seconds, DVCPRO50,  
• 24 seconds, DVCPRO/DV25,  
Tens and ones digits are set separately.

The PRE-REC Disk mode records video in a continuous loop to a  
user-defined portion of disk space. Pressing Record seamlessly  
begins active recording. The PRE-REC 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  
PRE-REC 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 in 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 PRE-REC Disk records the  
loop in a series of 1 minute clips.  
• Otherwise, the FS-100 creates:  
DVCPRO/DV: 9 minute, 13 second clips (2GB clips on disk),  
DVCPRO 50: 4 minute, 36 second clips (2GB clips on disk),  
DVCPRO HD: 2 minute, 18 second clips (2GB on disk),  
• PRE-REC Disk is available in Local, Syncro Slave, and  
Tapeless control modes.  
• When PRE-REC Disk is set, the symbols P (Record and P)  
appear in the FS-100 display.

Loop Record  
Loop Record is similar to PRE-REC Disk.  
Loop Record continuously records a series of video clips to  
available disk space. When all available disk space is used, Loop  
Record begins sequentially replacing the earliest clip with the  
most recent.  
• The size of the video clip depends on the length of the loop or  
record mode.  
Loops of 60 minutes or less are recorded in one-minute  
clips.  
Otherwise, loops are recorded in 2GB clips.  
When the capacity of the disk is reached, one additional  
clip is created. The size of the last clip depends on the  
length of the loop i.e., one-minute or 2GB. The disk must  
have at least 30 minutes of disk space available for this  
functionality.  
Saving Loop Record Clips  
Press STOP during a record session.  
The FS-100 stops recording and saves the current LOOP  
RECORD session clips to a folder on the disk.  
Snap Record  
Use Snap to record individual frames. In Snap mode, pressing  
Record captures individual frames. All the frames recorded in  
the same session are stored in a single file.  
• To start a new SNAP record session, place the unit in STOP  
between SNAP records.  
• Snap Record is available only in DV modes of operation.  
• Use Snap in Local, Syncro Slave, and Tapeless control modes.  
• Removing power from the FS-100 in the midst of a Snap  
recording session causes the unit to return to Normal  
recording mode when it powers back up.  
Another Method to Capture Single Frames  
An alternative to Snap is EXT CTL FRAME. For more information see

TIME CODE EXT, REC RUN, FREE RUN, REGEN  
The following are timecode (TC) functions.  
TC EXT Group Default  
Records the incoming source timecode. If the timecode is not  
running, the FS-100 records the same timecode number in  
each recorded frame. Choose TC EXT mode to clear any stored  
number.  
TC REC RUN  
In this mode, after a power cycle, the FS-100 starts its TC  
record count using the TC SET value. Later recordings add to  
the last value recorded. A power cycle resets the TC record  
value to the TC SET value.  
TC FREE RUN  
This function causes the FS-100 to begin counting from the  
value stored by TC SET.  
A number entered through TC SET is not stored and  
available to the FS-100 until exiting TC SET. Only then does  
the FS-100 begin counting using that number.  
TC REGEN  
When the FS-100 powers up in TC REGEN mode, it:  
Reads the timecode of the last track recorded.  
Adds 1 to the number.  
Stores the new timecode as the number that will be  
assigned to the first frame of the next recording session.  
If the drive is empty, i.e. no existing recordings with, the  
FS-100 uses the TC SET value.  
TC SET and UB SET Can Be Set at the Same Time  
Both parameters, TC SET and UB SET, may be set and are not mutually  
exclusive as in some groups, i.e. LCDLIGHT.  
TC EXT Recommended for Pull-down Applications  
If the recording signal contains pull-down information in 720/60p format,  
the frame flag information contained is preserved in TC EXT mode and  
is required for the editing process.

Professional applications employ user bits to add metadata to  
recordings to assist in post production. For example, multiple  
cameras are used during a shoot. Each FS-100 has a unique UB  
setting that identifies it and the camera it serves. Later, the user bits  
are used to determine from which camera station the footage was  
recorded.

Organize PINN DVCPRO/DV only  
This selection organizes clips for use with Pinnacle Liquid series  
NLE systems. Products such as the Pinnacle file format were  
created for use with products such as Pinnacle Liquid Edition. The  
Pinnacle file format creates three files simultaneously during a  
recording; an AVI video file and two separate WAV audio files  
labeled as left and right. An additional ALE file for each recording  
session is also created which contains timecode data. This file must  
be kept with the media.  
Once clips have been imported into Liquid Edition, an Index file is  
created on the disk drive for each clip. Do not delete this file since  
it is required to continue work in the particular project.

Do Not Use AV/C control in Record Mode  
Use AV/C in playback mode and other situations where the FS-  
100 is controlled by an external FireWire device such as a NLE  
system that is not supported by Direct To Edit Technology. In  
these cases, the FS-100 can be used in a manner similar to a  
camcorder to capture footage to the NLE.  
Tapeless Control  
The Tapeless Control mode allows the FS-100 to be controlled  
from a camcorder, if it features a FS-100 compatible Tapeless  
control setting separate from the tape transport. It is  
recommended to use this control mode with the companion  
camcorder, the Panasonic AG-HVX200.  
Camcorder Requirements for Tapeless Control Mode  
Tapeless Control mode will not work unless it is supported by the  
camcorder and the camcorder is placed in this external control mode.

Using the FS-100 with a Computer  
Once video clips are recorded to the FS-100 it is possible to use  
those clips in most computer based DV/HD NLE systems. This  
section contains the following:  
In the past, to get footage into an NLE system, it was necessary to  
capture / digitize the footage using a video capture card. For most  
DV and some P2 compatible NLE systems, FS-100 DTE functionality  
eliminates the capture stage. All that is necessary is the moving of the  
video files from the FS-100 to a computer.  
Recording for Unsupported NLE  
If a desired NLE is not supported by Focus Enhancements DTE, it is  
necessary to use the AV/C control to capture the video footage for editing.  
For more details refer to Control Screen on page 86.

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  
9 minutes  
4.5 minutes  
2.2 minutes  
4.5 minutes  
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.  
Using Avid OMF Clips  
These steps are required when using Avid OMF formatted clips.  
The Avid OMF file format was developed for use with Avid  
editing products on Windows 2000, Windows XP or Mac 0SX.  
These products include Avid Xpress Pro, NewsCutter, and Media  
Composer Adrenaline (with the DV option).  
The Avid OMF file format creates three files simultaneously; one  
OMF video file and two separate AIF audio files. On the  
computer's desktop, the files appear similar to those shown below.  
On the FS-100, the video file (OMF) and the audio files (AIF)  
appear as one track.  
When an Avid OMF file is deleted, the FS-100 deletes the audio  
and video portions at the same time.
