Can I control FS-3 from the Rec Button on my camcorder?
Yes, it is possible to control FS-3 from any camcorder that features a DV (iLink, FireWire) output. FS-3 must be first set to SYNCRO SLAVE mode to be controlled by a camcorder. Most camcorders also require that tape be inserted in order for this to operate. In this mode, FS-3 goes into a “record standby” mode where it prepares the disk to start recording. Over the same FireWire connection between FS-3 and camcorder, control commands for record and record standby can be sent by the camcorder to FS-3. Therefore, every time that the standard REC button is pressed on the camcorder, FS-3 will begin recording as well. When you press the REC button again to put your camcorder into record standby, FS-3 will also pause the recording. When record is pressed again, FS-3 will also begin recording again, BUT, it also starts a new file on disk. Therefore, all your footage is broken up into separate files on the disk which allows you better flexibility and efficiency when editing. Check our compatibi
