How does the Focus FS-1 name and manage clips or files?
The Focus FS-1 works with two different file or clip IDs; clip numbers and base file names. Track numbers basically list the track number in sequential order as it appears on the particular disk drive. For instance, the first recorded clip will be called “1-001”. Its base file name maybe “20010808-102345-01.avi”. Clip two would be called “1-002” and its base file name may be called “20010808-103515-01.avi”. The first track on a second connected disk drive would be called 2-001 and have a similar base file name as above. The base file name is determined by an internal clock on the FS-1 that is set by the end user. For instance, the file “20010808-102345-01.avi” means that recording on the file began August 8th, 2001 at 10:23:45 AM. Every time a new recording begins, the FS-1 will grab the current time and date and create the file name. This ensures that every file has a unique file name.
