Local and AV/C Control Mode Changes
There are now two control sub menus under LOCAL and AV/C in the control
mode menu. These are NORMAL, INDEX AT TC and INDEX AT SCENE.
Normal Mode – This is the default setting. When the FS-2 Control mode is set
to LOCAL or AV/C -> NORMAL, recordings are continuous to a single base file
until STOP is triggered.
Index at TC –When the FS-2 Control mode is set to LOCAL or AV/C -> INDEX
AT TC, recordings are continuous until a break in the incoming timecode stream
is detected. At that time, a new file is automatically created. No frames are lost
during the transition to a new clip.
Index at Scene –When the FS-2 Control mode is set to LOCAL or AV/C ->
INDEX AT SCENE, recordings are continuous until a scene break is detected in
the incoming video stream. At that time, a new file is automatically created within
one second of the scene change. No frames are lost during the transition to a
new clip.

Video Adjust Menu Changes
Three additional items have been added to the VIDEO ADJUST settings in the
SETUP menu. They are BLACK LEVEL, H PHASE (horizontal phase) and SC
PHASE (sub carrier phase).
While other items in the VIDEO ADJUST menu are for adjusting analog video
input levels, BLACK LEVEL, H PHASE and SC PHASE adjustments affect all
outputs.
Black Level – Allows the output black level to be set to either 0 IRE or 7.5 IRE.
0 IRE is the default setting. This menu item is only present when FS-2 is set to
NTSC mode.
H Phase – Allows the horizontal phase to be adjusted between +127 and -128.
The default value is set at 0. By pressing and holding either the up or down
arrow keys for more than 3 seconds changes the value by increments of ten.
SC Phase – Allows the sub carrier phase to be adjusted between +127 and -
128. The default value is set at 0. By pressing and holding either the up or down
arrow keys for more than 3 seconds changes the value by increments of ten.
Also note, the HUE adjustment under the VIDEO ADJUST menu is only present
when FS-2 is set to NTSC mode.
