Using the FS-100 with a Computer
FS-100 Portable DTE Recorder
96
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.
