•

 

Use this mode when the camcorder does not have FS-100 

compatible external control or the tapeless trigger functionality. 

In 

 control mode, the 

FS-100 mimics the camcorder’s operations by monitoring the 

camcorder’s tape record state.

•

 

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.

•

 

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. 
Please refer to Configuring AG-HVX200 and Recording on page 37.
