FOCUS Enhancements unveils new portable DV disk recorder
Jun 6, 2003 12:00 PM
FOCUS Enhancements has added a new addition to the FireStore family.
FireStore FS-3 is a portable DV disk recorder that mounts directly to
professional DV camcorders. It offers the same benefits as previous
FireStore models by eliminating capturing in the video production
process to provide access from NLE applications.
The FS-3 is based on FOCUS Enhancements'
DTE Technology, a solution that allows video, audio and timecode to be
recorded directly in native file formats to removable FireWire disk
drives.
The FireStore FS-3 weighs approximately two pounds. It includes
electronic shock protection, a full-featured control panel, a backlit
LCD, 4-pin XLR power input, a 6-pin external FireWire drive connection
and a 6-pin DV video input/output port.
It is based on FOCUS Enhancements' DTE Technology, a solution that
allows video, audio and timecode to be recorded directly in native file
formats to removable FireWire disk drives. DTE supports NLE file
formats such as DV-OMF for Avid Xpress DV, QuickTime for Apple Final
Cut, AVI 2 for Adobe Premiere, Canopus AVI and Matrox AVI. Recording in
native NLE file formats allows video professionals to eliminate the
need to capture, transfer, or convert files before editing.
The FS-3 is configured for professional DV camcorders including
Sony, Canon, Ikegami, Panasonic, and other camcorders that feature a DV
video input/output port and either an Anton Bauer, V-Mount, or NP style
battery system. Smaller camcorders are supported with off the shelf
battery mount adapters.
