Focus Enhancements Ships FireStore FS-3 DV Disk Recorder
August 27, 2003
Las Vegas, NV - FOCUS Enhancements' portable DV disk recorder - the FireStore FS-3, is now available through its worldwide dealer and distribution network.
Owners of Sony, Ikegami, Canon, Panasonic, and other professional camcorders can connect a portable DV disk recorder directly to their camcorder and take advantage of the time saving benefits of Direct To Edit Technology (DTE), the manufacturer reports. DTE Technology is FOCUS Enhancements' unique proprietary recording process that enables the recording of video, audio, and time code directly to removable, FireWire disk drives in non-linear editing (NLE) native formats. This eliminates the need to capture, transBfer, or convert clips prior to editing. Formats include DV-OMF for Avid Xpress DV, QuickTime for Apple Final Cut, AVI 2 for Adobe Premiere, Canopus AVI, Matrox AVI, and many others.
The FireStore FS-3 portable DV disk recorder weighs approximately two pounds and mounts directly to a professional DV camcorder that features 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. FireStore FS-3 includes a shock protection buffer, a full-featured control panel, a backlit LCD, 4-pin XLR power input, 6-pin external FireWire drive connection and a 6-pin DV video input/output port,B all of which provide easy integration with a videographer's camera and accessories.
Like other FireStore models, the FireStore FS-3 is based on FOCUS Enhancements' DTE Technology that allows video, audio and timecode to be recorded directly to disk in native file formats on removable FireWire disk drives. Recording in native NLE file formats allows video professionals to eliminate the need to capture, transfer, or convert files before editing - saving an estimated 25+ hours1 each month.
The FireStore FS-3 includes a 40GB FSHDD-1 removable FireWire disk drive and is now available through the FOCUS Enhancements worldwide dealer and distributor network for a US MSRP of $1,995.00. Additional removable FSHDD-1 FireWire disk drives are available as accessories from Focus Enhancements.
