April 18, 2004
Las Vegas, NV - FOCUS Enhancements Inc. will demonstrate four new file formats for the company's Direct To Edit (DTE) Technology at NAB, the company has announced, including:
-- HDV -- As a new supporter of the high-definition video (HDV) forum established by Canon, Sharp, Sony and JVC in September 2003, FOCUS Enhancements will showcase HDV support on the FireStore platform using a working model to record and play 720p and 1080i MPEG-2 streams.

This will be demonstrated on a FireStore FS-3 with prototype software.
