JVC Professional Chooses Focus Enhancements' DV Disk Recording Solution
March 14, 2003
Campbell, CA - Focus Enhancements, Inc. and JVC Professional have teamed up to unveil the DR-DV5000, a DTE-capable direct disk recorder that mounts between a camcorder and battery system.
The DR-DV5000 mounts between the camcorder and battery system on JVC's full line of Professional DV camcorders. It can record up to four and half hours on a single drive (based on a 60 GB capacity) and comes with retro loop and time-lapse capabilities.
Other features include multiple control modes, powerful disk utilities, playback modes, infrared remote control with wired and serial remote control options, and a small, lightweight enclosure that mounts directly to a camcorder's battery plate. When mounted directly to the JVC GY-DV5000 camcorder, a single connector interfaces to the DR-DV5000 and provides enhanced integration.
Direct To Edit Technology is Focus Enhancements' proprietary recording process that enables the recording of video, audio and time code directly to removable, FireWire disk drives. For the first time, edit ready clips are immediately available to the nonlinear editing (NLE) system in their native file formats including RawDV, AVI Type 1, AVI Type 2, Matrox AVI, Canopus AVI, QuickTime and Avid DV-OMF. This eliminates the capturing process, saving a videographer up to 25 hours a month, according to the manufacturer. DTE Technology was the developing ground for Focus Enhancements' current line of FireStore DV disk recorders.
The DR-DV5000 will be marketed and distributed by JVC Professional Products as an option to its line of Professional DV camcorders. Customers can also purchase an optional user-configurable DR-DV5000 FireWire hard drive enclosure. Both will be priced and available through the JVC Professional worldwide distribution network in Q2 2003 (May).
