Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Focus Enhancements’ FireStore FS­100 portable direct­to­edit (DTE) disk recorder. The FireStore FS­ 100 is the first portable DVCPROHD/DVCPRO50/DVCPRO/DV disk recorder with DTE technology designed for hand held camcorders in a small, rugged and shock proof chassis.

If you edit with applications from Adobe, Apple, Avid, Canopus, Matrox, Pinnacle, Sony, Ulead, and many others, FireStore's DTE Technology is the only solution thatcan save hundreds of hours a year by recording clips to disk in yournon­linear editor’s (NLE) native file format.

DTE Eliminates Pre­edit Processing

The FS­100 DTE disk recorder eliminates the need to capture, transfer or convert video clips before editing. The FS­100 is a stand­ alone device that records DVCPROHD, DVCPRO50, and DVCPRO/ DV video to its disk drive as a NLE native file. For most DV and many P2 compatible NLE systems, when the disk drive is connected to a computer the clips are immediately available for editing. Shoot, connect, and edit: it is now that easy.

In addition, the FS­100 can record digital video streams up to and including 100Mb/s.

These capabilities make the FS­100 the perfect companion for the Panasonic HVX200 P2 DVCPROHD camcorder. In addition, the FS­100 is suitable for use with other Panasonic DVCPROHD, DVCPRO50, and DVCPRO camcorders with an IEEE­1394 interface.
