Focus introduces newest family addition to FireStore

FOCUS Enhancements, a worldwide leader in video production and conversion technology, have announced FS-3, its newest addition to the FireStore family.
FireStore FS-3 is a portable DV disk recorder that mounts directly to professional DV camcorders, and offers the same time-saving benefits as previous FireStore models by eliminating capturing in the video production process, to provide instant access from nonlinear editing (NLE) applications.
Matt McEwen, Product Manager for FOCUS Enhancements said: "FS-3 is designed to meet the growing needs of professional videographers seeking a portable disk recording solution that can significantly speed up nonlinear editing workflow.
“The addition of the highly portable FS-3 to the FireStore family has enabled us to further extend our field applications, while offering the proven time-saving benefits of Direct To Edit technology (DTE)."
The FireStore FS-3 weighs approximately two pounds and 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.
FireStore FS-3 includes electronic shock protection, 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, all of which provide easy integration with a videographer’s camera and accessories.
Like the other FireStore models, the FireStore FS-3 is based on FOCUS Enhancements’ DTE Technology - the only available 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, Matrox AVI and more. 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+ hours each month.
The FireStore FS-3 includes the 40GB FSHDD-1 FireWire disk drive and will be available mid- July through Mi Broadcast Ltd., FOCUS Enhancements UK & Ireland.
Additional removable FSHDD-1 FireWire disk drives will be available as accessories and range in capacity from 40GB to 80GB.
