With a weight of just one pound and a thickness of only 1.5", the Focus FS-C Portable
DTE Recorder brings Direct To Edit recording technology to your Canon DV- or
HDV-based camcorder. Whether it's mounted directly to the rear of your Canon XL series
camcorder using the included mount kit or clipped to your belt, the Focus FS-C is designed
to excel in the field.
The Focus FS-C interfaces with your Canon DV or HDV camcorder using a single FireWire
cable that passes audio, video, timecode, and control information, allowing you to simultaneously
record to disk and tape in HDV or DV mode. It also provides a comprehensive
backlit display, menu system, and buttons to give you easy control and management.
The Focus FS-C comes standard with either a 60GB hard drive for up to 4.5 hours of DV or
1080i HD recording time or a 100GB hard drive for more than 7 hours of recording time.
You can also extend recording time by linking an additional Focus FS-C unit. A 10-second
electronic shock cache ensures that you never lose footage, even in the roughest of conditions.
And the Focus FS-C makes it easy to categorize clips by placing them in prenamed
folders on the disk while you shoot.
No matter which nonlinear editing (NLE) system you have, the Focus FS-C has you covered.
When in DV mode, fi les are recorded to disk as RawDV, AVI Type 1, AVI Type 2, AVI Type
2 24p, Matrox AVI, Canopus AVI, QuickTime, QuickTime 24p, Avid OMF, or Pinnacle AVI,
or to 1080i MPEG-2 transport streams (.m2t) when in HD mode. When working with DV
clips, simply connect the Focus FS-C to your Mac or PC editing system in the same way you
would connect a FireWire hard disk drive and you are instantly ready to edit. No capturing,
no file transfer, no file conversion. Just shoot and edit. When working in HD mode, you're
able to work with a growing list of compatible NLE systems.
With a removable, rechargeable battery and advanced features such as time lapse*, retro
disk recording, and scene marking, the Focus FS-C Portable DTE Recorder is the perfect
DTE companion for handheld shoots.
