Excellent Condition. Includes Portable DTE Recorder, Power Cable, 1 Battery, and Mounting Sleeve
The Focus FS-100 Portable DTE Recorder brings Direct To Edit® recording technology to your Panasonic AG-HVX200 P2 camera. Whether it’s mounted directly to your camcorder or clipped to your belt, the FS-100 is designed to excel in the field.
Featuring a comprehensive backlit display, an easy-to-use menu system, a 100GB, 160GB, or 250GB hard drive, and a removable, rechargeable battery, the Focus FS-100 is the perfect DTE companion for the Panasonic AG-HVX200 camcorder. Audio, video, timecode, and control information is passed through a single FireWire cable, allowing you to record to disk and P2 card simultaneously. Designed for use in even the roughest conditions, the FS-100 includes a six- or ten-second electronic shock cache to ensure that you never lose footage. Advanced features such as time lapse, retro disk recording, scene marking, and clip categorization make the FS-100 Portable DTE Recorder the perfect companion for handheld shoots. When recording is complete, your footage is ready to edit instantly—no capturing, file transfer, or file conversion is required.
The FS-100 enables you to record DVCPRO HD at 720p 24/25/30 in P2 or QuickTime file formats at native frame rates. Only the required frames are recorded. This feature not only eliminates the need to remove pulldown or duplicate frames during ingest, but also enables you to record twice as much DVCPRO HD video to disk. The FS-100 also supports variable frame rate (VFR) recording for spectacular slow-motion and fast-motion effects. VFR files are imported directly into your NLE system’s timeline—no conversion is required.
The Direct To Edit Advantage
With the FS-100 Portable DTE Recorder, you’ll go from acquisition to editing with unparalleled speed, efficiency, and reliability. By combining DTE Technology® with advanced caching and redundant P2 card and disk, the FS-100 ensures that you never miss an important shot or lose critical footage. And best of all, your footage is ready to edit instantly.
NLE System Compatibility
Because the FS-100 is capable of recording video in a wide range of formats, it’s compatible with a large number of
nonlinear editing systems. For example, you can record DVCPRO 50 or DVCPRO HD in native QuickTime mode and import clips directly into Final Cut Pro.
QuickTime Reference Movies
FS-100 supports QuickTime reference movies, which allow multiple clips—whether they’re five minutes long or one hour long—to appear as a single Quick-Time movie. When you import a Quick-Time reference movie into Final Cut Pro, the clips it references appear as a single QuickTime file, eliminating multiple clips and enhancing your workflow.
