MillimeterProducts: Focus Enhancements

Backup Security
If you're working with any of the new HDV camcorders, you know that dropout lurks as a problem with such thin tape.
That's part of the reason sales continue to grow for attached hard drive devices such as those from Focus Enhancements. The company's FireStore Direct To Edit (DTE) recorder was among the first products to offer backup security for DV25 camcorders. At NAB, Focus will debut the FireStore FS-4 HD and FS-4Pro HD for HDV camcorders.
For some shooters, it's the MiniDV tape that's used for backup because the drive yields longer record time — then they just connect the FireStore directly to a Mac/PC notebook or desktop and start editing. Features include a removable Li-ion battery pack, an LCD status display, multiple control modes, a retro-cache, and user-definable function keys. www.focusinfo.com
