Firestore FS-100
Item#:FIRESTORE
(NOTE: All of our FS-100's are updated with v3.0 software. FS-100 v3.0 software adds Native DVCPRO HD 720/24pn, 25pn and 30pn recording, which more than doubles record time. It is also now possible to record DVCPRO 50 and DVCPRO HD QuickTime files for direct import into Final Cut Pro.) The FireStore FS-100 interfaces with the Panasonic AG-HVX200 camcorder using a single FireWire cable that passes audio, video, timecode, and control information, allowing you to simultaneously record to disk and P2 card. It also includes a comprehensive backlit display, menu system, and buttons that provide easy control and management. The FireStore FS-100 comes standard with a 100GB hard drive that provides 1.5 hours of DVCPRO HD recording time. You can also extend recording time by linking multiple FireStore FS-100 units together. A 10-second electronic shock cache ensures that you never lose footage, even in the roughest of conditions. And the FireStore FS-100 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 FireStore FS-100 has you covered. When in DVCPRO HD or DVCPRO 50 mode, files are recorded to disk in P2 MXF format. When in DVCPRO/DV mode, files are recorded as RawDV, AVI Type 1, AVI Type 2, AVI Type 2 24p, Matrox AVI, Canopus AVI, QuickTime, QuickTime 24p, Avid OMF, Pinnacle AVI, or P2 MXF file formats. Simply connect the FireStore FS-100 to your Mac or PC editing system like a normal FireWire hard disk drive and you are instantly ready to edit -- no capturing, file transfer, or file conversion is required. Just shoot and edit. With a removable, rechargeable battery and advanced features such as time lapse, retro disk recording, and scene marking, the FireStore FS-100 Portable DTE Recorder is the perfect companion to the AG-HVX200 for both HD and SD production.
