Overview
Featuring a comprehensive backlit display, an easy-to-use menu system, a built-in hard drive, and a removable, rechargeable battery, the Focus FS-100 is the perfect DTE companion for the Panasonic camcorder. Audio, video, timecode, and control information is passed through a single FireWire cable, allowing you to record directly the the FS-100's internal hard disk. 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 ultra-long continuous record times are now even more economically viable, as our FS-100 250GB offers a stellar 4.5 hours of continuous recording duration at the full DVCPRO HD 100Mbps/60frame data rate. At a recording cost of $11/GB, the FS-100 250GB offers incomparable capacity-to-cost advantage to Panasonic DVCPRO HD P2 camera owners on long format shoots with the added value of supporting both P2 or QuickTime formats for drag-and-drop Final Cut Pro compatibility.
Native Frame-Rate RecordingThe 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.QuickTime Reference MoviesThe FS-100 uses the FAT32 disk format, allowing up to 2GB of recorded video per clip. While recording, the FS-100 automatically creates a new clip when the 2GB limit is reached, ensuring that no frames are dropped. Depending on the length of your recording, you may have multiple 2GB clips.
NLE System CompatibilityBecause 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.
