Defining a new class of DTE recording, the FS-5 Portable DTE Recorder weighs only 12 ounces, brings Direct To Edit® recording technology to your HDV or DV handheld camcorder, and enables you to add custom metadata while you’re recording. Focus FS-5 Portable DTE Recorder Go from Acquisition to Editing in One Step.
Featuring a backlit color display, an easy-to-use menu system, a hard drive, and a removable, rechargeable battery, the Focus FS-5 is the perfect DTE companion for your HDV or DV camcorder. Audio, video, timecode, and control information is passed through a single FireWire cable, allowing you to record to disk or to disk and tape simultaneously.
Designed for use in even the roughest conditions, the FS-5 includes a 10-second electronic shock cache to ensure that you never lose footage. Advanced features such as timelapse (DV mode only), retro disk recording, scene marking, and clip categorization make the FS-5 perfect for handheld shoots. When recording is complete, your footage is ready to edit instantly—no capturing, file transfer, or file conversion is required.
