The Panasonic FireStore FS-100P by Focus Enhancements is a direct-to-edit digital video recorder designed specifically for the Panasonic AG-HVX200E PAL P2 camcorder. The FS-100P is armed with a 100 GB hard drive that can record up to 100 minutes of DVCPRO HD 1080p footage. The short run times associated with P2 cards are a thing of the past!
The device records all DVCPRO50/HD footage to Panasonic's standard MXF file and hooks up directly into nonlinear editing systems via FireWire. The benefit of direct-to-edit recording is limitless. After recording your footage, simply hook the drive to your computer and you are ready to start cutting. The revolutionary style of acquisition can be very helpful in news gathering when broadcast-ready footage is time critical.
