FireStore FS-4 Portable DTE Recorder The FireStore FS-4 interfaces with your camcorder using a single FireWire cable that passes audio, video, timecode, and control information, allowing you to simultaneously record to disk and tape. It also provides a comprehensive backlit display, menu system, and buttons to give you easy control and management. Available in four configurations, the FireStore FS-4 comes  with a 100GB hard drive for several hours of recording time. You can also extend recording time by linking multiple FireStore FS-4 units together. A six- or ten-second (model-dependent) electronic shock cache ensures that you never lose footage, even in the roughest of conditions. No matter which DV nonlinear editing (NLE) system you have, the FireStore FS-4 has you covered. When in DV mode, files can be recorded to disk as RawDV, AVI Type 1, AVI Type 2, AVI Type 2 24p, Matrox AVI, Canopus AVI, QuickTime, or QuickTime 24p. FireStore FS-4Pro models also include Pinnacle AVI and Avid DV-OMF. In addition to DV file formats, the HD models also support 1080i and 720p MPEG-2 (.m2t) files. When working with DV clips, simply connect the FS-4 to your Mac or PC editing system in the same way you would connect a FireWire hard disk drive and you are instantly ready to edit. No capturing, no file transfer, no file conversion. Just shoot and edit. 
FireStore FS-4Pro With all of the features of the FS-4, plus three  hours of recording time and multiple DTE recording formats, the FireStore FS-4Pro Portable DTE Recorder provides the functionality that video professionals demand. Using reels, the FS-4Pro makes it easy to categorize clips by placing them in prenamed folders on the disk while you shoot. Advanced features, such as time lapse, retro disk recording, and scene marking, make the FS-4Pro the perfect solution for professional recording.
