FIRESTORE FS-3 AND DR-DV5000

Ideal for electronic news gathering (ENG), electronic field production (EFP), and other
portable video applications, the FireStore FS-3 Camera-Mount DTE Recorder mounts
directly to full-size DV camcorders and brings Direct To Edit
® disk recording technology
to the field. Featuring industry-standard Anton/Bauer, V-mount, PAG lock, or NP battery
mount plates, the FireStore FS-3 fits perfectly between the camcorder and the battery
using a DV input/output port, and draws power from the camcorder’s existing battery
system.
FireStore FS-3 Camera-Mount DTE Recorder
With the FireStore FS-3, you can record only to disk or record simultaneously to disk and
tape for archive and backup. The FireStore FS-3 features removable FireWire drives in 40GB
(3 hours) and 80GB (6 hours) configurations, making it easy to swap out FS-HDD1 drives
as needed. And if you require extended storage, you can daisy chain up to four external
FireWire drives.
With 8MB of cache, an internal shock gasket, 10 seconds of electronic shock cache, and a
file error correction utility, the FS-3 ensures that you never miss a shot. As added protection,
the retro-cache record feature places up to 10 seconds of retro video at the beginning of
any clip. Use the retro disk feature, and you can extend retro recording time to the entire
available space on your disk drive.
With the FireStore FS-3, managing clips is easy. The scene marking feature enables you to
assign clips to custom, prenamed folders for easy access later. You can identify and catego-
rize only the clips you need—while you shoot. The FireStore FS-3 also offers time-lapse
recording, a variety of playback options, and a VTR-style interface. Remote control options
include AV/C via FireWire, infrared remote, wired remote, GPI, or RS-232C.
FireStore DR-DV5000
The FireStore DR-DV5000 is designed specifically for JVC full-size DV camcorders. It in-
cludes all of the features of the FireStore FS-3, plus a cable-free camcorder connection,
viewfinder-based FireStore status display, and dump-to-tape and dump-to-disk record
modes (when used with JVC GY-DV5000/5100 camcorders).
