character generators. You may use either a standard 6-pin to 4-pin or a
standard 4-pin to 4-pin FireWire cable for connecting DV video devices.
Once connected, it is possible to record video from the source device to the
connected FireWire hard disk drive (see Chapter 4).
DV Output
Once footage has been recorded to hard disk using FireStore, it is then pos-
sible to play it back just like using a VTR or Digital Disk Recorder (DDR). DV
video is output through the same "DV In/Out" 4-pin connector on FireStore
that was used as an input. You can connect DV based camcorders, VTRs,
mixers, character generators or DV to analog converters to FireStore in order
to record to tape or preview what is recorded to disk.
Note: It is only possible to connect one (1) DV video source to FireStore at a time.
Connecting a FireWire Hard Disk Drive
It is possible to connect just about any FireWire (IEEE-1394) hard disk drive
to FireStore. Focus Enhancements generally recommends that you use a
FireWire disk drive that is audio/visual capable. This basically means any
hard drive that is fast enough to read or write at least 7MB/s. FireStore will
also work with IEEE-1394 drive kits that put a FireWire front end on virtually
any ATA 100 or IDE hard drive.
It is also essential that the disk drive has a relatively fast access time (at most
about 10-12 milliseconds). Focus Enhancements highly recommends that you
use a hard drive that has been qualified for use with FireStore. You can check
the current list of qualified drives on our website: www.FOCUSinfo.com or
calling our technical support department at (408) 370 9963.
Disk Drives connect to FireStore via a 6-pin to 6-pin FireWire cable (supplied).
Plug the disk drive into the "To HDD" port on the back of FireStore.
