Getting FireStore Recorded Clips onto Your Com-
puter
Once you have recorded clips to your FireWire disk drive using FireStore, it
is possible to use those clips in most DV based NLE systems. Traditionally,
in order to get footage into your NLE system, it was necessary to capture or
digitize that footage utilizing a video capture card. Using FireStore re-
corded clips, it is possible to skip this capture stage by simply connecting
the FireWire disk drive to your computer via an OHCI compliant IEEE-1394
(FireWire) compliant PCI card or connection. FireWire disk drives that were
used with FireStore can be connected to any computer system that will read
a FAT 32 volume. This includes Windows 98SE, Windows ME, Windows
2000 and Mac OS9 and later (excluding OS10 presently). FAT32 volumes
will not work with Windows NT and older Macintosh based operating
systems. Check the Focus Enhancement's website (www.FOCUSinfo.com)
for more information.
In order for you to use FireStore recorded FireWire disk drives on a com-
puter, you must have an active IEEE-1394 connection on your computer.
You also must have loaded any required FireWire disk drive drivers onto
your computer system (Consult your FireWire disk drive documentation
for more information).
Simply connect your FireWire disk drive to your computer system utilizing
a standard 6-pin to 6-pin FireWire cable and connect power to the drive if
necessary (some FireWire disk drives receive power from the computer's
FireWire connection. Consult your FireWire disk drive documentation for
more information). See below:
Once you have connected your FireWire disk drive to your computer, the
computer will automatically mount the disk drive to the computer's
desktop.
