Focus FS-4 Specifications

FS-4Pro HD
Native QuickTime HDV Support
With the FS-4Pro HD, you can record
1080i 50/60 or 720p 30 clips as native
QuickTime HDV. The FS-4Pro extracts
and decodes the audio from the incom-
ing HDV stream, combines it with the
video stream, and wraps it as a Quick-
Time HDV file. When recording is com-
plete, your QuickTime HDV file can be
imported directly into Final Cut Pro—no
capture or conversion is required.

never lose footage. Audio, video, timecode, and control information is passed through a
single FireWire cable, allowing you to record to disk and tape simultaneously. And when re-
cording is complete, your footage is ready to edit instantly—no capturing, file transfer, or file
conversion is required. FS-4 Portable DTE Recorders are compatible with a wide
range of nonlinear editing systems. For a complete list of DTE-compatible NLE software,
