allows mount and dismount of the drives
without re-cabling or computer re-boots.
• Jump from clip to clip without spooling
through tape when in playback mode.

embedded DV audio in either 2-ch (16-bit,
48kHz) or 4-ch (12-bit, 32kHz) formats.

or create your own Free Run, Regen or Rec
Run timecode. It is also possible to preset
timecode and user-bit values.

DR-DV5000's VTR style controls.
• Record and recall a single frame of DV
video. Also record user definable time-lapse

frame per second increments.
• Use trick playback modes such as up to
30X/-30X fast-forward and rewind speeds,
reverse play, loop clip and loop entire disk.
• Control DR-DV5000 remotely via FireWire
(for triggering record/pause or AV/C) from a
DV based camcorder GPI port. Alternatively,

BASIC APPLICATIONS

FireStore DR-DV5000 can be used
both in the acquisition stage of production,
the editing/post production stage and the
presentation stage. FireStore DR-DV5000 is
most useful in the following applications:
• Record DV video live to disk at the
acquisition stage. Not only will you have an
exact copy of your camcorder's tape footage
on disk with the same timecode, audio and
video information, it will be possible to
quickly review shot footage back through your
camcorder without risking damaging the tape
in your camcorder's tape transport. This
"confidence recording" will save time and
reduce costly re-shoots during production.
• Clips are recorded in DTE Technology
based "edit-ready" file formats such as
RawDV , AVI Type 1, AVI Type 2, Matrox AVI,
Canopus AVI, QuickTime or Avid DV-OMF.
This will allow you to get your footage onto
a computer (Mac or PC) and view or edit it
quickly. The FireStore FSHDD-1 or external
FireWire disk drive can either be connected
directly to your computer (without FireStore)
or through FireStore which allows you to
mount/un-mount any connected drives without
re-cabling or re-booting. This also allows you
to capture footage to disk without tying up
your computer.
• Playback DV video clips that were recorded
to a connected FireWire hard disk drive from
