Focus Enhancements FS-H200 & FS-H200 Pro
by: 
 3/08/2010 2:41 PM
The workflow of today centers on tapeless acquisition. Yet we must remember that it was Focus Enhancements—through its FireStore Direct To Edit products—that led the way to tapeless acquisition even when everyone was exclusively shooting tape.

In short, the FSH units are wonderful devices for a format that is being superseded. The FS-H200 and FS-H200 Pro should be part of any HDV shooter's toolkit. For the $300 difference, the Pro adds some nice features, but even the $895 original unit pro Read More

by: 
 8/12/2009 9:58 AM
Not long after NAB 2009, I received an email announcing the FSH-200, the first Focus Enhancements product to lose the spinning disc and replace it with flash memory. The FSH-200 is physically identical to the FS-5 with one important exception: There is a slot on the right side to accept the Compact Flash card that replaces the hard disk. Read More

Solid State Recording For The Masses! Focus Enhancements Goes Compact Flash
by: 
 6/02/2009 2:57 PM
Focus Enhancements has been hitting the ball out of the park with hard drive recorders for several years now, and the big brains there have just made another leap. Enter the FS-H200, which at first glance looks like an FS-5 hard disc recorder. However, when you turn it on it’s side, you will find a Compact Flash slot instead of an internal hard drive. Using HV and HDV’s 13-gigs-per-hour data rate, it’s an easy calculation that a 16Gb compact flash card will record over an hour of footage, and Read More

(Direct To Edit) technology the footage is captured into the format that your NLE application works with best. Regardless of the format you choose the video plays back perfectly on the LCD screen - smooth, crisp and clear. With an iPod Touch and wireless network adapter you are able to control the video (play, pause rewind etc. Read More
