FOCUS Enhancements has released the FS-3 an addition to its FireStore product line. The FS-3, a portable DV disk recorder which mounts to professional DV camcorders that feature a DV video input/output port and either an Anton Bauer, V-Mount or NP style battery mount, eliminates capturing in the video production process for access from NLE applications.

The FireStore FS-3 includes electronic shock protection, a control panel, a backlit LCD, 4-pin XLR power input, 6-pin external FireWire drive connection and a 6-pin DV video input/output port. FOCUS says that the FS-3, like other FireStore models, is the only system that allows video, audio and timecode to be recorded directly in native file formats to removable FireWire disk drives.
