Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Focus Enhancements’ FS-C portable
direct-to-edit (DTE) disk recorder. The FS-C is the first portable DV/
HD disk recorder with DTE technology designed for hand held
camcorders in a small, rugged and shock proof chassis.
If you edit with applications from Adobe, Apple, Avid,
Canopus, Matrox, Pinnacle, Sony, Ulead, and many others,
Focus Enhancements' DTE Technology is the only solution that
can save hundreds of hours a year by recording clips to disk in
your non-linear editor’s (NLE) native file format.
DTE Eliminates Pre-edit Processing
The FS-C DTE disk recorder eliminates the need to capture,
transfer or convert video clips before editing. The FS-C is a
stand-alone device that records DV25, HD 720p, and HD 1080i
video to its disk drive as a NLE native file. In HD Recorder
mode it has the capability of capturing to disk HD 720p and
1080i video from HDV camcorders equipped with a 1394
interface. For most DV and many HDV compatible NLE
systems, when the disk drive is connected to a computer the
clips are immediately available for editing. Shoot, connect, and
edit: it is now that easy.
These capabilities make the FS-C the perfect companion for the
Canon HDV camcorders.

FS-C
Using with a Computer
Once video clips are recorded to the FS-C it is possible to use those
clips in most computer based DV/HD NLE systems. This section
contains the following:
In the past, to get footage into an NLE system, it was necessary
to capture / digitize the footage using a video capture card. For
most DV and some HDV compatible NLE systems, FS-C DTE
functionality eliminates the capture stage. All that is necessary
is the moving of the video files from the FS-C to a computer.
Recording for Unsupported NLE
If a desired NLE is not supported by Focus Enhancements DTE, it is
necessary to use the AV/C control to capture the video footage for editing.

FS-C and FAT 32
The FAT32 file system limits file size to a maximum of 2GB or
approximately, 9 minutes of recording time.
Recording Time Depends on Recorder Mode and Resolution
The number of minutes per 2G file depends upon the recorder mode and
resolution:
•
•
•
•
•
DV - 9 minutes,
720p (MOV) - 10 minutes,
720p (M2T) - 13 minutes,
1080i (MOV) - 8 minutes,
1080i (M2T) - 9 minutes,
When clips exceed 2GB in size, the FS-C automatically creates a
new, file without dropping any frames. The two files have the
same root filename but have different two digit suffixes that
indicate the order of their creation, -01, -02, and so on. This
process can produce as many sequential 2GB files as the drive
can hold.
With most DV and many HDV compatible NLE systems on
Windows or Macintosh computers, it is possible to use clips
within the timeline. Select the clips on the source volume, i.e.
the connected FS-C, and import them directly into the NLE bin.
This makes clips immediately available in the NLE timeline.
The high transfer speed of the FS-C drive permits direct
streaming of the clips to the NLE, thus eliminating the need to
copy or transfer the clips before their use.

The size of the video clip depends on the length of the
loop.
•
Loops of 60 minutes or less are recorded in one-minute
clips.
•
•
Loops greater than 60 minutes, are recorded in 2GB clips.
When the capacity of the disk is reached, one additional
clip is created. The size of the last clip depends on the
length of the loop i.e., one-minute or 2GB. The disk must
have at least 30 minutes of disk space available for this
functionality.
Saving Loop Record Clips

Organize Functions are Mutually Exclusive
Once one organize utility is performed on a set of files, another organize
function can not be applied. For example, if the Organize OMF is used on a
set of files, then Organize Reel can not be applied to them.
Organize Reel
This selection places all files identified as a REEL clip during
recording or playback into the appropriate reel folder. You can
import this folder directly into most DV NLE bins.
Organize OMF
When files are recorded in the AVID OMF file format, this
selection allows you to take all the OMF and AIF audio files at
the end of a recording session and place them into a folder on
the disk drive named OMFI MediaFiles. When the disk is
connected to a computer, this folder is recognized by Avid
Xpress DV's Media Tool enabling direct import of files into the
Avid timeline. Refer to the section, Using Avid OMF Clips
Organize MXF FS-C 2.0 upgrade only
When using MXF OPAtom with some NLEs, such as AVID
Xpress Pro, it is necessary to do an Organize MXF prior to
importing the clips. Organize MXF is available in the Utilities
menu.
The Organize MXF:
•
•

Organize PINN
This selection organizes clips for use with Pinnacle Liquid
series NLE systems. Products such as the Pinnacle file format
were created for use with products such as Pinnacle Liquid
Edition. The Pinnacle file format creates three files
simultaneously during a recording; an AVI video file and two
separate WAV audio files labeled as left and right. An
additional ALE file for each recording session is also created
which contains timecode data. This file must be kept with the
media.
Once clips have been imported into Liquid Edition, an Index
file is created on the disk drive for each clip. Do not delete this
file since it is required to continue work in the particular
project.
