The FS-5 uses UDF file format which allows you to capture files up to 90 minutes!
Here are just a few of the workflow improvements the FS-5 provides:
• Capture your entire video as one continuous clip with UDF file support which eliminates any possibility of audio sync or re-linking errors caused by other file systems.
• Provides Native Quicktime HDV support for Final Cut Pro users and HDV MXF support for Avid users.
• Add metadata information to your clips while you are shooting templates which have been pre-designed for the kind of footage you shoot.
• Fast and flexible metadata generation and custom logging capabilities allow you to organize your clips in the field - editing becomes much faster and more efficient.
• Use a wireless device like an iPod Touch or Laptop to export your native metadata files (XML or embedded) to the FS-5 while you are shooting.
The FS-5 also includes these great new features:
• USB 2.0 connectivity allows quick, easy attachment and mounting to just about any Laptop or NLE workstation.
• Smaller size and longer recording times combined with our new Silent Operation design (no fan) insures that the FS-5 will work in even the trickiest of shooting environments.
• Scroll wheel and 4 programmable function keys makes operating and using the FS-5 simple.
• Wired and Wireless (with optional adapter) Network capabilities allow you to share your FS-5 files with multiple users on your network for enhanced editing collaboration. Wireless requires a USB WLAN adapter like the one we're including FREE for a limited time with your FS-5 purchase! Intro Special expires 7/31/08
