Hi Chris, You list down RT2000/RT2500, is RTX100 Xtreme Pro not compatible? I wonder why because it's not in your list.

I'm pretty sure this list is coming from the FireStore people
themselves and is posted here for your information. I'd advice
you to contact them directly with your question.

No need to contact Focus Enhancements directly; this is their forum and they'll respond here, no problem.

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply, I have been on the road.

Ironically, Matrox RTX.100 with Premiere Pro is in our lab right now undergoing official qualification with FireStore. We should have the result shortly. That being said, I have heard of a number of users that have successfully used FireStore files with RTX.100 systems. It was even mentioned in a DV magazine review of FS-1 in the December 2002 issue.

I'll keep you posted and sorry for the late reply.

Thanks for the info Matt. FS-3 is on my list with my DSR250 and Matrox XTREME Pro.

Hi Jun,

Make sure you ask all the questions you can think of!

Here are some I put together:
