JVC PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTS COMPANY announced today the
availability of the FOCUS Enhancements, Inc. (NASDAQ SC: FCSE), FireStore
DR-DV5000 portable disk recording module exclusively through JVC
PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTS COMPANY dealers. JVC is offering a special $500 rebate
to customers that purchase the JVC GY-DV5000U camcorder together with the
FireStore DR-DV5000 from now through September 26, 2003.
A leader in video production and conversion technology, FOCUS Enhancements
specifically designed the FireStore DR-DV5000 for JVC’s line of professional
DV camcorders. The DR-DV5000 offers significant productivity gains in video
post-production and non-linear editing (NLE) applications with its unique
Direct To Edit (DTE) Technology, which combines the acquisition and capture
of visual data and records edit-ready video in Native NLE file formats
directly to internal or external hard drives. The DR-DV5000 mounts onto
JVC’s GY-DV5000U and connects though a 52-pin connector, allowing seamless
communication of video input, power and
status information between the devices.
“The FireStore DR-DV5000 module has enabled us to offer customers additional
time-saving benefits in non-linear editing workflow,” said Robert Mueller,
executive vice president for JVC PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTS COMPANY. “With the
GY-DV5000U camera’s potential to record up to 276 minutes of video, the
DR-DV5000 lets customers take advantage of the increased recording
capabilities without the time-consuming burden of transferring and
converting the video to their specific NLE format.”
Based on a JVC survey at this year’s NAB show, the FireStore DR-DV5000
module was popular with respondents, with more than half of those surveyed
indicating a likelihood of purchasing a JVC Professional DV camcorder with
its combined disk recording option.
"The release of FireStore DR-DV5000 marks our commitment to deliver JVC and
its customers a portable digital disk recording solution that truly
eliminates the capturing and transferring of video prior to editing,” said
Michael Conway, vice president of marketing for FOCUS Enhancements. "Tapeless
recording technologies are quickly gaining momentum and acceptance in the
professional and broadcast market, and we believe our field-proven DTE
Technology will create more opportunities for customers seeking a
time-savings solution."
