The FS-4 and FS-4 Pro are portable DTE(Direct To Edit) disk recorders for use with hand-held DV(Digital Video) camcorders. Both FS-4 models feature an internal disk drive, portable enclosure and a host of record, playback and control features. When in use the device is connected to a camcorder via a FireWire cable and the output of the camera is recorded onto the disk drive. When recording is completed, the device is then connected to a personal computer via a FireWire cable and the data on the disk can be accessed and edited.

OBS

DTE combines the steps of acquisition (recording of the video imagery) and capturing (conversion of the data to a format that can be stored on disk). In effect, DTE eliminates the task of capturing files before editing them, bypassing the need for recording tape and reducing the overall amount of hardware used and time required for processing. DTE has been called tapeless DV recording technology.
