Canon has become a distributor of the FireStore FS-4 DTE digital video-disk recorder from Focus Enhancements.

A companion for Canon prosumer camcorders, the FS-4 recorder enables DV streams to be recorded to the unit with or without a MiniDV tape inserted. Footage is recorded as edit ready files that can be imported and used immediately by most DV based non-linear editing systems, saving time, and providing a backup. The FS-4 recorder will be available in a 40GB (approximately 3 hours) model, While the FS-4 Pro recorder, which offers more advanced features will be available in 40GB and 80GB (approximately 6 hours) configurations.

“One of our main objectives for users of Canon’s prosumer camcorders such as the XL2 and GL2 has always been to expand the creative visions of filmmakers,” said Yukiaki Hashimoto of Canon. “The DTE technology in the FS-4 recorder meets the very stringent requirements set by our consumers, which is why we chose to work with Focus Enhancements.”
