Using the FS-2/2E

3.3 How to Put Recorded Clips on a Computer System

Once you have recorded clips to a FireWire disk drive using FS-2/2E, you can use

those clips in most computer based DV NLE systems.
Traditionally, in order to get footage into an NLE system, it was necessary to

capture or digitize that footage utilizing a video capture card. Using the

FS-2/2E recorded clips, you can skip this capture stage by just connecting a

FireWire disk drive to your computer using an OHCI compliant IEEE-1394

(FireWire) PCI card or connect direct from the FS-2/2E using the HDD Bypass

mode (refer to

HDD Bypass

on page 50 for more information).

You can connect FireWire disk drives used with the FS-2/2E to any computer

system that will read a FAT 32 volume. This includes Windows 98SE, Windows

ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Mac OS9 and OS10.
Check the FOCUS Enhancements' website (www.FOCUSinfo.com) for more

information.
In order to use the FS-2/2E recorded FireWire disk drives on a computer, you must

have an active IEEE-1394 connection on your computer. You also must have loaded

any required FireWire disk drive drivers onto your computer system. Consult your

FireWire disk drive documentation for more information.
Connect your FireWire disk drive to your computer system utilizing a standard 6-

pin to 6-pin FireWire cable and connect power to the drive if necessary.
Consult the FireWire disk drive documentation for more information.
