About Canon FS-CF Pro Recorder

The Focus Enhancements FS-CF Pro is a portable direct-to-edit recorder that captures SD and HD video to Compact Flash cards. Designed for Canon camcorders, the FS-CF Pro supports both DV and native HDV acquisition in a variety of resolutions and has the ability to record over 2.5 hours of footage to a 32GB card. By simply swapping in a fresh card when one is full, users can shoot the whole day without having to offload.

Just shoot, connect and edit-no more tape to log and capture, your clips are ready when you are! The FS-CF Pro provides a number of upgrades over the FS-CF, including clip thumbnail viewing, proxy content playback, MPEG4 proxy clips, FTP support and wired/wireless custom metadata logging, DV/HDV MXF support, user-definable 10-second retro cache and lower power consumption.
