CAMPBELL, CA , a worldwide leader in media management and Ultra Wideband (UWB) wireless technology, today announced the upcoming availability of the version 3.0 update for its popular DR-HD100 Portable DTE recorder. Among other enhancements, version 3.0 enables owners of JVC GY-HD200 and HD250 ProHD camcorders to record 720p 50 and 60 files directly to DR-HD100 in QuickTime format -- further streamlining the production process with the direct import of files into Final Cut Pro version 6.0.2.

"Since the introduction of the JVC GY-HD200 and 250 series of camcorders, we have been inundated with requests from users to support their 720p 50 and 60 workflow within Final Cut Pro," said Mark D'Addio, vice president of business development for Focus Enhancements. "We are pleased that DR-HD100 version 3.0 makes this possible."

"With the version 3.0 update from Focus Enhancements, the DR-HD100 is able to provide the fastest and most efficient professional HD 60p and 50p editing available today," states Craig Yanagi, National Marketing Manager of Creation Products, JVC Professional Products Company. "Our continuous close engineering collaboration has resulted in the development of this revolutionary high definition recording and editing workflow solution."

In addition to QuickTime 720p 50 & 60 support, DR-HD100 version 3.0 adds auto-reel functionality to help streamline the production process by ensuring users can easily identify clips in the editing system. With auto-reel, users can assign clips to pre-named reel folders on disk. Once a reel has been selected, all subsequent clips will automatically be placed in the same reel until the user selects a new clip or disables the auto-reel function.

"Currently, WXYZ-TV relies on 27 DR-HD100 recorders, along with JVC GY-250 ProHD camcorders, for our standard definition electronic news gathering," said Ray Thurber, Director of Engineering at WXYZ-TV, a local ABC affiliate in Detroit, Michigan and part of the Scripps Television Group. "With version 3.0, our crews will be able to record in 720p 50 and 60, edit in Final Cut Pro, and then send to our server for playout. Version 3.0 is the end-to-end workflow solution that we've been waiting for, and we are excited about the additional time savings it will bring to our HD production process."

Version 3.0 will be available for $39 on the Focus Enhancements website in the first half of January 2008. For more information, please visit www.focusinfo.com.
