Native QuickTime HDV Support
With the FS-C, you can record 1080i
50/60/24F/25F/30F or 720p 30 clips as
native QuickTime HDV. The FS-C extracts
and decodes the audio from the incom-
ing HDV stream, combines it with the
video stream, and wraps it as a Quick-
Time HDV file. When recording is com-
plete, your QuickTime HDV file can be
imported directly into Final Cut Pro—no
capture or conversion is required.
