QuickStream DV Features
The usual workflow of the videographer in going from shooting to editing is that
video footage is first recorded by the DV camcorder onto a tape (e.g., MiniDV
tape) located inside the DV camcorder’s tape mechanism. The tape must then
be rewound and played/transferred from the DV camcorder to the computer, via
FireWire, before any editing can take place. This transfer process, however, is
extremely time consuming. For example, two hours of DV recording will take at
least two hours to transfer from tape to computer. Besides being time
consuming, both the camera and computer generally cannot be used for anything
else during this time. By using the QuickStream DV and recording directly onto
the drive while shooting, this entire transfer process is eliminated. When
shooting is over, users simply connect the QuickStream DV to their computer via
FireWire/IEEE 1394/i.LINK, find their video files in the designated folder and start
editing or performing whatever functions are needed immediately.
DV Recording in Camera and VCR/VTR Modes
Either record DV footage with the QuickStream DV while shooting or record DV
streams with the QuickStream DV by playing back previously captured DV
streams from tape by setting the DV camcorder to VCR/VTR mode or using a DV
tape deck.
DV Editing or DV Rendering
The QuickStream DV utilizes what is called a FAT32 file system. This file system
is compatible with Mac, PC, Linux, and standalone video editing systems. The
DV streams recorded with the QuickStream DV are captured and named
as “CLIPxxyy.mov”, “CLIPxxyy.dv”, ,or “CLIPxxyy.avi” files depending on which
file format was selected. Users are able to easily find the clips in the designated
folder and open or import them into their video editing application immediately.
