deleting footage from the device. By using removable storage it is possible for unlimited recording times. Products such as FireStore DR-DV5000 have the advantage of removable FireWire disk drive storage. Having the recording technology and storage medium separate allows multiple storage volumes to be used with a single FireStore DR-DV5000, not limiting the video professional to a single, fixed volume. In the field, recordings can be made to multiple storage volumes utilizing a single FireStore DR-DV5000 device When it is time to edit, multiple storage volumes can be used at once directly on an NLE or multiple NLEs without tying up the FireStore device. Acquisition Editing Another question to consider is, how does the storage technology fit into the existing video production environment? Recording video to disk during acquisition is an exciting new technology, but how does this technology save video professionals time or money? That question is answered in part by how well it enhances the capabilities of other stages of production. For instance, if the existing editing system is able to immediately recognize the disk recording medium (such as a FireWire disk drive on a Mac or Windows based non-linear editing system) and stream clips from it as source material, then the video professional has a large time advantage. In this instance, the ingest stage of the video production process including capturing or file transfer is completely eliminated saving a large amount of time.
