Paris, France, Nov. 12, 2013 – VITEC, a worldwide leader in advanced video solutions, today announced the availability of the Focus FS-H70 Proxy Recorder, the second model of its proxy recorder product line.  FS-H70 is a portable H.264 High Definition recorder designed for cloud-based and production workflows.  Ideal applications include cinema proxy editing, dailies, breaking news, press junkets and online video sharing.

“Professional media files have become bigger and more complex – there is no easy way to share this content with others,” states Richard Bernard, Product Manager, Recording Solutions for VITEC. “Today, FS-H70 provides high quality media files that can be instantly shared and viewed; furthermore, these files are production level clips with industry standard wrappers, resolutions and provide frame accurate timecode.”

The Focus FS-H70 with SDI input simplifies acquisition workflow by recording edit-ready, low bit-rate H.264 clips. For proxy workflow editing applications, the frame accurate timecode allows an efficient matching of the high resolution/bitrate content recorded by the camera. Clips can be recorded as QuickTime MOV, MP4 and TS (AVC HD) files for simple and instant use in day-to-day workflows such as NLE/production and web sharing: Clips can be easily edited or directly uploaded to video platforms for immediate sharing (such as YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, …).   

FS-H70 has an integrated wireless web interface (using the VITEC wireless dongle) that allows the user to have a live preview of the SDI input and also playback/review recorded clips.  This web interface can be accessed using a standard web browser from a PC/Mac or mobile device.

Using the provided cradle, the portable Focus FS-H70 can be attached to many professional video cameras. It is incredibly light and provides several hours of continuous recording on a single charge.
