Very interesting menu but no indication of total drum hours or power time its te only secret menu I know.
Firestore on GY DV500 yes
but no return vidéo on view finder and just synchro REC start work by firwire
The connection between the GY-DV500 and the FireStore DR-DV5000 is a power connector and a 6-4 pin FireWire cable. Comminucation such as record triggers, AV/C control, timecode and DV audio/video all are passed via the FireWire connection.
On the Focus support website, you can download the DR-DV5000 QuickStart guide which details the mount process to the compatible JVC cameras.
on 5000 5100 there is more control of firestore by camcorder
Citation:
Focus manufactures two camera mount FireStore models, DR-DV5000 and FS-3.
DR-DV5000 was designed to be used with the GY-DV5000 camcorder and is sold exclusively by JVC. DR-DV5K mounts between the battery system and the camcorder. Communication between the camcorder and DR-DV5K is via a 52-pin connection which passes power, DV and control information. When used with the GY-DV5000, it is possible to trigger record from the camcorder with or without a tape. It also features disk recorder status in the view finder, no need for an external FireWire cable for DV I/O, multiple control modes and the unique dump to tape/dump to disk feature. DR-DV5000 can also mount directly to the GY-DV500, DV550 or DV700 camcorders. It is however necessary to have a tape loaded in order to "slave" the DR-DV5000 to the camcorder's record triggers.
FS-3 is designed for use on other camcorders. FS-3 comes configured with either Anton/Bauer, V-Mount, PAG-Lock or NP battery mounts and is designed to mount between the camcorder and battery system. For more info on these models and their specifications, visit http://www.firestore.com.
