Press Release Summary = New DTE Technology® file format allows HDV camcorder owners
to import clips directly into Apple Final Cut Pro 5 using Direct To Edit® Technology


Press Release Body = Campbell, Calif. - October 4, 2006 - Focus Enhancements, Inc.
(NASDAQ: FCSE), a worldwide leader in video production and conversion technology,
today announced the availability of version 2.0 software which adds native QuickTime
HDV support to its industry leading Direct To Edit (DTE) FS-4Pro HD, FS-C and
DR-HD100 recorders. The upgrade will be available for purchase in disc format on
the Focus Enhancements website for $39.

1080i 50/60 and 720p/30 clips recorded in the QuickTime HDV format using FS-4Pro HD,
FS-C and DR-HD100 can be used immediately in Apple Final Cut Pro 5 without having to
first capture or convert footage.

"The FS DTE Technology is the only disk recording solution that allows Final Cut
users to record natively in the QuickTime format during acquisition in standard or
high definition,\" said Matt McEwen, senior product manager for Focus Enhancements.
\"With the addition of QuickTime HDV support, Focus Enhancements' exclusive DTE
Technology continues its position as the industry's leading direct-to-disk
acquisition solution."

Sony, Canon and JVC camcorder owners can now record 1080i 50/60 or 720p/30 video
directly to their FS-4Pro HD, FS-C and DR-HD100 in native QuickTime. The file can
be imported directly into Apple Final Cut Pro and used immediately in the timeline -
eliminating the time-consuming steps of capturing and converting footage. The FS
extracts and decodes the audio from the incoming HDV stream, combines it with the
video stream, and wraps audio and video as a QuickTime file. Previously, clips had
to be either captured or converted prior to use in Final Cut Pro 5.

The FS-4Pro HD and DR-HD100 offer a 40GB (3 hour) or 80GB (6 hour) internal disk
drive, while the FS-C offers a 60GB (4 hour) or 100GB (7 hour) disk drive option.
These versions feature separate 6-pin FireWire connectors for interfacing with
camcorders and computers for editing or file transfer, a backlit status LCD display,
and a comprehensive set of control buttons including a navigation pad. The FS-C was
designed specifically for Canon HDV camcorders users. The DR-HD100 was designed for
JVC GY-HD100 camcorder owners.

The FS-4Pro HD 40GB model has a US MSRP of $1,395 while the 80GB model is $1,795.
The FS-C is available through Canon in both 60GB and 100GB versions for a US MSRP of
$1,395 and $1,995, respectively. The 40GB and 80GB DR-HD100 models are available
exclusively through JVC Professional for a US MSRP of $1,495 and $1,895,
respectively. The version 2.0 update can be ordered directly from the Focus
Enhancements website in disc format for an MSRP of $39.
