PCI To 4 Ports 4/6 Pin 1394 Firewire IEEE DV HDV Video Capture Card

About this deal

This PCI expansion card adds four FireWire (IEEE 1394) ports to a desktop PC, providing both 4-pin and 6-pin connections to accommodate a wide range of FireWire devices. It allows users to connect up to 63 devices, with the specification supporting 100, 200 and 400 Mbits/sec transfer rates. It supports hot swapping, multiple speeds on the same bus and isochronous data transfer, which guarantees bandwidth for multimedia operations. It is ideal for videographers and hobbyists looking to capture or archive footage from older camcorders, as the standard was commonly used to connect DV (digital video) cameras as well as data storage devices. The card is fully OHCI-compliant and works with Adobe Premiere Elements, Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid Xpress DV and all other digital video editing packages that support FireWire (DV) capture. Compatible devices include portable hard disks, DV camcorders, digital cameras, CD-RW/DVD-ROM drives and other audio/video devices.
