Product:
Pinnacle Studio DV
Company: Pinnacle Systems
Website: http://www.pinnaclesys.com
Estimated Street Price: $199.00
Review By: Julien Jay
Introduction
Some
say “You’ve got a friend in the business”… But for pinnacle, we
should say: “You’ve got a video’s friend”. Pinnacle is a
German manufacturer well known for its great professional capture video
cards such as the miroVideo DC30 series. This review will study the
Pinnacle Studio DV package. Apple first introduced the Firewire standard.
Camcorders manufacturers included it on their digital Mini-DV camcorders
to share videos with a REAL and FULL digital quality. The Studio DV PCI
board’s intended use is with Mini-DV digital camcorders. It’s an IEEE
1394 board, based on a Texas Instruments’ chip; it will bring to your
computer 3 iLink/MiniDV/Firewire/IEEE 1394 connectors (two external and
one internal). It even allows you to plug IEEE 1394 hard disks. With a
bandwidth of 400Mb per seconds the Studio DV board is definitely an
interesting cheap solution to capture digital videos. It comes with the
awarded ‘Studio’ software that allows users to mount, edit, their
favorites videos by adding great effects (titles, transitions,
sounds, music, and much more) in a few click.
- Produce
Hollywood-style movies from your DV or Digital8 video tapes
- Installs with true
plug-and-play ease
- Capture an entire DV
tape in only 150 MB of disk space*
- Choose from over 300
professional-style titles and hundreds of scene transitions for a
polished look
- Compose custom
sountracks and voice-over narration to be in sync with the action
- Make video tapes, or
digital and streaming video for email or the Web
- Studio DV adds 3
ultra-fast FireWire®/1394 ports to your PC
