Whether you’re a home user or
a corporate user, the Studio DV Plus board is definitely a great buy. For an
affordable price you’ll have the ultimate and easy to use device to capture
and create your own digital films with outstanding software (you can’t dream
of a better video editing software, really!). But since the device is really
versatile it’ll also support every OHCI compliant IEEE 1394 devices like Hard
Disks, Burners, etc. Thanks to the build S-Video output you’re ready to
export your personal productions on traditional VCR without any worries, so
if your DV camcorder is a DV-OUT only it’s not a problem anymore! Over time
the Studio DV Plus will become your best friend to capture, create, share,
