Important: Although this type of video interface uses FireWire, it is not used to connect
DV devices. If you want to capture or output DV video, you can connect your DV device
directly to the FireWire port on your computer.

PCI Express Video Interface Card
If you are using professional analog or digital formats (either standard definition or high
definition) without native FireWire connectivity, you need to purchase and install a PCI
Express video interface card to connect your video deck or camcorder to your computer.
Many PCI Express interface cards come with a breakout box where video, audio, and
perhaps even 9-pin remote connectors are located (rather than on the PCI Express card
itself). Interface cards are also referred to as video cards or capture cards. This is not the
same as the video graphics card used to send signals to your main computer display.
PCI Express cards allow you to capture and output video with high data rates, such as
uncompressed standard definition (SD) and high definition (HD) video. PCI Express cards
are necessary for high-end applications such as compositing, online editing, and
uncompressed video editing. Many PCI Express cards have BNC or RCA connectors
mounted directly on the back of the card. In this configuration, you connect your video
equipment directly to the PCI Express card connectors on the back of your computer.
