professionals to capture digital video (DV) content directly to a high

FireWire (IEEE-1394) interface allows direct capture from Digital camcorders,
VTR’s or mixers. With its simple and dependable VTR-style controls, the
DV
Bank is very easy to use and integrates seamlessly with your existing studio
