miroINSTANT Video 5 is a playback module for Adobe Premiere 5.1 that
works with miroVIDEO editing boards. It requires Premiere 5.1 compatible
software drivers for the editing board as well.
There are some slight differences in the miroINSTANT Video 5 operation
depending on the miroVIDEO editing board you use, please see the board
specific sections at the bottom of this document. If you are used to work with
miroINSTANT Video 2.0 and Premiere 4.2, see the “Changes From Previous
Versions” section on page 99.
Important: miroINSTANT Video 5 does not run on a miroVIDEO DC30
without the miroVIDEO Productivity Pack. This does not apply to other DC30
versions: plus, SPEED, or pro.

HAT IS IT GOOD FOR
?
When editing video tape with Premiere 5.1, using miroINSTANT Video 5
gives you three major advantages:
The duration of the rendering process, that happens after you have done the
editing and before you can watch your production or print it to tape, is
substantially reduced. This, in turn, increases productivity.
The amount of hard disk space required to do a production is being reduced
as well. In case of a simple cuts-only project miroINSTANT Video 5 saves
50% hard drive space. This saves money spend on larger hard drives.
The maximum duration of your productions is being increased. Without
miroINSTANT Video 5, the whole production must fit into a single AVI
file, which is limited to a maximum size of 2GB.
This results in a maximum project duration of less than 7 minutes when
working at a data rate of 5 MB/sec, for example.
Using miroINSTANT Video 5, the maximum project duration is 3 hours.
This makes long format work on a PC possible.
