Professional Digital Video Capture Interface for PC and MAC Platforms 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Overview:   

The Vaddio ProductionVIEW DV Capture interface is a high quality analog video to digital video converter 
and capture device with audio for both PC and Mac FireWire/1394 enabled computer platforms.  As a part 
of the ProductionVIEW console suite of products, the DV Capture interface is the ultimate tool for 
capturing and converting live or prerecorded, analog video and pro audio feeds into professional quality 
DV format.     
 
The DV Capture has standard definition video inputs that include composite video, S-Video and 
component (Y, P

) video and a 6-Pin FireWire/1394 output.  The DV Capture is well suited to be used 

with a professional audio mixer and is equipped with professional level, stereo line inputs on XLR 
connectors as well as stereo line level inputs on RCA connectors.  Each channel can also be attenuated 
with the recessed level controls to ensure proper level matching between analog sources.  
 
The Vaddio ProductionVIEW DV Capture interface is easy to use and is compatible with many of the 
most popular video software packages available today.  The DV Capture has universal device drivers 
built-in for auto-recognition and driver installation when using Windows® XP or Windows 2000 and 
Macintosh computers with OS 9.0.4 and above.
