First, install Adobe Premiere, which is one of the programs in the DV500’s bundle. Installing the DV500 was fairly straightforward. We tested the DV500 on a Pentium III 550MHz with 128MB RAM, a Matrox G400 display adapter and an IBM UltraStar 9GB SCSI 2 hard drive for capture all running under Windows 98.
Although the box claims that it is compatible with Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000, those drivers were still in Beta at press time, so we had to use either Windows 98 or 98SE. First, you need to have at least a Pentium II 400MHz, 128MB RAM and a SCSI 2 capture drive. The minimum system requirements for this capture card are steep. Not only that, it promises to do it all for less than $1,000. This card promises to provide analog and digital input and output, and enough speed to push some of the transitions into the realm of real-time. Now Pinnacle Systems has introduced the DV500. The FAST Multimedia DV Master, the Canopus DVRex-M1 and the Matrox RT2000 have set the standard for dual-purpose capture cards. Only a few products offer both digital and analog I/O. You need an IEEE 1394 card if you have a digital (Mini DV or Digital8) camcorder, or a digitizing card if you have an analog (8mm or VHS family) camcorder. The capture card that you choose depends largely on the type of camcorder that you own. When it comes to editing video on a computer, you first have to get your video onto the hard drive.
