Digital Audio Video (DAV)
Technology

The optional video input card has a separate connector called

the DAV connector. The DAV connector provides access from a

PCI card to the video input card by means of a 60-pin cable.

This allows the PCI expansion card to use the video card to

transfer real-time video data to the computer. The video

card accepts video from an external source and displays it in

a window on the computer’s monitor.

Note:

The interface of the 60-pin DAV connector is a

superset of the interface on the 34-pin DVA connector on the

Power Macintosh 5200, Power Macintosh 6200, and Quadra

630 computers. An adapter cable is provided with the

Performa 6400 video-in cards to connect 34-pin DVA

compatible cards developed for the Power Macintosh 5200

and 6200 computers to the new 60-pin DAV connector.
