Video Interfaces

Final Cut Studio allows you to use a wide variety of video interfaces for capture and
output. The following section shows examples of the most common types of video
interfaces available.

FireWire for DV

You can use the built-in FireWire port on your computer to capture and output to
almost any DV device, including DV, DVCAM, DVCPRO, DVCPRO 50, and DVCPRO HD
devices.

In this configuration, you only need your computer and a supported DV device.
