DC30 Xact Driver 1.6.2

The DC30/DC30plus is now a real-time card, with scaled and windowed HD support, using the powerful RT Extreme Booster, the unique feature that, for the first time ever, extends the real-time power of Final Cut Pro HD to MJPEG and other formats, and works also in your PowerBook for offline editing. And the DC30/DC30plus, now can deliver professional, uncompressed video; with the included LOSSLESS 4:2:2 codec, it can be stored efficiently, saving 50% of your disk space. This driver also enables high-quality FireWire capture of MJPEG and LOSSLESS movies, even in a PowerBook or where the DC30/DC30plus is not installed. These movies can be used later with the DC30/DC30plus, together with DV, DVCPRO50, DVCPRO HD movies.

Please note that DC30 Xact Driver 1.6.1 is not yet compatible with Final Cut Pro 5.

This software requires a Power Macintosh G4 with Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) or 10.3 (Panther) or 10.4 (Tiger), and works with miroMOTION DC30 and DC30plus, enabling PAL/NTSC/SECAM video input and PAL/NTSC video output. It enables audio input and output as well, with Core Audio (Mac OS X native) support. Audio is locked, so it is always synchronized with video, even in very long movies.

This driver is very stable, and works well even with slower Power Macintosh G4 computers, giving high-quality MJPEG-A and professional uncompressed digital video editing with Apple Final Cut Pro 3, 4, 4.5, and Adobe Premiere 6.5. RT Extreme feature of Final Cut Pro HD is supported and improved.

With the Multicodec feature, this driver greatly extends DC30 series capabilities in faster G4 computers, with video output support for almost every movie compression supported by QuickTime, within QuickTime Player, Final Cut Pro, Premiere, Free DV, ProTools, Logic, iMovie... and Finder columns!

You will be able to capture video with Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, and video capture applications like myVCR (www.dplusplus.com) which is in development, and BTV which is shareware.

This driver supports video output from the free VLC Media Player (www.videolan.org/vlc), allowing DVD media content to appear on your PAL/NTSC monitor! This feature works in every G4 computer equipped with a DVD-ROM unit, and with a DC30/DC30plus connected to a 4:3 or 16:9 TV monitor, but the full DVD frame rate and quality can be reached only with two fast G4 processors.

The driver also supports video output from iTunes Visualizer: you can watch your music on your TV. Some video output support for DVD Studio Pro has been added, too.
