IEEE 1394 FireWire port.

standard for desktop digital video, so it's designed to work alongside
other popular applications and mesh with your workflow. Edit and composite
your DV footage in leading applications like Digital Origin EditDV,

Proven IEEE
1394 Firewire Solution
Digital Origin's IEEE 1394 Firewire interface supports more DV camcorders
and they maintain the most comprehensive compatibility database of anyone
in the digital video industry. Digital Origin earned this leadership
by building the largest installed base of IEEE 1394 users and performing
the most comprehensive in-house compatibility testing.
DV Capture
The MotoDV capture application transfers digital video from your
DV device in full resolution (720 x 480 for NTSC, 720 x 576 for PAL)
and in full-motion (60 fields per second for NTSC, 50 fields per second
for PAL) to your hard drive. As clips are being captured, they are converted
to QuickTime movies, complete with a separate audio track. Clips may
be captured as real-time movies or as time-lapse movies. Supports 4:3
and 16:9 widescreen aspect ratios as well.
DV Player
In addition to playing back your captured clips in software, MotoDV’s
DV Player allows you to export DV over the IEEE1394 connection for playback
and recording of full motion digital video to your DV camcorder or VCR.
Software Codec
for DV
MotoDV includes Digital Origin’s software codec for DV. The advanced
video architecture (AVA) is the high-performance, high-quality software
codec engine that allows you to render your effects, titles, 3D graphics
and transitions to the DV format and play them back on your computer.
The beauty of software-based codecs is that as processor speeds increase,
rendering times decrease and software playback performance improves.
Audio
MotoDV supports locked and unlocked audio so you can work with a
variety of formats including DV, DVCAM and DVCPRO.
