Where to use it?
Boards of the miroVIDEO DC30 series convert video into a computer-
understandable format by digitizing video sequences to uncompressed or
Motion-JPEG compressed data files. The video sequences can then be edited
on the computer and output in good to very good S-VHS quality to a VCR,
television, or computer monitor. The higher the quality of the video input and
the higher the computer’s data transfer rate, the better the output quality of the
video image.
The miroVIDEO DC30 series’video post-production recording capabilities
combined with video editing software, Adobe Premiere, provide a complete
video studio plus cutting table on your desktop.
The miroVIDEO DC30 series’capabilities result from optimally integrated
hardware and software.
System components
Hardware
The miroVIDEO DC30 series hardware is a state-of-the-art PCI video digitizer.

Before You Begin 5
Before you begin
This chapter tells you which computer system components are required for the
operation of the miroVIDEO DC30 series, which devices you can connect to
the board, and what is included in the miroVIDEO DC30 series package
contents.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Please make sure your system meets the following requirements before
installing the miroVIDEO DC30 series:
Hardware
Computer:
Pentium computer (recommended: Pentium 200 MHz or higher) with an empty
master bus PCI slot.
Memory
Windows 95/98
At least 32 MB, recommended 64 MB.
Windows NT / Windows 2000
64 MB or more.
Hard disk
Hard disk with a sufficiently high data transfer rate and enough capacity. For
more details, read the following:
•Data transfer rate
The higher the desired video quality, the higher the required data transfer
rate of the hard disk. For S-Video quality 2 MB/sec of data has to be
transferred, for high S-Video quality approximately 3-4 MB/sec. The
miroVIDEO DC30 is capable of digitizing a maximum data rate of 6
MB/sec, the miroVIDEO DC30 SPEED / plus is capable of digitizing a
maximum data rate of 7 MB/sec. The data transfer rate of your hard disk has
to be approximately 50% higher than the data rate for video capturing.
•Hard disk capacity:
For capturing video, you need a hard disk with sufficient capacity. When
capturing, for example, S-Video approximately 120-200 MB per minute
have to be saved.

6
miroVIDEO DC30 Series User´s Guide
To accelerate capturing and playing back a large amount of data, we
recommend that you defragment your hard disk before capturing/playing back
video. Under Windows 95 / 98 you will find a defragmentation utility under
Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Defragmenter. If you use
miroVIDEO DC30 series under Windows NT, use a tool you can obtain from
