As well as the expected composite and S-video connections, it offers component video in/out. Analogue audio input is stereo, via two RCA phonos, and five audio output (phonos, again) are provided for surround-sound monitoring. There are in/out sockets for optical audio, along with a single six-pin FireWire port and a headphone socket.

What could be said to be missing is balanced audio support but we wouldn’t feel hard done-by given the price of the package. We connected the box to a USB 2. Halo 4 Xbox 360 Iso Torrent. 0 port on our test PC – that’s the only link required – and found that it installed easily along with the Liquid Edition 6 software. The Pro box has plenty of sockets, including component in/out and 5.1 output Our first captures were of DV fed into the box's FireWire port and worked well - five sessions, each of 30 minutes, with no dropped frames. But, initially, playback was a very different story.

Whether using composite or S-video outputs, playback became slow and choppy – dropping to between six and eight frames per second. But, switching to output from the PC’s own FireWire port and feeding the signal to our DV deck gave us the fluid playback of clips. Something was wrong when going out via USB 2 through the Pro hardware. Looking for causes, we checked some spec sheets on Pinnacle's website, and found a list of approved and incompatible USB 2.0 chipsets – missing the fact that our motherboard’s chipset (an Nvidia nForce2) was listed as approved!

So, we installed the only USB 2.0 PCI card on the recommended list, Adaptec's AUA-3100LP (be warned, Adaptec’s AUA-5100 is said to be incompatible) – only to find that playback through analogue channels was somewhat worse. Video speed had increased slightly, now approaching a normal frame rate, but it was erratic, with broken audio. And the image displayed on our connected TV set was almost entirely black with only a thin band of flickering picture at the top. Advice on Pinnacle's forums suggested we should disable the motherboard’s USB ports, since they might be conflicting with those on the Adaptec card - but the situation didn't improve after we’d done that. Then we alighted on another list of compatible and incompatible hardware - for graphics cards. LE Pro 6 needs a graphics card compatible with DirectX 9. Fifa 09 Highly Compressed Pc on this page. 0c. It's a fundamental requirement.

It’s also the reason why users of the Pro 5 combi card will have to replace it if buying the Edition Pro 6 box. Our PC’s Nvidia FX5600 card didn’t appear on the list, but a couple of relatively cheap cards did – the FX5700, and ATI’s Radeon 9600 – and Paul Dutton who bestrides DVdoctor and HEXUS.net (which can’t be easy for someone who’s even smaller than myself) just happened to have a spare 128MByte ATI Radeon 9600 Pro All In Wonder card about his person. With this installed in place of the FX5600, the problem was banished whether using the Adaptec card or the motherboard’s USB 2.0 chipset – so we pulled out the Adaptec to save it for a rainy day. Analogue video capture via S-video worked well, even while there was a feed going out to a connected TV set for monitoring.
