Pinnacle NLE Software
Liquid Edition and Liquid Edition Pro

Pinnacle Liquid Edition was developed from Fast's Purple, which was designed from the ground up to handle digital content as well or better than any other desktop video editing system. Powerful video capture and logging tools, and the ability to adjust audio input levels during capture are just a few of the features that make Pinnacle Edition DV the professional's choice for video production. Uses DV I/O over 1394 firewire.

Pinnacle Liquid Edition Pro has all the features of Liquid Edition plus a special combined AGP graphics + 1394 firewire card which also connects to the AV breakout box for capture and playout to analogue devices.

Alternatively you can use a stand-alone 1394<>Analogue converter, like those from Datavideo
