Description of FireWire ESPADA PCIe1394a controller

The Espada PCIe1394a controller is a model that, by installing it, will allow you to connect devices equipped with the IEEE 1394 interface. The controller can be installed in any computer that has a free PCI-E slot. The operation of IEEE 1394 devices will occur at the hardware level (as opposed to using adapters). You will be able to use digital video cameras, cameras, external drives and other equipment equipped with this interface. The Espada PCIe1394a controller is universal: it has both IEEE 1394 6-pin ports (2 external and 1 internal) and an external IEEE 1394 4-pin port. The functionality...

Another card came, not the same as in the photo, with a 4 pin molex power connector Has some pros: Comes with IEEE1394a 6p - 4p cable. It turned out to be very handy, because my old one was non-working Got cons: Until it was possible to capture the signal from the camera in HDV quality, it only accepts material shot in SD resolution, the Canon HV20 camera

The product is not good, I will not buy any more.

I bought this controller in order to connect the sound. FireStudio Mobile card. Bought, installed, started to connect. The drivers were installed immediately, but the sound. the card was not detected by the system at all, even as an unknown device. As a result, I scored on the connection, turned off everything, and the controller itself decided to leave it, you never know if it will ever be needed. As a result, literally a day passes, I watch . ether and then suddenly the computer turns off…

Pros
  • What can be the advantages of a part that can break your system?
Cons
  • "Karatnul" after two days of use.

The goods are normal, money is not wasted!

Even though the iron is of high quality, there are no drivers available for Windows. Because Kino can unexpectedly close down at any time, you need to keep a close eye on the progress of the procedure. Got pros: It functions quite well when using Ubuntu. After installing Kino and adding myself to the video group, I found that everything was functioning well. Con: There are no drivers available, and there will be none made available, for Windows 8.X or Windows 10.X. It is not compatible with…

The product suited me, I will recommend it to my friends.

This is not the type of payment I requested. See the picture, what happened. There was already an internal port set up, and that's fine for me.

Pros
  • The board arrived undamaged and was immediately functional with Windows 10.
Cons
  • Because the ports are on opposite sides of the bar, you can only use the one on the inside.

Good value for money, I recommend it.

What I ordered has not been paid. How did you see the picture? There was an internal port accessible, and because it serves my needs well enough, I won't change it.

Pros
  • The board arrived safely and began operating on Windows 10 right out of the box.
Cons
  • Only the internal port is accessible because the ports were set up across the bar.

The product is completely satisfied, performs its functions.

The sum is different from what I requested. See the picture, what happened. There was already an internal port set up, so I have no plans to alter it.

Pros
  • We received the board unscathed, and it installed and ran perfectly under Windows 10.
Cons
  • Due to their positioning across the bar, the external ports are inaccessible.

A good product, I advise you to try it.

My order did not include this type of payment. What happened, look at the picture. There was access to an internal port, and considering that this is sufficient for my needs, I will not alter it.

Pros
  • The board was packaged securely and immediately functioned properly on Windows 10 after being installed.
Cons
  • Because the ports are located on opposite sides of the bar, only the port on the inside can be accessed.

Even though the iron is of high quality, there are no drivers available for Windows. Because Kino can unexpectedly close down at any time, you need to keep a close eye on the progress of the procedure. The software runs quite smoothly under Ubuntu. After installing Kino and adding myself to the video group, I found that everything was functioning well. Its cons: There are no drivers available for Windows 8. X or Windows 10. X, and there will never be any. It is not compatible with mATX…

All is well, liked the product, didn't buy it for nothing.

Even though the iron is of high quality, there are no drivers available for Windows.

Good product, I recommend that you try it.

The piece of iron is good, but there are no drivers for Windows. Sometimes Kino crashes, so you need to keep an eye on that the process goes smoothly. Some pros: It works great under Ubuntu. I installed Kino, added myself to the video group and it all worked. Got cons: There are no and will not be drivers for Windows 8. X and Windows 10. X. Due to the dual-slot video card, it does not fit into mATX motherboards.

A practical product, nothing to complain about.

Another card arrived, which was different from the one pictured and featured a 4-pin molex power connector. Has some pros: Included in the package is an IEEE1394a 6p - 4p cable. Given that my previous one had stopped functioning, I found that it came in extremely handy. With these drawbacks: It will only take content shot with a camera that has a standard definition resolution, such as the Canon HV20, until it is possible to capture the signal from the camera in HDV quality.

Its cons: It will only take content shot with a camera that has a resolution of Standard Definition (SD), which is the Canon HV20, until it is feasible to capture the signal from the camera in HDV quality.
