Now shipping: Premiere Pro CS3 Support

The V3HD Windows driver package is now available for download and provides immediate and complete compatibility with Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 (version 3.1 or higher) running on Windows XP or Vista (32).

The V3HD is the first and only video capture/playback solution for Premiere Pro CS3 that provides hardware-accelerated DVCProHD (P2) capture from any HD video input, including HD component or HD-SDI sources. The V3HD dovetails with the new P2 workflow features recently introduced in Premiere Pro CS3, allowing you to immediately play back P2 clips (either imported or ingested) on a variety of SD and HD formats simultaneously, with no transcoding necessary. Conversely, the V3HD allows you to capture any video source, either SD or HD, convert it to DVCProHD in hardware and then capture it directly as a P2 clip in Premiere. The V3HD provides real-time, hardware-accelerated SD-to-HD up conversion for capturing SD sources in P2 format.

The V3HD is also the first and only all-in-one capture/playback solution for Premiere that provides both SD and HD capture over FireWire, allowing you to build a comprehensive, yet compact and portable desktop workstation based on a PC laptop or notebook computer equipped with FireWire, without the need for separate PCI expansion products.

Advanced features include an "Export to Tape" feature that allows you to lay back clips, or an entire project, to a tape deck using the V3HD's extensive machine control features. The V3HD also supports Premiere Pro's Batch Capture features.
