With the Belkin FireWire CardBus, users can now transfer large multimedia files between DV camcorders, music synthesizers, drives, and other peripherals. Users can hot swap FireWire disk drives, scanners, and other devices - up to 63 of them! With the included video editing software (MGI VideoWave III SE and PhotoSuite III SE for the PC version and Strata VideoShop 4.5.1. for the Mac version), the user has the ability to produce videotape presentations, develop interactive training and educational materials, create high quality videos and digital movies, and acquire and edit audio/video content right on their laptop. Then, if the user requires, they can send the finished movie or presentation back to their DV camcorder, VCR, or CD/DVD all in one simple connection. The Belkin FireWire CardBus offers plug-and-play capabilities, which means the user no longer has to shut down or restart their laptop computer to detect new devices.
"We are committed to offering FireWire connectivity solutions for computer users whether they are at home or away from the office," said Mark Freeman, product manager for the FireWire line at Belkin. "The FireWire CardBus Adapter is the perfect complement to our current line of FireWire products," he added.
The Belkin FireWire Cardbus for PCs is available to ship in North America now, while the Mac version will be available in North America in December 2000. MSRP for both is $99.99.
