A DV bridge is a standalone box that converts analog (composite) video to and from Digital Video and will connect to your Firewire port. They come from companies such as Canopus (e.g. ADVC-100). Many camcorders can function as DV Bridges – removing the need to buy separate hardware. The camera must be able to take analog video in and send digital video out at the same time.
