The PCI DVk was originally designed for simpler connectivity with Redlake (Formerly Kodak) MEGAPLUS series cameras that had 68-pin cabling. With these cameras, you can use a standard 68-68 straight-through cable or even a standard SCSI cable to connect to the PCI DVK. Some cables are available to connect the PCI DVK to other camera types, but in general, the PCI DV or PCI DVa is recommended for cameras other than Kodak/Redlake 68-pin AIA. As for the PCI DV/DVa — the PCI DVa is simply a newer, faster (66Mhz capable), less expensive version of the PCI DV. NOTE: The PCI RCI and PCI DV FOX/RCX (remote fiber optic) modules have 68-pin connectors. Software written for any EDT Digitial Video board will work with the others with little or no modification.
