Hello mike.
Are there any folks out there using the DPS PVR/AD-2500 on an Intel Pentium
machine? Or are we all just speculating?
I Have just finally got my PVR and daughter card working properly with Adobe
Premeire 4.0a.
My current system consists of a Gateway 2000, P5-90 with 32meg of RAM, booting
from 1of 2 540 meg IDE hard drives,an Adaptec 2940 PCI SCSI HD controller, a
1.7gig 2217AV Micropolis HD ( for storing rendered images until I can move them
on to my Barracuda perception drive), an ATI Mach64 Graphics Ultra Pro w2meg
of Vram and a Sound Blaster Awe32 with 2megof ram.
I am presently running version 202 of the Perception windows 3.? drivers and
the system is configured to boot to Dos, Windows 3.11 or Windows NT.
The audio and video syncs perfectly and even loops now. I had a problem with
fades in premeire but have just solved it by setting my super black switch on
in the codec settings dialogue box.
I can tell you I am very happy with the output now and perhaps give you some
other things to watch out for.
I just tried to install the NT software and my system crashed as soon as I
clicked on the perception icon. ………Any Ideas?
also I could not scan with the Genius Colorpage2 connected to my 2940
controller.
I had to get PCI extensions for my PVR card from DPS so I could move it to a
slot and change the SCSI Disk ID # to 0 . This solved the problem.
By the way 3DS will not recognize the built in math coprocessor in a 90mzh
NEXTGEN based board. I know I tried.
Anyway enough said, the thing works fine now under windows 3.11 and I had great
tech support from Gateway, ATI, and Dan at DPS
I hope this helps anyone else trying to solve problems.
