Pinnacle Systems DVTools

The Pinnacle Systems DV200 includes a custom software application called DVTools. This fully featured package contains time saving pre-production features and the most comprehensive DV device control application on the market.

Scene Logging

DVTools has a scan feature that will automatically "watch" a DV tape and log all the scenes on it. This information is used to create a database including the time code of each scene and information text fields for scene names and notes. The first frame of every scene is also stored, creating an easy to use visual reference called a Scene Gallery. One gallery is created for each tape scanned. This allows users to quickly and easily evaluate the scenes on their tape and decide which ones they want to use eliminating hours of wasted time spent manually reviewing tapes.  

Automatic Batch Captures

Scenes from one or more Scene Galleries can be placed in a Capture Gallery using a simple drag and drop operation. Scenes in and out points can be trimmed so only the video you want is captured saving valuable hard disk space. DVTools will then automatically and frame accurately batch capture all of the scenes in the Capture Gallery.

DV Device Control

One of the major advantages of a DV based digital video editing system is that most DV devices can be controlled through the IEEE-1394 DV port. One cable provides digital audio and video transfer and device control!

The Device control application on the DV200 is one of the most fully featured on the market. It provides a preview window and full VCR-style controls for all of the standard controls of the DV device, plus a jog-shuttle controller, frame step, still image capture, scene trims, seeks and more.
