Xpress Pro using Pinnacle capture card

Reply Contact

Background:

Changed from Pinnacle 8 DV to Avid Xpress Pro several years ago. Uninstalled Pinnacle.
Kept Pinnacle capture card, worked fine in Avid
Having new computer built to handle P2 media. Salvaged Pinnacle firewire capture card from old computer
Computer technician has asked for Pinnacle driver for capture card. Pinnacle installation discs misplaced or lost.

Questions:

Do I need a driver to use the Pinnacle card for Avid in my new computer?
If so, any ideas how I can get the card to work?
Where can I find a driver?
Do I need to get an entirely different capture card?

Thanks,

Mark.

I'm not familiar with that specific card, however, Xpress Pro will recognize any OHCI compliant 1394 Firewire card. If that is what your card is, it does not even require drivers in Windows.
