Using proprietary technologies, including Canopus' DV codec and Scalable Technology, DVStorm2 continues its multi-track editing prowess all within a stable PC environment. While existing Canopus DVStorm users can always update their existing hardware with the optional StormEncoder module and a software update,. All drivers from Canopus: c.r.e.a.m. (MTU2400) / EMR100. DVStorm-RT: for Windows 7 / XP 110 Sound Cards: DVX-E1: for Windows 7 / XP.

Hi all, I have a Canopus DVStorm RT that was previously working from a friend's old XP machine. I have a dual boot Win7(x64)/XP(x86) machine which detects the device as a multimedia controller (in both OSes) but cannot find drivers for it. I know that x64 drivers are not available for the device. The device's HardwareID (from both OSes) is 'PCI/VEN_1131&DEV_7146&SUBSYS_00000000&REV_01' which doesn't seem right to me.

Has anyone have experience with this card and can give insight on compatible systems with this card? As for starters my PC is from 2011. Thanks in advance.

Contact Grass Valley Support and see if they can help you find XP drivers. 1) Go to 2) Sign Up and Login 3) Click on Register a Product and fill info, serial number and other info not supposed to be right you can type anything: 4) click on Save 5) Click on View Registered Products and download drivers Drivers supported for XP 32bit Hi roma_turok, I have done so but could only find the 'Canopus DV Driver' (CanopusDVDriver07.zip) which I have already tried multiple times with no luck, whenever I try to uninstall the driver it says that it can't find a compatible device (because the HardwareID doesn't match). Every time this or an earlier driver is installed, the card remains as a 'Multimedia Controller' in unknown devices in Device Manager. Personally I'd use it as a reason to upgrade to a current gen card. Not as much of an issue for you as you dual boot, but driver issues aside, I wouldn't be surprised if there were other software related issues as well once it was installed.

Don't think I could find a current-gen card that captures analog and converts to DV, cards these days capture to MPEG1/2/4 and they take more processing to decode during editing. The main reason for the DVStorm not working was because my motherboard was missing some PCI settings like latency adjustment. Personally I'd use it as a reason to upgrade to a current gen card.

If you can't get your current device to work there is another option, the Canopus ADVC110, which is still being made, captures analog and converts to DV.

It has a FireWire/IEEE 1394 interface, so you would need to install a PCI or PCI-e FireWire card if the PC does not have an existing FireWire port.

Thanks, I have been thinking about the Canopus ADVC series of devices, though the rarity of such devices in my area drives prices up to prohibitive levels as well as buying overseas where shipping costs five times or more than the price of the item.

I have a Matrox RTX card and a few other capture cards coming in, will see if I manage to get them functional.

Maybe I'm wrong here. But I don't think you can use the Canopus 4:2:2 advantage with Vegas and Storm. The codec itself does not compress to 4:2:2. It's pure DV - 4:2:0 or 4:1:1 (PAL/NTSC).

The 4:2:2 advantage only can be used when working with a software which uses the Storm Canopus hardware codec internal when working with filters (for the decoding). Premiere can do this. Lets Edit and Edius can do this.

Vegas cannot use the Storm hardware-codec for decoding. So I think it is no use at all to use the Storm with Vegas.

You will need an additional Canopus software playback codec to be able to read the files so it's even more a disadvantage. The Storm was especially build for Canopus software and Premiere. The biggest advantage of the Storm are the realtime-facilities - again them only work with Premiere and Edius. No way to have an improvement in Vegas using the Storm. Also I'm still a bit sceptical for using the Storm with Vegas at all because I think the Storm is not an OHCI compatible card.
