DV Master from FAST is the first professional DV editing system. The built-in SONY hardware CoDec ensures real-time data accessing. DV Master's interface i.LINK (FireWire) guarantees loss-less transmission at top speed.  
Just one cable for transferring video, sound, and device control signals. Plus an external connection box for easy cable connections and component output. And DV Master is complete with an extensive bundle of editing software that leaves nothing to be desired.  
DV Master has set a new standard: total performance, total quality, total flexibility providing absolute ease of editing. For video studios, advertising agencies, corporate and serious hobbyists, DV Master: the solution for people who can't afford to make compromises.
 
DV Master is pure performance.
DV Master is the first board incorporating the DVBK-1 hardware CoDec from SONY - the same technology used for the encoding of videos in DV camcorders. The hardware CoDec allows DV encoding and decoding to be performed in real-time. So you get faster results.
 
The second performance asset that comes with the hardware CoDec is live video display during "capture," as well as at any time during the editing process*. Get creative, scrub in the timeline, trim and preview full-screen, full-motion on video and computer monitors. Know what your video will look like, real-time, full screen.
 
DV Master is pure quality.
DV Master has the interface of the future: i.LINK (IEEE 1394). For loss-less transfer to and from DV equipment. DV Master maintains the full DV quality throughout the entire post production process right through to the master tape, and does all the processing in the DV format. And the result: videos in broadcast quality.
 
Together with the video, you need great audio in CD quality: digital stereo audio according to DV specifications (four 32-kHz channels or two 48-kHz channels). Also available is analog audio processing in WAV format with 16-bit stereo, also in CD quality (up to 44.1 kHz). Thanks to hardware AV locking, the audio is always lip-synced with the video for perfect videotape dubbing.
 
DV is pure flexibility.
Flexibility - the key word in video production. FAST wants to make your job easier. To make sure DV doesn't leave you stranded, DV Master can convert analog video material (VHS/8MM/S-VHS/Hi-8). And vice versa, DV can produce analog video output - even in the professional YUV component format (YCbCr). So DV Master integrates digital video seamlessly into the studio environment.
 
We even designed a desktop I/O box to make configuring your system easy. All of your analog connections are in one place. Connecting your DV device is simple with a choice of three software switchable FireWire ports. A single cable transfers video, sounds, and the control signals for the DV devices. You can't get it easier than that!
 
DV Master is pure editing.
Selecting material and clip logging are fast and easy to manage. DV Master maintains precise control of the DV devices via the i.LINK (FireWire) interface. Only sequences that you want to edit are stored in real time on the hard disk - saving time and disk space.
 
Only solutions that use a hardware CoDec and i.LINK (FireWire) interface, like DV Master, provide the quality you need for professional applications. DV Master guarantees optimum performance and productivity.
