Utilization for 1394 Camera / Deck connectivity
with Symphony, Media Composer & NewsCutter
Mandatory requirement.
Full height card – does not fit in SFF system
Cannot be used for connectivity to a 1394 Deck / Camera which is
being interfaced to Symphony, Media Composer or NewsCutter
It is alright for this HBA to reside in the system. It will not
cause any functional problem as long as it is not used for
1394 Camera / Deck connectivity for Symphony, Media
Composer or NewsCutter.
Use only external 1394 ports for M/C and N/C 1394
