Firewire and DeckLink Studio 2

Did a search on firewire. Didn't find my answer.

Using a Decklink Studio 2 card with the Breakout cable on a PC (Windows 7). The church I attend records events on cameras that have firewire outputs. I want to capture the footage from a camera's tape and edit in Premier Pro CS6. Neither the card nor the breakout cable allows me to plug in a firewire cable directly. The breakout cable has just about every other kind of connector. Is there an adapter of some sort that will enable me to connect the firewire cable to the audio and video connectors on the breakout cable or to the other inputs on the card?

You connect your camera´s firewire port straight to your computer´s firewire port. No need for additional devices in between those two.

Like klaustrofobia allready wrote: You don't need special hardware to capture Firewire/DV/IEEE1394 - but Decklink can't (don't capture analog, if you can caputure digital....).

If your PC don't have a firewire-port, buy a cheep simple card for it. Firewire has two different, but electrical compatible connectors: 4-pin and 6-pin. You only need a matching cable - not expensive.

Thanks for the advice. I ordered a pci firewire card with a Texas Instruments chipset.
