Overview

Add two IEEE1394b ports and one IEEE1394a port to your PC

    Part in stock and installed straight away

    I needed a PCI card for a FireWire connection, and LDLC made this solution possible for me in 2 days. Well done, and all with great customer service.

    Additional equipment

    I had a PC built, but it lacked the necessary components to transfer videos from a camcorder. LDLC took care of the assembly.
    I am satisfied with the work and the equipment.
    A reputable company that I would recommend.

    Nickel Chrome

    Excellent product, does exactly what you expect.
    Recognised without any worries (W10), usable immediately.
    No problems after 20 mini DV's scanned, the software supplied is a bit old fashioned, but covers the needs flawlessly.
    A bit of time to spend to organize the video fragments, but that's normal. If your need is like mine to save old DV tapes without hassle, this is the right PCI E card!

    Good IEEE1394 FireWire expansion card

    For a peripheral, I needed a FireWire 400 port which does not exist on my motherboard. This controller card allows me to use this device, but I don't need the FireWire 800 ports, which I think are too many.
