Yeah it's a standard PC with the Newtek board and a number of ribbons going to the front panel I/O connectors but it does a great job.
Another cap card I've used is the Pinnicle Systems Targa-2000Pro. It's a really old PCI based capcard that only runs under NT4 with SP3 or higher, no Win2K. It will capture betacam/MII, composite/VSHS and audio and do realtime mjpg2 compression (or AVI) doing 4:2:2. It's bandwidth intensive and will saturate UW-SCSI running flat out and will run native in Premier. Card came out in the late 90's and I actually went to their school to learn how to use it. There's also a straight 2000 and the lower end 1000 card but I don't recall all of the differences other than the Pro has a piggyback buffer memory card and real TBC which can be set to remove any and all info in the vertical blanking.
