Other sources had it for around $400...
It works fine. I have used it with DPS-Spark and Canopus
systems - the Canopus could capture analogue, but the
Spark software (version 2.00 software, the only version
we have been able to use without problems otherwise)
will not capture analogue, but adding DV-Deck version
2.00 (hmmm...;-) solved that problem.
