14943 Vincent 601 PCI Card
Posted by: fsmith2003 on 2023-12-01 17:05:32 Came across a card today that I believe is out of a PowerMac G3. It is labeled with 14943 Vincent 601. What exactly is this card used for?

Posted by: fsmith2003 on 2023-12-03 20:31:57 Media 100 video capture card first PCI edition called vincent601. I assume some sort of breakout box would then connect to this externally?
Posted by: Unknown_K on 2023-12-03 23:07:35 Breakout box, custom software, and dongles to enable features (early software uses adb dongle(s) same as nubus version I believe).
Posted by: Phipli on 2023-12-03 23:08:56 Yeah, from an Avid setup. High end video workstation stuff like Unknown_K said.
Posted by: Unknown_K on 2023-12-04 00:42:39 Not AVID, this was Media 100 before they got purchased later on. Their Nubus capture cards and software were top notch.

Posted by: Unknown_K on 2023-12-04 01:56:04 They could have ended up that way, but they didn't start as an AVID card. Most video editing companies were bought out at some point leaving only a few players.
Posted by: jovianartifact on 2024-01-04 09:40:33 I picked up a lot a few summers ago that included a couple of Sawteeth, a couple UPS units, a whole bunch of Lacie D2s, and a TON of A/V equipment that includes some Vincent cards and some kind of Media100 breakout. I guess it belonged to an ad agency in my state before changing hands because when I sifted through the Lacies that still spin up, there were a whole bunch of project files for ads I remember seeing on TV for local businesses. I'll try to remember to take pictures sometime for you A/V geeks that might recognize some of these relics.
