That’s for Final Cut Pro on the MAC platform.

Premiere Pro can use either AVI or Quicktime versions – however, I think AfterEffects will only support Blackmagic Quicktime.

Sorry, I don’t believe the DV codecs are supported yet in Premiere Pro on Windows.

It should work with the 4.8 drivers or later. I don’t have a varicam to try so I can’t verify.

What model motherboard are you using?

If you mean at the same time, in the same computer, no.

That is a topic of debate. I too feel that DV looks better when edited uncompressed. The keys, compositing, and graphics added while editing are cleaner when you are working with uncompressed – and you don’t lose a generation re-rendering like you would working in the lossy Apple DV codec.
There is a helpful site that compares codecs:

You can see how each holds up render after render. Look at generation 10 Apple DV! Yuck!

Decklink requires at least a 64 bit PCI 33/66 slot. Desktop motherboards such as the Dell desktop systems WILL NOT WORK because they have standard 32 bit PCI slots. You need a “workstation” class machine. You do not have to have a Dual Xeon machine to do standard def, you can use a Supermicro P4SCT+II.

You’d need a deck such as the Sony DSR-1500A which is about $5750 and an DSBK-1501 SDI option board for $1099.
SDI uses 75 ohm BNC cables – they are about $13.00 each for 6 feet length.
You need a computer that supports 64 bit PCI-X slots. The Dell XPS you mention does not have this, so you couldn’t use Decklink on that machine. You’d need to get a Dell Precision “workstation” class machine or a similar motherboard with at least 2 gb of RAM and a striped RAID of at least 2 SATA or SCSI discs.

No. You need a “server” type board with 64 bit PCI-X slots.
