Inside

If you look at the guts of the Video Editor, you'll notice that it consists of two superimposed PCBs; one for audio (the Audigy 2ZS card), the other for video. In the middle of the video PCB sits the LSI Logic DMN-8102 processor (complete with its two memory chips), which provides the all-important video processing. This circuit includes an IEEE1394 interface for connection to a DV camcorder.
