Overview
:

The
Digital Video Machine is a studio quality MPEG-2 player
with all the interfaces AV contractors need for professional
installations. The
Digital Video Machine stores its videos on Compact Flash
cards, so playback is virtually instantaneous. You can
copy clips to the media or transfer them using the Ethernet
option.
It
can be controlled either using the serial port or using
Ethernet (Ethernet requires the DVM-7400/E model).
