CP Technologie USB 2.0 HIGH SPEED PCI CARD ( CP-U2P-05 )

Product Description

The CP Technologies USB 2.0 Hi-Speed PCI card is a dramatic performance increase over the standard USB 1.1. Whereas USB 1.1 is only 12Mbits/s, the new USB 2.0 Hi-Speed specification used by the CP Technologies USB 2.0 PCI card runs at up to 480Mbits/s.USB, standing for "Universal Serial Bus", allows you to attach up to 128 devices simultaneously with automatic device detection and installation. Since USB 2.0 Hi-Speed is an evolution of the existing USB 1.1 specification, it is fully backward compatible with current USB systems and peripherals. Even with the dramatically increased speeds, it works with existing cables and connectors. In other words, consumers will have the benefit of using devices they already have, so their investments are protected.

Lightning speed.......2007-09-17

What a difference this card made, I used it because I have an external harddrive and it took forever for my programs to pop up from that drive, now it works like an internal drive. Even better, i have 3 more slots for future hardware. Makes everything you plug in run much, much faster. Excellent product at an excellent price.

Disappointing.......2006-07-13

Despite reading about the challenges that others faced when using this product, I went ahead and rolled the dice. I figured that being a more savy computer person would allow me to install the card and not experience any problems.

All I can say is what a piece of junk! Just as others had warned, my computer had problems coming out of sleep mode, and when it did come out it ran slower than my 128K IBM PC Junior. Save yourself the grief and go with another product. For the $30 that I spent on this thing, I've decided to chuck it in the trash and spend my time warning others vs. wasting my time returning this POS!

Disappointing!

Good product for a good price.......2006-02-18

This is a well made PCI card that worked fine with XP plug and play. 2 external ports, one internal. Also has the nine pin male plug in for some add on memory card readers.

If you never plan on adding a new video card to your system, read no further.

Technical Note, Just in case, after adding a new AGP Nvidia 256 meg e-Geforce FX 5500 video card to my system, there was a plug and play error while booting up. I had to move the USB card to another PCI slot to allow XP to reassign IRQs. This prevented the plug and play error from coming up.

So, in my middle level computer geek opinion, if adding a video card after installing this USB card, remove the USB card, install the video card, get it working, then reinstall the USB card.

Great USB 2.0 Card..........2004-03-03

I am running a Intel Celeron 1.0 Ghz custom built PC which only has USB 1.0 built on the motherboard.

Recently, I bought a less expensive USB 2.0 card at a local retailer thinking a usb card is a usb card. I had a horrible time installing it and it never really worked right. When I purchased a Western Digital USB 2.0 External Hard Drive to add to my system is when I found out not all usb cards are created the same. The WD hard drive just would not operate on the cheaper usb 2.0 card. I could not transfer files or write to the drive without getting errors. I thought it was the hard drive but after exchanging it and getting another one only to have the same problem I determined it must be the usb controller.

That is when I searched the net and looked at reviews for the best USB 2.0 card out right now. Every computer magazine website gave this card excellent reviews so I thought I would buy it from Amazon.com and give it a try.

It was very easy to install and I absolutely love the added front USB port which is included in the box and fits in an open 5 1/4 bay. Since I have an older machine I did not have any front usb ports. With this in mind along with the great reviews it has been given the purchase was a no brainer. I believe the NEC drivers which this card uses makes it top notch. I would recommend this card highly.

So Easy.......2004-03-01

This is my first modification on any type of computer. In fact, I did it incorrectly, and it still worked. What I mean is, you are supposed to download the driver (CDROM or online) and then install the card. Windows XP recognized it immediately and it works as advertised at 480 Mbits/sec. If you must know just one important thing about USB 2.0, remember not to unplug the peripheral device when the PC is on. Power down first, then unplug the device, be it printer, digital camera, external HD, or cordless microphone. It could result in a crash and/or data loss (Thanks to Christine for this word of advice).

Couldn't be better!.......2004-01-22

This is a PCI card to add USB to an older computer; 3 slots on the back and one internal--this card included a USB slot in a drive-bay cover, which you can install if you've got a free bay on your PC, connecting it to the internal USB slot with a supplied cord. The card works great on my P3-800 at work, running Windows 2000. Installed without a bit of trouble, and works perfectly. Following the installation directions had me up and running in a few minutes, and the PC recognized the card and loaded the drivers (which I'd put on from the install CD) immediately without a single hitch. Good as it gets!

Nice........2003-08-13

Installed easily. Drivers work well with xp. Updated drivers work even better. Had over 1 year and not a problem yet. UPDATE : I am in year #2 and still working perfectly. Even after being transferred through 2 other computers!

Very pleased with this card.......2003-03-15

Installing the card was easy, although I had to download drivers for my Win98se machine and reboot a couple of times. After installing the drivers my computer detected the card with no trouble. Now it works seamlessly.

For anyone wondering (as I was), the bonus front bay port advertised on the Orange Micro site was included. It fits 5.5-inch bays. I didn't have a large bay free, but was able to adapt the cable to work with a 3.5-inch bay with a screwdriver, drill, and my existing bay cover. (A Dremel would have made the modifications easier, but all's well that ends well.) Now I have four additional rear USB ports and one easily-accessible front port, exactly what I wanted when I bought the card.

Product Description

Panasonic has added Leica optics to its PV-DV852 Palmcorder digital camcorder. It uses a 1-megapixel CCD and a 2.5-inch LCD for maximum color quality. This model sports a Leica Dicomar lens with 10X zoom power. The PV-DV852 also features optical image stabilization, which avoids the image degradation of electronic stabilizers; an MPEG-4 video-clip feature for easy transfers of footage on the Web; and a Progressive PhotoShot mode that enhances still-image sharpness. In addition to capturing video on MiniDV tapes, the camcorder uses SD memory cards to store still shots, voice recordings, and Web-quality video.

Amazon.com Product Description

The PV-DV852 will appeal to amateur filmmakers and home-video enthusiasts alike because of its unique combination of features and performance. The a large 2.5-inch LCD screen and color viewfinder make things easy to see, and your shooting experience is enhanced by a 10x optical zoom, digital still capability, and a zoom mic that automatically magnifies sensitivity as you zoom in. You can also record MPEG4 movies for Internet sharing and e-mail.

Lens
With a lens developed by world-renowned lens maker Leica AG, the DV852 has an optical zoom magnification of 10x along with a 200x digital zoom, which works by electronically enhancing the optical image. The optical image stabilization system keeps the picture steady and solid throughout zooms and camera shakes without compromising picture quality.

Digital Stills
The camcorder has a mode called progressive photo shoot, so that images captured will not have the jagged lines of interlaced video and instead come out clear and undistorted. You can store the stills on DV tape or on the included 8 MB Secure Digital card (the DV852 is also compatible with MultiMediaCards). The convenient pop-up flash unit comes in handy for low-light environments.

Inputs and Outputs
The DV852 comes with the standard DV IEEE 1394 port (also called FireWire) for no-loss connections to PCs or other DV machines. By using the USB port or RS-232C serial connection, you can easily transfer your digital stills. RCA connections are used for direct viewing on a television or for VHS dubbing.

MiniDV Format
MiniDV digital technology delivers clear, sharp video with up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution--far superior to the 240 lines of resolution offered by 8mm camcorders. You'll get minimal color noise interference for a more stable picture. You'll also get excellent sound quality in either 12-bit or 16-bit audio recording modes.

16-bit audio includes one set of stereo audio tracks to produce CD-quality sound.
12-bit audio utilizes two sets of audio tracks so you can easily add background music or commentary to your videos while maintaining the existing soundtrack.

This is all delivered on a cassette that's 1/12 the size of a standard VHS tape. A MiniDV tape offers digital recording time of two full hours--20 times the capacity of a CD.

About 43mm filter.......2003-11-14

Just to correct previous reviewer: how to attach 43mm filter or add-on lens (from the manual):
"When you want to attach a Tele Conversion Lens (not supplied) or a Wide Conversion Lens (not supplied), be sure to first remove the lens Hood by turning it counterclockwise."
I removed lens Hoood, attached 43mm filter and putted Hood back.

Good picture but read on.......2003-02-10

We bought this in a store where they had scores of camera plugged in and you could scan around with all of them. This one consistently had the most natural color and exposure... even better than some very expensive ones (of course you can't always say what adjustments have been goofed up on some of the display cameras) After using the camera for a week or so we find that that indoors the video is nearly on a par with broadcast quality. You would never suspect is was a home video. It's very clean and properly exposed. Low light performance is also very good if you employ the Magicpix digital effect.

Outdoors it is also quite good but, being a bit more challenging, you might be able to tell it's not the travel channel you're watching (but it's still very good)

Now here's the bad news.
The optical image stbilizer is OK but you do stil have to be very careful to get good video. It does not iron out the bigger shakes like the electronic ones do. So I am not so thrilled with the stabilizer.

Still pictures, if you care, are good 1M pics but nothing more. They are useful.

Surprise! The lens is mismarked and will not accept 43mm filters or auxiliary lenses. In fact it won't accept ANY filters because it is 50mm (not 49 and not 52) and therefore non-standard. So you can forget about getting a wide angle lens for it. This is a problem for us... No polarizer, no wide angle lense. So, at this point we are not sure we'll keep the camera.. even though we have been favorably impresed with the basic quality.
