VCube SE is a bundle including software and video card. The computer hardware must be purchased separately.
VCube SE, XE, and LE only support Virtual Transport as standard
for synchronization and control. An
optional USB/RS-422
adapter is available from Merging Technologies. RS-422, LTC are supported with
the optional Sync Board (PRO Option). The multi frame rate sync
(cross-lock) isn't possible
with VCube SE, XE, and LE.
VCube XE and LE aren't record capable. VCube LE can't
generate any media file.
Midi and Bi-phase
support are future developments
of the Pro option.
