Pinnacle Systems TARGA 3000
exceptionally difficult for Pinnacle Systems to support systems that we do not physically
have in Technical Support.
Although you may have had a successful experience in configuring a video system
yourself, we strongly discourage you from attempting to do so with a TARGA 3000. It is a
better choice to rely upon your Pinnacle Systems Authorized Value Added Reseller to
configure a system for you. For a list of Authorized Value Added Resellers and certified
TARGA 3000 system configurations, see the Customer Support section of the Pinnacle
Systems web site at: http://www.pinnaclesys.com
TARGA 3000 system recommendations are as follows:
• Pinnacle Systems certified pre-configured workstation (with workstation monitor, keyboard,
mouse, and cables for these items)
• TARGA 3000 Pro Analog or Pro Digital Breakout Box
• One or more VTRs (preferably IEEE-1394 or SDI SMPTE 259M compatible)
• Analog video monitor
• Speakers
• Cables for connecting your deck, analog video monitor, and speakers
Your VTR should be the highest practical quality. To take advantage of the capabilities of
TARGA 3000, we recommend a deck with component-level outputs, although the
TARGA 3000 does accept S-Video and Composite Video. Also, a deck with RS-422 for
device control lets you control it from within Premiere v5.1 or greater.
Note: For the latest information on what versions of Adobe Premiere or other non-linear editing
software can be used, check the online compatibility guide at http://www.pinnaclesys.com
