I bought this many years ago but didn't use it - it's just been moved around from shelf to shelf in my shop. My video abilities were challenged to be honest so the console is still in pristine condition. Can it be used with today's equipment ?? - I can't say -- but probably worth a try. It plugs in using USB and it comes with the program and content disks designed for Windows 98 to 2000 to ME. The console has buttons and fade in - out and a really cool joy stick and a forward and rewind / search dial. So the unit comes with the Console, books, disks and USB cord. So there you go - maybe you can use it. Thanks
