* AV/DV Deluxe 1 & 2: If the connector closest to the side with the retaining screw on the Studio Deluxe bracket connects to the blue box (bottom connector is the 1394 port), then you have the AV/DV Deluxe 2. If you see you have a reversed bracket layout, in which the side closest to the retaining screw is a 1394 connector (bottom connector is the blue box connector), then you have the older AV/DV Deluxe 1.
