Maybe it would work, if I'd buy one of Apple's current pro video apps...?I checked Apple's Compressor and it still offers it as an export option so at least some connection is still there.

My last is FCS3.Actually I'm not sure...I've had Final Cut Studio 2, 3 or FCP X (renamed FCP) on my Macs since 2005 and I have no idea how they behave with video related stuff without them for the last ~20 years.
My relationship with Final Cut Pro "resolved" after FCP7, but it was good years using that platform going back to 1.0 in, I think, '99? I'm just now remembering what it took to install it on a new machine--it would ask for previous versions of the software on disk, then the license keys for that version, and then ask for an older licensed version--a process of loading disks one after another into the drive until it was satisfied. Boy, we've come a long way on that end.They just changed the name after a bunch of years by dropping the X; no additional money and free upgrades multiple times a year since 2011 (really good ones)...so this was probably the best software deal I've ever had in my own life.
13 years, one price, $300.
To the best of my knowledge:But are you capturing or streaming? Or both?
Short answer: Maybe macOS 11.0.1 (so 2020) - https://support.apple.com/en-us/106396
And it would require testing (Intel/Silicon) as that was the first year for Apple's new chips (gray area).

Long answer: There are different answers to this question and it really depends on your exact configuration.
For software-workflows:
If you'd be relying on traditional digitizing - how it worked with software back then (in that state) - then a lot of that same software that's still around today in its current state won't offer the same (or any) support because of different operating systems and general computing architecture changes (and other specific details I don't know).
DVCPRO HD is not even mentioned in the Apple ProRes white papers anymore which may or may not say something.
For hardware-workflows:
If you're using modern connections at the end of the conversion pipeline (you can get a picture/sound into a computer), it shouldn't make a difference for almost any computer in the last 20 years. If a camera can output a certain resolution and your wires and boxes are all carrying it correctly (or it's scaled preferably), almost anything will be able to read it (or something close to it).

I've connected a handful of 90s and early 2000 cameras to my Macs over the years (recently a MiniDV camera from the early 2000s into a M1 Silicon from a few years ago).
It's all done with a few toys from Amazon and either goes into a BM Video Assist to record or OBS through a HDMI to USB convertor that's set up in OBS as a "Capture Card Device".
And with modern AI algorithms and scaling and all that fun stuff, you can play around with the information that's flowing.
At the end of the day - we always would like the best quality possible but also have to understand that the starting source is not exactly the prettiest (old cameras), so as long as it looks pretty good and it's not squeezed or stretched (unless you want that) then maybe you'll find a way before your event.
I loved Final Cut Studio, I think many did. I was young, like 19, just getting going with Final Cut Express right before I got FCS 2, it was such a magical time for me.My relationship with Final Cut Pro "resolved" after FCP7, but it was good years using that platform going back to 1.0 in, I think, '99?

Have barely ever seen let alone touched the modern version of FCP so it remains a bit of a mystery what and how it does what it does, but I know some people who are fervent fans for sure. I was an early adopter of editing in Resolve (2016) and it has been also enjoyable to see it grow and expand, although there are still some frustrating elements (then again what software is free from those). It has become easier to share and round trip with others as more have adopted that platform over time.I
In hindsight, Apple, per usual, was ahead of its time again.
What they ended up doing with the software in the next decade+ was a privilege to experience and use.
I supervised many telecine transfers using DaVinci (or da Vinci as it was called back then) starting in the 90's. it's amazing to think that those old systems were capable of a tiny fraction of what Resolve is able to do now--and they cost 1/3-1/2 a million, and facilities charged $1000+ an hour for time on them.Did you ever use Resolve before Blackmagic bought it?
It always shipped with their cameras and when many of us started using it in 2012 with their first one (BMCC) to process CinemaDNG it was really clunky.
I already had it saved in my "To save info folders"... along with about thirty years of other now useless info catalogued under anything from Umatics to now. Bit of a hoarder i'm afraid.Why did you just copy and paste it? lol
I don't understand why 11.0.1?To the best of my knowledge:
