Supporting Windows and Mac OS, ADVC300 is compatible with all widely used video editing applications including Canopus EDIUS, Final Cut Pro®, Avid Xpress® DV and Adobe® Premiere® Pro.

Bi-directional Analog / Digital Video Conversion

Convert VHS, S-VHS and Hi8 analog videotapes to DV and back in one

simple step

deal for capturing and exporting analog video from leading video editing and DVD authoring applications for Windows and Mac OS

ADVC300 can be used as a stand-alone bi-directional analog / digital video converter without needing a computer

ADVC300 is compatible with all widely used DV and analog cameras and

decks. High-quality component video output is ideal for monitoring video using a broadcast monitor

Intelligent Input/Output

ADVC300's intelligent usability allows for easy setup and connection in any video environment. Front and back I/O connectors provide analog and DV signal pass-through and ensure that connecting cables is neat and simple.

ADVC300 features color bar reference signal output and advanced analog input control software for adjusting brightness, contrast, saturation, hue and sharpness.

Proven DV codec Technology

At the heart of the ADVC300 is Canopus's proprietary DV codec chip providing the industry's best picture quality preservation during analog-to-DV and DV-to-analog conversion.

Clean, stabilize and preserve analog video

ADVC300 employs advanced 3D Y/C separation, 3D noise reduction and Line Time Base Correction (LTBC) functions for perfect frame synchronization. Poor analog source video is filtered and stabilized prior to DV conversion. ADVC300 is also ideal for �cleaning� old analog video and output back to analog tape.

Advanced image enhancement features

2D/3D Y/C separation � Separates the Y/C (S-Video) signal to RGB using chronological information between signals (applicable for NTSC only)

Digital 3D noise reduction � Eliminates noise in the analog video signal by detecting noise based on the characteristics

Digital 3D frame synchronizer � Stores incoming signals into a frame buffer to supply a stable, synchronized signal to the DV encoder chip

Digital Line Time Base Corrector (LTBC) � Detects images with strong horizontal

jitter and employs powerful correction methods to repair the jitter

Digital Auto Gain Control (AGC) � Automatically adjusts the input video level

for a clearer picture

Locked Audio Support

Other converters can lose audio/video sync when converting longer segments of video. ADVC300 supports locked audio when converting from analog to digital, assuring perfect audio and video synchronization.

Long product life

The broadest video equipment and editing software compatibility ensures ADVC300 provides a long product life and a high return on investment.
