Broadcast-Quality Bi-Directional Analog/Digital Video Converter
Engineered to meet the high
standards of professional
broadcast and post production
environments, ADVC700 provides
unmatched quality and reliability
in bidirectional analog/DV conversion, supporting both Windows and Mac OS. An excellent component input/output
solution for any DV interface, the ADVC700 boasts a19” rack-mountable design with component, composite, S-Video, and
balanced and unbalanced audio I/O, RS-422A control, as well as support for LTC timecode and external synchronization.
At the heart of ADVC700 is the acclaimed Canopus DV codec chip, providing unparalleled picture quality preservation
during analog-to-DV conversion, plus locked audio support for perfect audio and video synchronization. It also features
patented PerfectSync technology (see box) to ensure impeccable conversion of every frame, The ADVC700 is easily and
quickly configurable using the LCD front panel display and jog dial.
PerfectSync Technology
The ADVC700, ADVC1000 and ADVC3000 all include patented PerfectSync technology to ensure perfect output synchronization. PerfectSync
controls and synchronizes the transfer rate of IEEE 1394 communication with an external reference signal. This prevents skipped and duplicate
frames and produces perfect conversion of all frames during analog/DV conversion. Many of the current analog/DV converters adjust the output
by skipping and duplicating frames in order to synchronize the DV signal to an external sync signal's frame frequency. In these converters, there
is no guarantee that all input frames will output to DV accurately without frame repetition and frame drops. Since the DVC700/1000/3000 are
primarily designed for studio environments, frame accuracy is essential for accurate offline and online editing. With PerfectSync, this is assured.
ADVC1000
