Canopus DV converter
Canopus today announced , a portable and easy-to-use external bidirectional analog/digital video converter that features FireWire bus-powered operation and audio-only conversion capabilities. ADVC110 easily connects VHS, Hi8 and other analog video equipment to all DV cameras, decks and editing systems and can be used for capture and output of S-Video and composite analog video from FireWire-equipped notebook or desktop computers.
The bus-powered device does not require software drivers, features Canopus's DV hardware codec technology, supports locked audio when converting from analog to digital video (for audio and video synchronization), and allows for conversion of analog audio signals alone, so users can easily record from any analog audio component without requiring a video source.
In addition to supporting all popular DV and analog video equipment, ADVC110 is compatible with leading editing and DVD authoring applications, including Canopus EDIUS, Canopus Let's EDIT, Apple Final Cut Pro and iLife, Avid Xpress DV, and more. It supports NTSC, PAL and SECAM standards and will be available for $320 on July 22, 2004 from Canopus and its authorized resellers.
