KEY FEATURES
Innovative DV technologies from Canopus provide the best picture quality preservation SDI and DV I/O - Digital audio I/O (AES/EBU) – Reference input Analog video and unbalanced audio output (for monitor preview) Quick configuration using front panel controls Front LCD panel for status and settings display 9-pin serial port (AV/C-RS422 command convert function) Half 1U 19-inch rackmount design NTSC and PAL compatible Windows and Mac OS compatible Perfect Signal Synchronization: Canopus "PerfectSync" (patent pending) Canopus has realized perfect signal synchronization output with an external reference signal (house sync) for Windows* and Mac OS based DV-to-SDI conversion. ADVC1000 features original technology to control and synchronize 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 DV-to-SDI conversion. Read more about Perfect Signal Synchronization. * For NTSC video conversion using Windows 2000, PerfectSync operation cannot be guaranteed due to a limitation of the operating system VTR Control by AV/C-RS422 Conversion ADVC1000 converts DV device control signals to RS422, to control an external VTR. Such control makes it possible to take in data from professional VTRs such as Digital Betacam from any standard DV editing software that features DV device control. Professional Video System Input Reference input and LTC input/output can be utilized to create a professional video editing system with editors or switchers. Reference Input LTC input/output Reciprocal TC conversions (LTC, VITC, DV TC) Four-channel Embedded Audio Support SDI supports up to four channels of embedded audio. It transfers professional level video/audio signals and can connect to long distance transmission systems. ADVC1000 has AES/EBU terminals to support multi-channel audio operation with a professional audio mixer. Advanced Usability ADVC1000 is quickly configurable. Front panel controls include a mode switch and menu selection buttons with an LCD display for conversion settings. ADVC1000 can operate as a stand-alone device not requiring a computer while keeping any preprogrammed settings.
