1-5. Limitations
• Limitations on the nonstandard signal
While the ADVC3000 can convert the signals output by game consoles, there is a possibility that
some software will be unable to synchronize some video and audio signals.
* In order to capture the nonstandard signal, such as one from a game console without audio noise, enable the “108
DVout frame sync”. In this instance, frame-skip or frame-hold will occur.
• Limitations on the ADVC3000 connection
Before you connect(or disconnect) your ADVC3000 to(or from) a PC, ensure that the PC has been
powered off.
• Limitations on connecting your ADVC3000 to Windows 2000 PC through IEEE1394
interface (OHCI)
When the ADVC3000 is operating in NTSC mode, the DV frame rate being output from the OHCI
driver is markedly slower than the standard frame rate. Therefore, glitches in both the frame hold
and time-code can occur regularly while the DV output signal is being converted to an analog
signal. This phenomenon does not occur, however, when the signal is input through OHCI from the
ADVC3000.
2 Features of ADVC3000
High-specifi cation video converter for professional use
The ADVC3000 is a converter designed to be used with professional VCR to convert Analog
Component/SD-SDI to DV and vice versa. This unit enables the conversion of the data from
Betacam, Digital Betacam, etc., to DV for use with nonlinear editing systems. Uncompressed 4:2:2
is used for Component-SDI conversion.

DV to RS-422A conversion-driven VCR control
The ADVC3000 features DV to RS-422A conversion-driven VCR control. Its Perfect Sync
technology (patent pending) results in precise synchronization without frame skipping. Using DV
editing software, the ADVC3000 can import data from a wide range of professional VCRs. With two
systems of input/output terminals, the integrated system connecting the Betacam and the Digital
Betacam simultaneously can be established.
Professional specifi cations adaptable to a variety of studio uses
Equipped with TC input/output, ADVC3000 can perform conversion using LTC, DVITC and DV time
code in any direction. ADVC3000 is compatible with 4ch audio and can realize the conversion of
the balanced audio, embedded audio, AES, EBU and DV in any direction. ADVC3000 also has a
Sync Generator (Black Burst output) function, thus it can be introduced to a variety of studio/video
systems.
Easy-to-use input source switching
With control buttons for switching the input source and peak meters on the easy-to-access front
panel, ADVC3000 enables easy settings with the help of the LCD display.
High audio/video synchronism: “Locked Audio”
The ADVC3000 uses a “locked audio function” to digitize the audio signal by synchronizing it
precisely with the speed of the video signal. This function enables the easy conversion of long
duration content.
Versatility with NTSC/PAL
As well as NTSC, which is the format used in Japan and US, PAL format, which is more common
in European and other countries, can also be selected.
*NTSC-PAL (SECAM) cannot be converted.
2U rack-mount size
The ADVC3000, as a 19-inch 2U rack mountable unit, to EIA standard, includes full specifi cations
in a compact body. In addition, the ADVC3000, a stand-alone unit, does not need a PC.
*The rack-mount bracket and the screws are provided with the unit.
