1-5. Limitations
• Limitations on the nonstandard signal
While the ADVC700 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 DV-out frame sync.” In this instance, frame-skip or frame-hold will occur.
• Limitations on the ADVC700 connection
Before you connect(disconnect) your ADVC700 to(from) a PC, ensure that the PC has been powered off.
• Limitations on connecting your ADVC700 to Windows 2000 PC through IEEE1394 interface (OHCI)
When your ADVC700 is operating in NTSC, 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 ADVC700.
Page 11
Chapter 1 - Introduction
2 Features of ADVC700
• Pursuit of video quality
The highly acclaimed Canopus DV Codec functions as the DV Codec chip and performs the core work for analog/DV conversion. This allows for high quality video conversion.
• High synchronism: “Locked Audio”
The ADVC700 uses a locked audio function to digitize the audio signal by synchronizing it precisely with the speed of the video signal. When the audio and video data are synchronized, the analog audio input will not get out of sync with the video. Lengthy content, such as a movie, can be converted easily.
* The locked audio function only works in analog DV conversion. It will not function in a DV-DV connection.
• Perfect Sync technology(patent pending)
During DV analog conversion, Perfect Sync technology (patent pending) facilitates conversion and results in precise synchronization with the REF input signal, also eliminating any skip holds.
• Professional specifications adapt to a variety of studio uses
Designed for quick and easy introduction to a wide range of studio systems, the ADVC700 features AV/C RS422 conversion-driven VCR control and a full complement of reference inputs and LTC I/O.
• EIA-compliant 19-inch rack-mount
The ADVC700, a stand-alone unit with a generic format, the IEEE1394 interface, can handily be connected to any PC without the need for additional hardware. In addition, the ADVC700, as a 19-inch unit, the EIA standard, can be mounted to a director’s rack together with a VCR.
TIP
When mounting the ADVC700 on a rack:
1. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the four rubber legs from the bottom of the unit; and
2. Attach the rack-mount bracket to the ADVC700 unit with the screws provided.
11
Page 12
Chapter 1 - Introduction
• Simple user-friendly menu settings
The ADVC700 settings can be altered by using the select dial and the buttons on the front panel. The current setting will display on the LCD. The ADVC700 will also save its most recently used settings when the unit power is turned off, and those settings will automatically restore when the unit is turned back on. (All settings changed with the front panel switches will be recovered.)
• Save/Restore user settings
You can save/restore up to three different settings, enabling the user to choose from the most appropriate settings from past usage.
• Versatility with all PCs
The ADVC700 utilizes a DV format; therefore its usability is not limited by either Windows or Macintosh. The input/output functions of component video, composite video, S-video, audio XLR and audio RCA can all be employed by simple connection to the IEEE1394 interface, without any need to change the current environment.
• Versatility in 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) conversion cannot be done with the ADVC700. * Even once the ADVC700 has been mounted to a director’s rack, video settings can still be easily changed by
accessing the front panel settings.
