ADVC HD Family

High-qualit y HD video conversion

Our ADVC HD family supports virtually any high-definition (HD), videoconversion need. As standalone

units or connected to a computer, all ADVC HD products feature broad compatibility with video equipment,

sturdy construction, and a standaloneoperation capability.

ADVC-HDM1 – Real-Time HD-SDI/ HDV Conversion

Provides high-quality, bi-directional conversion between HD-SDI and HDV signals, complete with embedded audio. It’s perfect for recording from HD-SDI sources to a nonlinear editing system for HDV editing—or for use as a standalone converter without a computer.

It can also encode HD MPEG-2 transport streams up to a full 1920x1080 resolution using one of eight different bit-rate settings that best suits your workflow.

The ADVC®-HDM1 unit also lets you input external time-code information when encoding in HDV; control HD-SDI decks via HDV and vice versa with AV/C- RS-422 device control conversion; and use simple, two-button control for its encoding/decoding and time-code mode via the front panel. Convenient partialwidth, 19-inch rack, 1 RU form factor. Rack mount kit is available separately.

ADVC-HD50 – Real-Time HDMI to FireWire (IEEE 1394) Conversion

Converts any uncompressed HDMI source—for example from AVCHD camcorders—to the HDV format for easier editing (1280 x 720 to 1280 x 720 HDV and 1920 x 1080 to 1440 x 1080 HDV), also reducing the need for a high-performance system or costly HDD storage. Simple to operate—perfect for laptops and desktops.

ADVC-HDSC1 – Real-Time HD-SDI/SD-SDI to Component (YUV) Conversion

Converts HD-SDI signals to HD component output or SD-SDI signals to SD component output. It provides instant output of HD content to affordable HD component displays, such as TVs and RGB monitors—and standard-definition (SD) content to component, S-Video, and composite displays. It has a sync

generator for HD (tri-level sync) and SD (black burst), making it ideal for video editing studios—as well as audio-level- adjustment options.

The ADVC-HDSC1 unit also offers several unique features, including embedded audio support, SD-SDI to S-Video

and composite conversion, HD-SDI conversion to RGB for PC monitors with BNC inputs, and front-panel displays for video-format and audio-level outputs. As well, it automatically detects your current video output format, and supports SDI signal pass-through. Convenient partialwidth, 19-inch rack, 1 RU form factor. Rack mount kit is available separately.
