Does its job 3 1

I used to convert analog video to DV. I had tried to do it with a camera (Canon HV30 camera) who could play the role of bridge between analog input and output DV firewire cable, but the camera refused to convert the signal if he had too many flaws. So I compare the ADVC with the HV30 conversion function.

1. This converter is much faster to detect the signal and start the conversion.
2. It even converts sources damaged. It will not transform the m ... in gold, but it will never give up and I was able to digitally all pictures I wanted.
3. The power supply cable firewire is practical and works well (on my PC).
4. The converter is multistandard (he also takes PAL and NTSC US or Japan). It's a bit anecdotal, but it's good.
5. If you want to go in the opposite direction of the story, you can convert your analog tapes to digital (ouahhh).

To use the ADVC, it must know something. To make the conversion to analog PAL DV, I had to change the DIP switches. Nothing complicated.

Negative: the instructions are concise. On a product of great series, I think it would have earned a star less, but the Canopus Converter is a conversion product made in small quantities, for limited use after all. The ADVC has obviously very laudable object design efforts under the addressable market, and I am grateful to Canopus.
