CANOPUS ANNOUNCE AVAILABILITY OF ADVC-100

CANOPUS Corporation, makers of award-winning, digital video editing systems, have announced the availability of ADVC-100, a media converter that converts S-VHS, Hi8 or 8mm analogue tapes to DV in one simple step.
The converted DV streams are easily transferred to Macintosh or Windows-based computer systems via IEEE 1394 and stored on the hard drive where they can be manipulated using popular photo or video editing applications. The ADVC-100 is an ideal, cost-effective solution for users of OHCI and DV-only capture cards that need to edit video of various formats.
To deliver the highest quality video, the ADVC-100 features Canopus’s proven DV codec technology, which is found in Avid's Xpress DV software and the full line of Canopus DV capture cards. On the audio front, the ADVC-100 is one of the first inexpensive DV converters that supports locked audio when converting from analogue to digital, assuring perfect audio and video synchronization. For greater convenience, the ADVC-100 provides a 4-pin DV jack on the front panel, a 6-pin FireWire jack on back and analog input connectors on both front and back.
The ADVC-100 is available from Canopus authorised dealers for a suggested retail price of £229.+VAT. (CD)
