Canopus ADVC 300
- Bi-directional Analog / Digital Video
Conversion
The ADVC 300 is the ultimate bi-directional analog to digital video converter unit for the video
enthusiast!
The ADVC 300 stands apart with its ability to filter and stabilize the
incoming analog video prior to DV conversion to enhance image quality.
ADVC 300's powerful pre-filtering features include advanced 3D Y/C
separation to reduce color noise and improve image quality , 3D digital noise
reduction to eliminate noise in the analog video signal, a line time base
corrector (LTBC) to correct any video images that jitter, as well as frame
synchronization and auto gain control. ADVC 300 also features color bar
reference signal output and advanced analog input control software for adjusting
brightness, contrast, saturation, hue and sharpness.

- ADVC 300 can be used as a stand-alone bi-directional analog / digital video
converter without needing a computer
- ADVC 300 is compatible with all widely used DV and analog cameras and decks.
High-quality component video output* is ideal for monitoring video using a
broadcast monitor
*Component output from ADVC 300 requires a DV1 – BNC
connector, sold separately
Intelligent Input/Output
ADVC 300's intelligent usability allows for easy setup and connection in any video environment.
Front and back I/O connectors provide analog and DV signal pass-through and ensure that
connecting cables is neat and simple.
The ADVC 300 features color bar reference signal output and advanced analog input control
software for adjusting brightness, contrast, saturation, hue and sharpness.
Proven DV codec Technology
At the heart of the ADVC 300 is Canopus's proprietary DV codec chip providing the industry's best picture quality preservation during analog-to-DV and DV-to-analog conversion.
Clean, stabilize and preserve analog video
The ADVC 300 employs advanced 3D Y/C separation, 3D noise reduction and Line Time Base Correction (LTBC) functions for perfect frame synchronization. Poor analog source video is filtered and stabilized prior to DV conversion.
ADVC 300 is also ideal for “cleaning” old analog video and output back to analog tape.
ADVC 300 advanced image enhancement features:
- 2D/3D Y/C separation - 2D Y/C separation separates Brightness (Y) and
Chrominance (C) from the composite source signal by one frame. ADVC 300's
3D Y/C separation separates by cross-referencing each frame with the frames
immediately in front and behind, further refining and improving the overall image
quality. (NTSC only)
- Digital 3D noise reduction – Eliminates noise in the analog video signal by detecting noise based on the characteristics
- Digital 3D frame synchronizer – Stores incoming signals into a frame buffer to supply a stable, synchronized signal to the DV encoder chip
- Digital Line Time Base Corrector (LTBC) – Detects images with strong horizontal jitter and employs powerful correction methods to repair the jitter
- Digital Auto Gain Control (AGC) – Automatically adjusts the input video level for a clearer picture
Locked Audio Support
Other converters can lose audio/video sync when converting longer segments of video.
ADVC 300 supports locked audio when converting from analog to digital, assuring perfect audio and video synchronization.
Long product life
The broadest video equipment and editing software compatibility ensures the ADVC
300 provides a long product life and a high return on investment.
