If you have a VCR with TBC (or an external TBC) then the ADVC300 will provide minimal improvement, but nothing spectacular. If you do analog xfers alot, this box can really help. And thats what I was after.Ĭonclusion: If you have a VCR without TBC or are just using a cam Passthr, you will see improvement in the video quality if you route though this box rather than a cam or non tbc vcr. It cant fix everything, and there are tradeoffs to the 3d NR, but my quick testing reveals the box does improve footage. I hope these help others who may be considering this box. I encoded these to WMV ata fairly high rate so you can hopefully see the differences. Test 4 Old super8 footage that was transfered to VHS several years ago No magic here, but the NR does improve the background quite a bit. A VHS wedding copied to another VHS in EP mode. Test 3 Wedding footage vhs dup in EP mode Right side is with the same 3D NR filters on Strong. This time the left shows capture via ADVC300 with NO Noise filters on.

Same Home movie capture showing NR on AND off Note you will see some of the ghosting problem during the fast movement. This compares original to advc with the 3d NR filters on the strong setting. Test 2a Home movie with 3d NR filters on strong This was using the default settings of the ADVC right out of the box.
JVC HRS9911 SVHS VCR connected to ADVC300 via Svideo.
Of course the deck is connected to my NLE via 1394. The sony DV deck simply provides analog passthru to DV. JVC HRS9911 SVHS VCR connected through a sony DSR-25 DV deck via Svideo. So, the results would be more dramatic if I was using a VCR without TBC.įor the curious, below are links to 5 videos I output to WMV showing the videos captured via a DV deck -vs the ADVC (using split screen) So, it does a pretty good job on its own stabilizing footage before it even gets to the ADVC300. (Sometimes the changes are too abrupt, so it depends on the footage) As scenes change it does a decent job making adjustments. I liked the AGC (auto gain corrector) for video and audio.
Also, it is better to attempt the clean up while the video is analog rather in post there is more information available. This is faster for me than correcting it in PPRO. The 3d noise filters do cause ghosting so I found any footage with alot of motion was not a good candidate for the 3d filters.įor me the biggest benefit of the box is doing the color correction in real time as it is captured while cleaning some of the grain at the same time.
I tested on a variety of old vhs footage and found the box does a pretty good job. Still, I was able to poke around and divine how most of the settings work. Aside from the bad translation there is little detail about most of the features.
#BEST CANOPUS ADVC110 CONVERSION SETTINGS MANUAL#
I found the manual for the box badly written(badly translated Japanese in many spots ex: "When the S-Video input, Y/C separation of the [Filter} tab can not set". So, I thought I'd give the ADVC 300 a try. in my manual, under the DV deck, it days 'NTSC type colour signal, 525 lines, 60 fields'.odd to me b/c I didn't know that DV had a pal spec (I don't think it does), but since they wrote it that way, I'd recommend to definitely make sure it will convert pal to NTSC DV before spending the $$ (I wonder what the other manual says under DV specs)Īlthough my focus is event and corp video, I get more and more call to convert misc old analog footage to DVD or DV. did you try to find the manual online? I know the manual that came with mine specifies NTSC, although the manual is the for the U model (which I thought was US), so it doesn't list all the models and their specs, but if you can find the manual online, that also means it would say. Now if I can find one for under 450 and if its able to playback and record PAL and NTSC I would choose this over the ADVC-300 but realistically the ADVC-300 is still my best bet. So does that mean the one I linked to is in fact a PAL unit? PAL only would be considered since it does convert PAL footage to DV but it’s a shame I wouldn’t be able to use it for other projects.
