housed in a 2 rack-unit design, the
adVc3000 combines and enhances
the features of our adVc700 and
adVc1000 converters—and, in addition,
can convert between analog and dV, dV
and sd-sdi, and analog and sd-sdi.
The ADVC 3000 is designed to meet the
®
conversion requirements of broadcasters,
cable operators, video professionals, and
post-production operations.
Housed in a 2 rack-unit design, the
ADVC3000 combines and enhances the
features of our ADVC700 and ADVC1000
converters—and, in addition, can convert
between analog and DV, DV and SD-SDI,
and analog and SD-SDI.
Perfect Signal Synchronization
In studio environments, frame accuracy
is essential for precise offline/online
editing. The ADVC3000 delivers this
accuracy through its use of PerfectSync
technology.
KEY FEATURES
• Connects broadcast video equipment
to FireWire (IEEE 1394a)-equipped
computers for video editing
• Converts common broadcast digital
and analog video and audio formats
• Rack-mount capable (rack mount
brackets included)
• Compatible with Windows (including
Windows 7) and Mac operating
system-based DV editing systems

PerfectSync technology controls and
synchronizes the transfer rate of FireWire
(IEEE 1394a) communication with an
external reference signal. This process
prevents skipped and duplicate frames
and produces perfect frames during
analog-to-DV and SDI-to-DV conversion.
By contrast, many analog-to-DV
converters adjust their output by skipping
and/or duplicating frames to synchronize
the DV signal to an external sync signal's
frame frequency. In these converters,
there is no guarantee that all input
frames will output to DV accurately
without frame repetition and/or frame
drops.
• Compatible with leading editing and
DVD authoring applications including
Grass Valley EDIUS , Sony Vegas,
™ ®
Apple Final Cut Pro and iMovie, Avid
Xpress DV, Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid
Liquid, Ulead MediaStudio Pro, and
Windows Movie Maker

DV Signal Conversion For VTR
Control
The ADVC3000 converts DV device
control signals to RS-422 signals for
external VTR control. Such control
makes it possible to take in data from
professional VTRs, such as Digital
Betacam decks, through any standard DV
editing software that features DV device
control.
• No drivers or software applications to
install
• NTSC and PAL compatible
• Works with many FireWire 800
(IEEE 1394b)-equipped computers
by means of an appropriate adapter
cable (customer supplied)
