Supporting Windows and Mac OS, ADVC300 is compatible with all widely used video editing applications including Canopus EDIUS, Final Cut Pro®, Avid Xpress® DV and Adobe® Premiere® Pro.

Intelligent Input/Output
ADVC300'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.

Proven DV codec Technology
At the heart of the ADVC300 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
ADVC300 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. ADVC300 is also ideal for “cleaning” old analog video and output back to analog tape.

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. ADVC300'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)
