Canopus Announces New Video Scan Converters
November 13, 2003
San Jose, CA - Canopus Corporation announced its two new multifunctional video converter, the TwinPact100 and ADVC300, will be available next month.
It is called the first multifunctional video converter to combine on-screen graphics-to-analog and DV scan conversion with a bidirectional analog/DV converter in one unit.
Also announced was the ADVC300, a high-quality, bidirectional analog/DV converter for Mac OS and Windows-based computers that features component video output and advanced image enhancement technology, such as digital noise reduction and image stabilization, to instantly clean, stabilize and preserve old VHS and Hi8 videos in pristine DV format.
TwinPact100 supports Windows and Mac OS and combines Canopus's proprietary DV codec and Track and Zoom technologies with advanced image enhancement features to provide the highest-quality video conversion and unmatched functionality. TwinPact is a flexible and affordable solution for the professional video, corporate and educational markets.
TwinPact100's Smart Scan Conversion capabilities lets users capture what's
on their computer monitor and convert it to both analog and DV format - an
industry first. It supports screen resolution sizes up to 1600x1200
and features Canopus's Track and Zoom technology, which provides the unique
ability to track, zoom and output any application window or desktop area to
a television, VCR or monitor.
TwinPact100 is also a high-quality, bidirectional analog/DV converter.
TwinPact100 can be used with a DV-enabled video editing system or as a
stand-alone converter that lets users transfer analog video directly to a DV
deck without using a computer.
TwinPact100 supports leading video editing applications for Windows and Mac OS, including Canopus EDIUS, Final Cut Pro, Avid Xpress DV and Adobe Premiere Pro.
TwinPact100 uses Canopus’ DV codec, providing a high-quality image output during analog-to-DV and DV-to-analog conversion. TwinPact100 features advanced image enhancement technology, including digital noise reduction and image stabilization with line time base correction (LTBC), to instantly optimize and stabilize old VHS and Hi8 videos so they can be preserved in pristine DV format, the manufacture describes. To ensure perfect audio and video synchronization, TwinPact100 also includes an advanced locked-audio feature.
ADVC300'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. ADVC300 also features color bar
reference signal output and advanced analog input control software for
adjusting brightness, contrast, saturation, hue and sharpness.
TwinPact100 and the ADVC300 will be available in December 2003 through Canopus and its authorized dealers at suggested retail price of $549 each.
