After it powers up, press down the Input Select button for 20 seconds, and the unit will ignore Macrovision. Apparently however there is a way to overcome that, reported by users. Proven DV Codec Technology At the heart of ADVC110 is the innovative Canopus DV codec chip, providing the industrys best picture quality preservation during analog-to-DV and DV-to-analog conversion.

Leo mentions that the ADVC 110 does not overcome Macrovision copy protection. ADVC110 also features a color bar reference signal generator to further enhance its integration into any video production environment. It lists Blackmagic Intensity Extreme as an alternative to the Grass Valley Canopus ADVC110. There is possibly useful information on the uStream site. Care to tell me why What are the limitations of the ADVC110. Now I see that you are using one and looking for alternatives. It works with Windows and Mac OSX, no drivers required. I've been considering the Canopus ADVC110 as an alternative. It also does audio-only conversion.īuilt into the ADVC 110 is a Canopus DV Codec chip which preserves the video quality, and most importantly keeps the audio and video in sync (which is often a very tricky issue with other capture devices). Conversion is accomplished by transferring media data from an IEEE-1394 Firewire port and outputting. Its most useful function would be to convert analogue video (such as VHS, accepting S-Video and Composite inputs) into DV which can then be processed on your computer via a firewire connection using your favourite software (for editing, authoring or DVD burning). The ADVC-110 is a bidirectional media converter. It is essentially a video converter (analogue to digital, digital to analogue). The Canopus ADVC (standing for Advanced Digital Video Converter) line has a wide range of models, and the ADVC 110 is near the low end.
