It's been over six months?!?!?!? Feh on me.

Looks like I'm not the best man for a blog. Anyway here's a small plug for your spending dollars.

I needed to update my analog to DV capabilities for a variaty of reasons. The main one was that I needed a better method to go from and to BetacamSP. I made a purchase of a Canopus ADVC700 and it's a VERY good box for the $1550 it cost from VIdeoguys in Long Island, NY.



The component in and out gives that bit of sparkle to the video but the most important is the genlock capabilities of the unit. Now I can go straight from the computer to the Beta deck without the need for a switcher or a looped video setup. One less heat producer for the summer, hooray!

It fits in the equipment rack, has a number of adjustments available by menu and it has a good VU meter. It's worth the money if you have a complex edit room and do a lot of analog capturing.
