ADVC55
High-Quality Analog/Digital Video Conversion

Our ADVC® professional family supports virtually any professional video conversion need. Each contains our innovative Canopus® DV codec technology, which provides the industry's best picture-quality preservation during analog/DV conversion.

Our ADVC55 unit connects VHS, Hi8, and other analog video equipment to a DV camera, deck, or editing system. It's ideal for capturing analog video into FireWire (IEEE 1394a)-equipped notebook and desktop editing computers. There are no drivers to install, and the unit does not require a power supply when used with a 6-pin FireWire (IEEE 1394a) cable.

It has been brought to our attention that the ADVC55 packaging has erroneous information printed on it, namely that this product can capture audio only (it cannot) and can generate a color bar reference signal (it cannot). Both these features are supported by the bi-directional ADVC110, not the ADVC55. We sincerely apologize for this error and are taking steps to change the ADVC55 packaging. Because this is a high-volume product sold through retailers, it could take some time for the new packaging to become available.
