Digital Video Capture of On-screen Graphics

When used with an OHCI (FireWire) equipped computer, TwinPact100 can capture any selected on-screen graphics to smooth, high-quality DV. Unique selective scan conversion and capture-to-DV makes TwinPact100 an ideal choice for computer training video production or archiving web and DVD video to DV.

Bi-directional Analog / Digital Video Conversion

TwinPact100 is an extremely high-quality, bi-directional analog / digital video converter. TwinPact100 will convert VHS, S-VHS and Hi8 analog videotapes to DV and back in one simple step and can be used with virtually any Windows or Mac OS video editing system, or as a stand-alone converter without needing a computer.

Proven DV Codec Technology: At the heart of the TwinPact100 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 and Enhance Analog Video: TwinPact100 employs advanced 3D Y/C separation and 3D noise reduction functions for enhancing analog video quality. Poor analog source video is filtered prior to DV conversion to provide better quality video.

Advanced Image Enhancement Features:

  • 2D/3D Y/C separation - Separates the Y/C (S-Video) signal to RGB using chronological information between signals (applicable for NTSC only). Separates brightness (y) and color (c) signals to provide cleaner video
  • Digital 3D noise reduction - Eliminates noise in the analog video signal by detecting noise based on the characteristics
  • Removes any sudden noise by comparing previous and subsequent frames
  • Digital Auto Gain Control (AGC) - Automatically adjusts the input video level for a clearer picture

Locked Audio Support: Other converters can lose audio/video sync when converting longer segments of video. TwinPact100 supports locked audio when converting from analog to digital, assuring perfect audio and video synchronization.
