Which Video Converter is Right for You?
Providing the industry’s highest picture quality preservation and A/V synchronization, Thomson Grass Valley video converters, engineered by Canopus, are compatible with all video cameras, decks and editing systems, whether Windows-based or Mac OS-based. Which one is right for you? The modest ADVC55 converts VHS, S-VHS and Hi8 analog videotapes to DV in one simple step. The ADVC700, ADVC3000 and ADVC-HDSC1 fulfill high-end broadcast needs. The charts below can help you identify which video converter you need.

The first chart compares our pro-quality ADVC converters (ADVC55, ADVC110, ADVC300 and TwinPact100).

The second chart compares our higher-end, professional broadcast converters (ADVC700, ADVC1000 and ADVC3000) as well as the ADVC-HDSC1 SDI-to-analog converter for HD/SD broadcast environments, and the ADVC-HDM1 realtime HD-SDI-to-HDV converter.
