ADVC-110 Audio Playback/Preview Question

[K. Forman]

I've never used the ADVC, but I did fry my Storm board. After 2 years or so, I sent it in, and they sent me a new one. I'm a fan ;)

I just got my ADVC-100 back from repair at Canopus about two weeks ago. They fixed it for free.

I questioned the repair tech and he told me that there is a bit of a design flaw with the six pin firewire input where if you hotplug it, the pins with the power can send voltage to the logic pins and fry the box. The solution is either to use the four pin jack or make sure the ADVC-100 is powered off when plugging in the firewire connector. He also said that later Conopus firewire capture boxes don't have this problem.

For those using ADVC-110 to capture analog,
what is your set-up for previewing?
(I'm editing with Adobe Elements)

I'm getting a strange 'feedback' noise (high-pitch) from TV.

My set-up:

1) Playing VHS thru Panasonic AG-1970 VCR (w/TBC)
(S-Vid, Comp.Audio OUT from RR to FRT of ADVC-110)

2) Firewire (6-pin) from RR of ADVC-110 to PC

3) Comp.A/V(out) from RR of ADVC-110(out) to VCR (in)(FRT)
(VCR input A2)

4) Comp.A/V(out) from RR of VCR (out) to TV/Monitor (in)

How do you Capture & Preview what you're capturing as well as what you have in your Project/Timeline?

Hi Harry,

Since u are very used to ADVC100 or 110, does this output analog footage (say, avi format) from PC to TV without first rendering the footage?

Your reply will ease me a great stress.

Thanks - John
