1-5. Limitations
• Limitations on the nonstandard signal
While the ADVC3000 can convert the signals output by game consoles, there is a possibility that
some software will be unable to synchronize some video and audio signals.
* In order to capture the nonstandard signal, such as one from a game console without audio noise, enable the “108
DVout frame sync”. In this instance, frame-skip or frame-hold will occur.
• Limitations on the ADVC3000 connection
Before you connect(or disconnect) your ADVC3000 to(or from) a PC, ensure that the PC has been
powered off.
• Limitations on connecting your ADVC3000 to Windows 2000 PC through IEEE1394
interface (OHCI)
When the ADVC3000 is operating in NTSC mode, the DV frame rate being output from the OHCI
driver is markedly slower than the standard frame rate. Therefore, glitches in both the frame hold
and time-code can occur regularly while the DV output signal is being converted to an analog
signal. This phenomenon does not occur, however, when the signal is input through OHCI from the
ADVC3000.
