User manual

Chapter 1 - Introduction

• Simple user-friendly menu settings

The ADVC700 settings can be altered by using the select dial and the buttons on the front

panel. The current setting will display on the LCD.

The ADVC700 will also save its most recently used settings when the unit power is turned

off, and those settings will automatically restore when the unit is turned back on. (All settings

changed with the front panel switches will be recovered.)

• Save/Restore user settings

You can save/restore up to three different settings, enabling the user to choose from the most

appropriate settings from past usage.

• Versatility with all PCs

The ADVC700 utilizes a DV format; therefore its usability is not limited by either Windows or

Macintosh. The input/output functions of component video, composite video, S-video, audio

XLR and audio RCA can all be employed by simple connection to the IEEE1394 interface,

without any need to change the current environment.

• Versatility in NTSC/PAL

As well as NTSC, which is the format used in Japan and US, PAL format, which is more common

in European and other countries, can also be selected.

* NTSC-PAL (SECAM) conversion cannot be done with the ADVC700.

* Even once the ADVC700 has been mounted to a director’s rack, video settings can still be easily changed by

accessing the front panel settings.
