YOu really need to use the ADVC to get the best quality.
I have the 300 model. Canopus built their own video chip for those
systems and their line goes up and up in price. They go from
consuer to pro.
They were so good that Thomson/Grass-Valley bought them over a year
ago to add to their low-end end.
Impressive equipment. Not sure about the 100 but the 300 had
a built in TBC and 3D noise correction that was able to correct
from pretty bad errors on tapes.
