1-5. Limitations
• Limitations on the nonstandard signal
While the ADVC700 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 DV-out frame sync.” In this instance, frame-skip or frame-hold will occur.
• Limitations on the ADVC700 connection
Before you connect(disconnect) your ADVC700 to(from) a PC, ensure that the PC has been
powered off.
• Limitations on connecting your ADVC700 to Windows 2000 PC through IEEE1394
interface (OHCI)
When your ADVC700 is operating in NTSC, 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 ADVC700.
