There are no software drivers to install and systems equipped with 6-pin FireWire ports are able to supply power through the FireWire cable, so ADVC-110 does not require an external power supply.  Systems and devices equipped with 4-pin FireWire ports will require the optional power supply. The ADVC-110 can also operate as a stand-alone converter without requiring a computer.

Proven DV Codec Technology 
At the heart of ADVC-110 is the award winning Canopus DV codec chip providing the industry's best analog-to-DV and DV-to-analog video quality.

Locked Audio Support 
Other converters can lose audio/video sync when converting longer segments of video.  The ADVC-110 supports locked audio when converting from analog to digital, assuring perfect audio and video synchronization. The ADVC-110 also allows conversion of analog audio signals only, when needed.
