The ADVC-HD50 converter lets you instantly convert
uncompressed HD video and audio from HDMI devices to the HDV format, output via IEEE 1394 FireWire, for use in your nonlinear editor of choice.Carrying on the design philosophy already present with standard definition
(SD) ADVC products, the ADVC-HD50 converter sports a sleek, portable design with
an emphasis on simplicity and compatibility; the converter does not require any
drivers or software to set up, and is compatible with both PC- and Mac-based
editors.
The ADVC-HD50 converter will convert any uncompressed HDMI source, such as an
AVCHD camcorder, to the HDV format for easier editing. This also reduces the
need for a high-performance system or costly hard disk drive storage
configurations to work with uncompressed HD video. The converter may also be
used to convert non-HDCP-protected video from other HDMI sources, such as game
consoles and set-top boxes.
Bringing affordable HD flexibility into the professional videography and prosumer
workflow, the ADVC-HD50 converter is ideal for:
- Anyone creating video productions from HDMI sources, with limited resources and/or hardware
- Gamers and 3D graphics artists seeking to capture from HDMI sources
- Universities and corporate training facilities - can be used as a live input for Thomson Grass Valley MediaEdgee
- Laptops and desktops that need HDMI ingest without internal hardware to support the input
