New Features (Additional to DAC-10)
The
Datavideo DAC-15 is a bi-directional
Digital to Analogue A/V converter. It has many advanced features including
RS-422 player control via DV NLE systems. The
Datavideo DAC-15 has a built in video processor with Colour, Contrast,
Brightness and Tint (NTSC only) adjustments. Another useful feature is
SmartDV which will allow the Datavideo
DAC-15 and a second DV device to be connected to an NLE system
simultaneously.

Introducing SMART DV (patent pending)
from Datavideo
|
|
|
|
Any Digital Video user will have
experienced problems when connecting two DV devices to an NLE
system. Either the computer sees only one device, or it sees
nothing, or worse it locks up or crashes.
Datavideo's SMART DV (patent pending)
feature was developed to overcome this problem. SMART DV has been
incorporated into the latest
Datavideo DAC-15,
DAC-10
& DAC-30 digital converters and the TLM-70D 7" LCD DV monitor.
Customers with older versions of these models can contact their
local Datavideo distributor for a free of charge firmware upgrade.
With the SMART DV feature enabled
the converter or monitor becomes transparent to the computer, while
still transcoding the live DV stream in to analogue video.
This enables users to monitor a live
digital video feed from a DV camcorder or DV deck during capture, or
monitor the DV Stream from an NLE system via an ordinary video
monitor, while exporting the edited video. SMART DV also allows
copying to DV and analogue at the same time.
Disabling the SMART DV feature
(simply done using dip switch on the back of the DAC) returns the
DAC to a normal bi-directional Digital Analogue Converter, which is
seen by the computer as a normal DV Device.
