Figure 2. A multi-format converter is indispensable during post production, when many and varied video formats have to be dealt with. Used together with a matrix switcher, the VC-300HD can greatly boost efficiency and simplify conversion tasks from basic conversion to aspect ratio control, color adjustment, and other tweaks.

Figure 3. Production of live performance and studio video shot using various sources can be carried out using video mixing systems such as the Edirol V-440HD multi-format video mixer. If a VC-300HD is included in the system, the video line and audio can be combined during acquisition. Audio delay control, built into the VC- 300HD, enables audio to be synchronized with the video.

there is often a need for so-called line recording. Simple video switchers do not usually have DV and HDV outputs. If you want to output in these formats, the VC-300HD is your only option.

This is because, being more than a simple image converter, the VC-300HD can be used for merging output from an audio mixer line and then enabling recording of the embedded DV or

HDV output. Before now, to record this type of input, it was necessary to take along a studio deck to handle separate image and sound input. Recording is easier with a VC-300HD, even when using things like HDV cameras.
