*****************************
Software License:
Q: I want to know if the license of the software included with Video
Advantage allows to install it in a desktop computer and a laptop
computer at the same time.
A: The License allows for the software to be installed and used on one
computer.
*****************************
Q: I'm using the PowerDirector to capture video into files with the profile
set at "Best Quality MPEG-2". At that point, the analog video is
digitized and compressed with low degradation of quality. When it comes
to Produce the video into a file and the profile is set to "Best Quality
MPEG-2". Does the PowerDirector do another compression with some loss
of quality? For example, if I import an MPEG-2 file product during Capture
step and I write it back to the disk with the Produce step, does the file
content (and quality) stay the same ?
A: It will not redo anything if it's the same file (no edits). You can also
just render the edits by enabling SVRT (please see the help file in
PowerDirector).
*****************************
Hyper threading etc?
Q: Hi, I am in the process of buying a video capture card. I have heard so
many horror stories about most products, I am looking to Turtle beach
video advantage due to your high quality sound cards. My questions are:
- Does the video advantage PCI have any audio-video sync issues ?
- Do you fully support Hyper threading ?
- Do you fully support windows XP SP2 ?
A: - There have been no reports of any sync issues.
- The product will work on a HT CPU but it does not use the HT feature.
- It supports XP SP2.
*****************************
10 bit or 9 bit processing?
Q: I see on your web page that the PCI & ADX versions use 10 bit processing
for color, while the USB uses 9 bit. Does this mean it uses a color depth
of 10 bit or does it refer to the A to D converter being 10-bit.
A: The VDA products have a 10bit and 9 bit color depth respectively. The PCI
& ADX versions offer a slightly better Capture Quality 10bit instead of
9 bit the USB has.
*****************************
Video Noise reduction controls?
Q: Does the software offer Video Noise reduction controls?
A: This product does not have any Video Noise reduction features.
*****************************
Synching Video > Audio:
Q: I am thinking about purchasing the Video Advantage. Does it hold synch
between audio and video during capture?
A: The audio is recorded via your sound card. The product does a great job
at synchronizing audio and video during capture, but a lot depends on
your Sound Card.
*****************************
Port 1394 in my laptop?
Q: I have Compaq nx9040 laptop. Does this laptop have port 1394?
A: Please consult with the Manual of your Computer or contact your
computer manufacturer.
*****************************
SDK (Software Development Kit):
Q: I develop S/W using BT-878 video capture card. Do you have SDK (Software
Development Kit) which can run under C++ Builder for compatibility with
the BT-878 driver?
A: The Video Advantage products work with the drivers provided. They will
not work with the BT-878 drivers and at present there is no SDK.
*****************************
Q: Does your product support the format (I believe it's Beta) used in the
Sony Cassette Video Cameras?
A: The Video Advantage will capture video from a source, so the tape format
you are using is irrelevant. As long as your tape player/camera can
output a video signal as composite, S-Video or DV you should experience
no problem.
*****************************
Frames Per Second & Resolution:
Q: I need to know how many frames per second the card will capture analog
video from a vhs-c camcorder and at what resolution (with great
performance).
A: - The card will capture at the rate of 29.97 fps
- You can adjust the resolution you wish to use. The default is 720x480
