For sale: DataVideo TBC-100 (rare!) timebase corrector [SOLD]
 

I'm going to let one of my TBC-100 cards go. This one was a backup of a backup, and as such was rarely used. I tested it a few months ago, and it's still perfect.

Unlike TBC-1000/3000/etc, the 100 has no noise, ever, of any kind. :cool:

Note: two TBC-100s exist
- true TBC-100, for use in a computer; this is what I have for sale
- altered TBC-100, used in TBC-1000; the modifications prevent use in computers
TBC-1000 is excellent, but can, at times, have various interference or softness issues. It varies from person to person, location to location (due to your power grid). Even re-routing TBC-1000 to use only the TBC-100 card inside of it, divorcing it from the VP-299, is not as effective. Why? The power. A computer's internal power tends to be very clean, whereas external power tends to have noise on the line. Computer PSUs do a good job of eliminating noise. Even UPS with AVR doesn't really clean as well as a computer PSU.

AVT-8710s (green, not black) are also excellent, but if you want the best capture possible, you want a TBC-100.

The TBC-100 is a PCI card, used with computer capture in professional setups. The video workflow usually exits a high-end VCR, enters the TBC-100, and immediately exits into a Matrox/Aja/ATI/etc capture card in an adjacent slot.

Again, these are rare. :2cents:

DataVideo discontinued them years ago, and owners tend to never sell them due to quality. I've not seen one on eBay in at least 4 years.

It comes in the original box, includes wires, paperwork, etc. Again, like new, almost never used
