DVK = DataVideo DVK-100, a chroma keyer box that when inserted into your video chain between an ES10/15 and your capture device can make a passable TBC (line and frame - you need both in almost all cases). A proc amp (shorthand for processing amplifier) in simplest terms is a device that in realtime can alter, change, or clean video signals, usually to a set standard. Many frame TBCs have an onboard proc amp, but they're not recommended as the only method for cleaning and restoration. 4:2:0 = the type of chroma subsampling used by PAL DV, terrestrial broadcasts in the United States, and I'm sure in other parts of the world too. It's not recommended for analog video capture, 4:2:2 is. Don't make DVDs of your tapes with the ES10. It was meant as an "off-air" DVD recorder, a sort of drop-in replacement for taping TV programs with a VCR. It isn't meant to digitize tapes. One of its unintended uses was for a very specialized cleaning of certain video signals (see paragraph after next). If you capture to lossless AVI you can do simple cuts and edits (such as cutting out commercials) in VirtualDub without re-encoding the video then make DVDs later using your computer. Correct, that DVS2U has a line TBC. In addition you still need a frame TBC. In the same signal chain both kinds of TBC (line first, then frame) correct different types of errors that are present in VHS tapes and the signal from the VCR. The ES10/15 is preferred for a very specialized type of cleaning of rips, wiggles, and tears at the top of the screen (the technical term is tearing). It's not really a line TBC, but exhibits some qualities of one (I may be still messing up the explanation), hence describing it as TBC(ish) or TBC-like. It also needs a completely uncorrected signal on the input side. If you'll be using the DVS2 to play your tapes an ES10/15 won't be needed unless you have tapes that exhibit tearing. |

Thanks i get it now.
I thought DVK is a short name (initial, capital letters) for Data Video King or something but this is a standalone device. The DVK-100 is really this big? This is only digitalization not NASA rocket launch :omg:. So (ES10/15 + DVK) ~ (external) TBC? (external) TBC is equals to DataVideo TBC-1000 level? Quote:
Any suggestion about the capture card? I realized that this Canopus NX is also a device (inner capture card). Any other acceptable that is connected via USB maybe? The ATI AIW is good? I am affraid that these devices are not compatible with Win 10. Also are there any exact method to verify the digitalized material? You know for experimental use. I digitalize the same footage with TBC on and off, using ES10 and not. I don't want to inspect the television with a magnifier for searching discolorations, tearings, etc. I don't have that kind of eyes, should be exhausting. I mean a software maybe. At my only digitalization so far the Adobe Premiere shows the dropped frames count. I also find the GSpot application, maybe on this site. Could be this method working to somehow compare the result of my test digitalizations? |
For 99% of tapes your EH65 will do the job as well as the ES10. Maybe it's different for the NTSC units, but I've never had any issues with capturing directly from the ES10 (or any other DVD-recorder) to a capture card other than that they can output macrovision on copy-protected tapes (and DVDs). I don't even see how it would even be capable of outputting anything that wasn't a stable signal but YMMV. It's not like the internal TBC in VCRs, those are very limited in how much they buffer.

Asking about the capture card.
The VCR is ok. The DMR EH-65 is not the best so i will bid for an ES-10. It has the frame synchronizer (line TBC) if i remember. I searched for the TBC-1000, i found one on the ebay in a very good condition (open - box) with a very high price. Maybe does somebody have one for sale? Without it i can start to digitalize, maybe if i will find or get a messy tape i will search for it again. Maybe later there will be a better offer. Only the capture card missing. I read that the Win 7 would be better for digitalize. Should i get a dedicated PC for digitalization? What configuration should it have? The capture cards mentioned on the site are ATi All-In-Wonder USB.... and the Canopus NX, etc.. The capture card should have to have some features? I assume it will convert the analog signal to digital for the computer. Does it need to make the video signal better or every other devices in the chain before the capture card should do that? Are there any categorisation for the issues and what device can fix or at least correct? For example: tearing - full frame TBC (DataVideo TBC-1000) jiggle - line TBC (Panasonic DMR ES-10) etc. It would be very helpful |

tearing workflow = VCR (TBC off) > ES10/15 > external frame/framesync TBC > capture card Quote:
