[SHS]

Canopus MTV2000
Look ever better then old MTV1000 my guest you will be able buy it unless you live in Janpan.
How ever this one got some really cool features

High picture quality efficiency in wide circumstance showing
3d Y/C separation and 3d noise reduction, the time based collector, the high functional front ended * digital signal processor " Triple 3d Video Processor " which has the function of automatic gain control and, influence of the ghost is lightened loads " due sir 10Tap digital ghost Lee ". It is possible to prevent influence such as noise and the extension of the tape which become cause of the indication which decreases the efficiency of MPEG2 compression and/or is warped.

When of 3d Y/C separated ON

When of 3d Y/C separated OFF

TV reception section
NTSC (the Japanese region correspondence)
Audio multiplex / stereophonic broadcasting correspondence
Reception possible channel VHF 1 - 12, UHF 13 - 62, CATV C13 - C63
(It cannot receive the CATV where the private receiver and the like becomes necessary)

Video input section
Video input signal NTSC
Video input terminal 7 pin mini- DIN connectors X 1
(The S video cable can be connected, the composite video cable can be connected or with the pin-jack conversion cable of attachment)
Input image adjustment The Brightness, the Contrast, the Hue, the Saturation and the Sharpness are reflected adjustment possibly & encoding result.
Overlay indication TV reception image, video input image and playback image in PC picture overlay indicatory possibility
(There is no video signal output function)
The display hardware and the display driver, have the necessity to support the overlay function of DirectX 5 or more. In addition, depending upon the type and indicatory resolution of motherboard which is used and the setting et cetera of refreshment rate there are also times when you cannot use.
Overlay image adjustment Brightness, Contrast and Saturation adjustment possibility
* It is reflected on the encoding result

Audio input/output section
Audio input RCA pin jack (red / white)
Input impedance 22k Omega (typ)
Full scale input level 2vrms

It does look like a nice card.
Do you think it uses the panasonic encoder the same as the MTV1000.
They have'nt posted their drivers yet so I couldn't check.
It would have been good if they added a hardware audio compressor but It does look good

Cheers

No idea norm
