ADVC-300 Component out

[bigjoe]

I would like to purchase this box.....2 questions:

I would like to use the "component" out, does it come with the specified
"D1 Component Cable? If not where can I get it in the US?

Also, are all video outputs active at the same time?

(My advc110 spits out s-video and composite at the same time)

I have answered all your questions via e-mail.

For the peanut gallery...
1. In the US/Canada yes. This may not be the case in other regions. However, the Component Out connector on the ADVC300 is a standard "D-Terminal" connector popular in Asia. Some of the JVC HDV camcorders use a D-Terminal connector for component output as well.

2. Yes, all available analog outputs are active simultaneously.

D1 Cable Purcahse

Where do you buy the D1 cable?

Where? Good question. Does GV offer replacement parts support? That might be the fastest source. An alternative would be from a current ADVC300 owner who does not want their cable.

You may be able to make on up if you are handy with a soldering iron. Would take a few minutes for someone to map the pins to RBG and ground.

This is a source for what I believe are the special 14-pin miniature "D" connectors. It is not a standard "D" connectors used for serial ports, monitors, etc. and has a locking grip on the cable end.

We do offer replacement parts, but the ADVC 5x, 1x0, 300, 500, 700 and I believe 1000 are EOS (end of service) so I'm not sure if there will be anything available.

Doesn't hurt to query GV Support, I suppose. :)

If no luck there, Rakuten Global has some D-Terminal to Component options, though after shipping and such it's probably cheaper to get the Canon DTC1000 cable from a US source.

It should work as long as Canon is using a standard D-Terminal pinout, which being a Japanese company, they should be.
