Technical Information

A Digital Video Stabilizer removes the copy-protection signal from videotapes.  This allows you to copy these videotapes to a DVD recorder or another VCR.  Without the stabilizer, the DVD recorder would give a message that copying is not allowed.

Computer capture cards:  The Digital Video Stabilizer allows you to copy your videotapes to a computer capture card.  Use the stabilizer when your computer gives you a copy-protected videotape error message.

VCR/DVD combo units:  The stabilizer works with VCR/DVD combo units.  When using a combo unit, you need to use a separate VCR to play the videotape.  Most combo units do not provide the connections necessary for a Digital Video Stabilizer.

CONNECTIONS:  Instructions are included.  We also give free telephone support.

Connect the VCR video output to the stabilizer input.  Connect the stabilizer output to the DVD or VCR video input.  That is all.  The audio signal does not have to be corrected so it is not connected to the Digital Video Stabilizer.

The model 200 includes an AC adapter and does not use a battery.

Digital Video Stabilizer (model 200)

The stabilizer model 100 comes with a 9 volt battery installed.  A new battery is good for about 2000 hours of use.  It automatically turns on when it detects a video signal.  There is no on-off switch.  A 9 volt AC adapter may be used but it is not included.  Use an adapter with a 100 mA output and a negative center conductor.

Power consumption with video signal present:  1.8 mW.
Power consumption with no video signal:  0.5 mW.
Video bandwidth:  >4.5 MHz.
An alkaline battery can last from 1 to 2 years.
