CTB-100 Timebase Corrector

CTB-100 Multi-standard Timebase Corrector

Ultimate Stabiliser

We think this is the ultimate video stabiliser! Also known as AVT-8710

Multistandard

Works with PAL and NTSC (and their variants) as well as SECAM

What does it do?

- It totally ELIMINATES non-standard "junk" pulses which cause the picture to go light and dark and/or unstable, making the picture 100% standard again.
- STABILISES the jitters and amplitude variations that you get, e.g. when playing a tape or DVD.
- Completely REGENERATES new, stable sync pulses and colourburst for the cleanest video signal you're ever likely to get.
- Allows you to adjust the brightness, contrast, colour saturation, tint (NTSC only) and sharpness so that YOU CONTROL THE PICTURE QUALITY.

How do you use it?

Just plug it in-line with the COMPOSITE or S-VIDEO output of your VCR or DVD player, connect the power supply and then you are in control of your video quality.

How does it work?

The CTB-100 is a digital instrument. The input video is sampled into memory in real-time, manipulated digitally to automatically remove unwanted pulses, timing errors and level variations, adjusted to your requirements and then converted back to analogue composite and s-video with completely new and rock-solid broadcast-standard sync.
