Unfortunately, the only options I have in the bundled software are PAL, NTSC, or SECAM - no variants.ĭose anyone have any comments or advice? I really don't want to have to tell my girlfriend's mum that she needs to buy a $100 PAL NTSC converter box. On the Roxio Media Import screen I have selected S-video for input but preview picture is black and white and the status line shows 'No Signal'. However DVD picture is very grainy compared with the original VHS tape. Perhaps when the VCR plays an NTSC tape, it plays it at NTSC resolution and refresh rate, but encodes the colour in PAL? The TV might be able to display this fine, but the capture card might not? I can capture from VHS using composite video cables and colour is fine. This leads me to believe (with my limited recent research on PAL/NTSC) that the VCR and TV might not be truly "NTSC-compatible", but rather PAL-60 compatible. If I start the 'old' hyperion first, stop it, then start hyperion.ng everything is in colour. * A garbled but coloured picture if PAL is selected in the software. If I start Hyperion.ng I get a a black and white image from the capture, all the LEDs are white. * A clear black and white picture if NTSC is selected in the software.

When we play the NTSC tapes to the PC (VCR -> composite/RF -> PC or VCR -> composite/RF -> TV -> composite/RF -> PC), we get: This system takes 6 simultaneous pictures of the individual, 4 to reconstruct 3D geometry and the 2 remaining to capture black and white texture information, generating a 3D textured mesh of the face.

When we play the NTSC tapes to the TV (composite or RF cable from VCR to TV), we get a colour picture. speaker by means of a three dimensional capture system from Vision RT Ltd (London, UK), composed of two sets of three cameras each. * Leadtek Winfast TV2000 Deluxe, with s-video, composite, and RF inputs. The Micro inspector can also be connected to a HD recorder or PC Grabbee software to. * PAL (but NTSC-compatible) TV, with composite and RF I/O only. Making images and video clips have never been easier. * PAL (but NTSC-compatible) VCR, with composite and RF I/O only.

On these tapes, we only get a black-and-white picture on the computer. It works fine for most captures except, unfortunately and ironically, the particular videos she bought it for, which are NTSC VHS tapes imported from the U.S. Camera front: High resolution color Camera back: Black & white. I told her to buy a Leadtek Winfast TV2000 Deluxe capture card. Or use the additional GrabBee to view and record everything on your laptop. I hadn't done this before, but figured it would be easy enough. If I move any of them more than that, it either gets too white, to yellowy, purple, blue or too dark. My girlfriend's mum wanted to back up some old videos on VHS to DVD.
