Hi, everybody! Some month ago, someone on the list, I guess Stephen Shultz and others, gave me this suggestion to riduce lost frames while capturing from a Video8 camera: buy a SIMA CT200.
At last I bought it, brand new, just the model is CT2, not CT200, but many people told me they are actually the same item. Now the bad surprise: on one hand it notably reduces lost frames, but on the other hand it produces a rather waving (or wiggling?) picutre every now and then. It's difficult for me to explain, I'm not an englih speaking guy. What I mean is that the picture itself is not "stable", like a picture on a sheet of paper that someone moves makeing waves on the surface. Actually, this equipment is completely unusable, the result is as bad as when loosing frames, though it much different. The seller told me that the problem could be the european frequency (I clearly had to buy a universal adapter to get the 7.5 V DC input for the item), but I'm not so familiar with electrical engineering. Could it really be this the cause of the problem? It seems questionable to me, because the adapter actually produces a 7.5 volt direct current. Indeed, it could do that not very well, the current may be not so "direct" as CT2 requires, I don't know. Any hint? Many thanks in advance. -- Andrea ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
