Video Tech Designs - Digital Timebase Corrector / Vision Mixer - VMX400
Most TBCs don’t allow you to change settings, but this one has a huge amount of built in options, making this one of the very few consumer level TBCs you can manipulate to improve video signals. It’s very difficult to find one of these with the instruction manual - which is almost 40 pages of information on how to improve picture quality, as well as general information on operation.
I often hear people saying that a vision mixer isn’t a proper time base corrector, which in some cases is true. Many just have frame synchronisation, but this is one of the units that does have a TBC built in, and by now you’ll have read the reviews on how this thing performs, which is extremely well.
In many cases, this unit offers more choice than the competition, as it throws in extra functions - such as useful wipes and fades if required. It can also mix between two video sources, or it can just have two sources connected up to save constantly unplugging wires. For instance, Input one could be your VHS deck, with Input two being Betamax.
Connections are composite and S video.
