[Fmpro] Canopus ADVC110 or 300?

[jon j kirch]

O K, I guess I didn't understand what Susan needed done.
I use miromotion dc30+ to drive my ntsc monitor. Yes, there can be a lag 
when going out dv cam to ntsc, although many DAWs have a way to compensate.
The post I responded to said the purpose was to capture vhs to cpu or 
dvd. No mention of monitoring on ntsc rather than Quicktime on second 
monitor etc.

The specs look good for the 300. Depending on what other purposes I 
seemed to have missed, 110 looks good as well.
