If this device has time base correction capabilities, add each TBC type. Buffer size is optional but useful for older units with limited correction range.
If this device has time base correction capabilities, add each type. Line TBC corrects timing within individual scan lines (horizontal timing). Frame synchronizer buffers a complete frame and stabilizes frame-level output timing (vertical timing), but does not necessarily correct line-level errors. A device may have one or both — dedicated TBCs like the DataVideo TBC-1000 typically do both, while built-in VCR TBCs are usually line-only and many DVD recorders/mixers are frame synchronizer-only.

TV System Support
AV system: av_system

What analog video systems this device can process in color via AV inputs (composite/S-Video). Examples: PAL, NTSC, NTSC 4.43, SECAM.

Tuner system: tuner_system

Broadcast TV standards supported via RF antenna/cable input (if device has a tuner). Leave blank if no tuner.

Power Specifications
AC frequency: frequency
Power consumption: power_avgW (avg) / power_maxW (max)

Voltage Ranges

Add each supported voltage range. For dual-range power supplies (e.g., 100-120V / 220-240V), add each range separately. For universal supplies (e.g., 100-240V), add a single range.

AV voltage range

Voltage range: voltage_minV – voltage_maxV

TBC Capabilities

If this device has time base correction capabilities, add each type. Line TBC corrects timing within individual scan lines (horizontal timing). Frame synchronizer buffers a complete frame and stabilizes frame-level output timing (vertical timing), but does not necessarily correct line-level errors. A device may have one or both — dedicated TBCs like the DataVideo TBC-1000 typically do both, while built-in VCR TBCs are usually line-only and many DVD recorders/mixers are frame synchronizer-only.

Inputs

Add each available input on this AV device. Use the Label field to match the device's own labeling (e.g., "Line 1", "Video 2"). If an S-Video and Composite input share the same audio jacks, give them the same label and use Audio shared with on the one without dedicated audio.
