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.
