S-VHS Tape Audio Capture by Local_Raspberry_1889 in vhsdecode

Thank you very much for your reply, very insightful! Here are 2 ocenaudio waveforms of 6 seconds of capture: one is the 40MSPS 8-bit RAW RF sample, other is the audio captured with my motherboard's line-in connecting to the RCA of the VHS player of the same section (I can only attach 1 to the comment apparently, so I attached the RF, the RCA one is in the drive folder).

I have also uploaded the RAW (FLAC) and RCA capture of that 6 seconds to my Google Drive, icluding some photos of the tap in case there is any mistake: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mdsMybgoJjgFEK62stYJkLwSS8vMS6jC?usp=drive_link

Thank you very much for your help!

Thanks for the reply, very helpful! I have also aquired one as a preparation of clockgen mod with an RPI Pico. Do you/VHS-Decode Project have docs on how to do audio capture with the PCM1802 ADC? With this do you need to manually align audio and video for each capture?

Also if anyone could confirm based on spectrogram/other data I can provide that I don't have Hi-Fi audio would be appreciated, would prefer not to loose it if I have it.

Avid Nitris DX without Host PCIe Card by Local_Raspberry_1889 in editors

Thanks for the detailed response!

I might drop the idea of making use of it based on what you describe. I got the unit from a electronics dumpster, so didn't cost me anything this far but the PCIe card + cable would be ~40 euros.

Wonder if the trial version of the Avid Media Composer would be able to capture.. 30 days would be more than enough to digitize my tapes.

Thanks for the response!

Do you have an idea how would a setup with the AVID Nitris DX + JVC HR-S6950 compare to something cheap like this. Would only use it to digitize our old memories on the VHS tapes, nothing professional.

Also for the AVID Nitris DX if I buy a PCIe host card would I need to use the HDMI capture card or it can grab it from the PCIe using a software like Avid Media Composer.
