Our take on the Sima CT-2 GoDVD!

The GoDVD! model CT-2 video enhancer from Sima makes it easy to protect your collection of home videos and prerecorded movies. Just connect this compact device between your playback source (VCR, camcorder or DVD player) and a DVD recorder. The CT-2 stabilizes video signals to reduce video sync noise and other artifacts, ensuring optimal video quality for your DVD copies. (If you don't have a DVD recorder, you can send the output to a VCR for VHS copies, but this unit is really designed with the superior quality of DVD in mind.)

The CT-2 is great for making archival DVD copies of your camcorder-captured home movies or irreplaceable old VHS movies. Three enhancement modes let you brighten dimly lit home movies, darken overly bright videos, or convert color sources into black and white. The CT-2 offers S-video and composite video inputs and outputs, and accepts virtually any video source, including VHS, S-VHS, DVD, DV, Hi-8, and 8mm. It can even convert PAL-formatted video to NTSC, or vice versa.

Details:

  • stabilizes video signals for optimal picture quality
  • four video modes: normal, enhanced, dark, and black & white
  • accepts NTSC and PAL video sources, and can convert video signals from one format to the other

Overview: Go DVD! allows you to make duplicates of your video library in order to protect your video investment. Connections to the Go DVD! should be made between the playback VCR, DVD, or camcorder and the recording DVD or VCR. The unit will also allow you to convert your videos from NTSC to PAL, and PAL to NTSC. Note: Regardless of which input is used, both the S-Video and Composite Video output will deliver video output. The unit automatically detects whether the input signal is NTSC or PAL.

NTSC/PAL Switch: This device can be used to convert NTSC broadcast programs to the European PAL format, and PAL programs to the NTSC format. The switch that determines the output format is on the right side of the Go DVD! device.

Input Select: You can select which input to use with the Input Select switch on top of the unit. The LED indicator next to the switch will glow green when you select the composite input, and orange when you choose the S-Video input.

Mode Select Button: This button, located on the side of the unit, allows you to cycle through four video enhancements to enhance your copy of the original. The choices of enhancements are as follows: Normal, Enhanced, Darken, B&W. The LED indicator will glow solid when Normal is selected, and will blink when Enhanced, Darken, and B&W are selected.
