check input levels in mixer?

Well, at least they have english-speaking site, so you can ask few tech
questions there?

But you can try to chase some of those new ms2130  (!) devices ....

some ppl on videohelp forum use avermedia's usb unit for attempted 576i
capture, but device outputs pseudo-progressive, so for recovering
interlaced signal you need some processing anyway ?!

https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/406125-Panasonic-DMR-Avermedia-Extremecap-Virtualdub-refuse-to-capture-576i-UT

also, as timesink you can check ld-decode thread in same subforum, project
definitely alive but requires real hardware mods to vcr and yet another
capture card for capturing raw RF signal from tape head!
