Capture 720P video from analogue sources

This USB capture card converts composite RCA or S-Video signals into a digital 720P stream for a PC or Mac. It is intended for anyone who needs to digitise footage from VHS, Hi8, Mini DV or VCR tapes without installing an internal card. No external power supply is required. The device draws power directly from the USB port.

Upgrade from software-only or legacy capture methods

The adapter replaces the need for a dedicated sound card or an older capture box when transferring analogue recordings. The jump is worthwhile when the source material uses RCA or S-Video outputs and the goal is a simple USB connection to modern operating systems including Windows Vista and later or Mac OS. It works with free acquisition software such as OBS Studio, PotPlayer or QuickTime Player.

Sustained capture with automatic driver installation

Once plugged in the driver installs automatically so long sessions can start without manual configuration. The hardware processes the analogue signal continuously while the host software handles recording and brightness, contrast, hue and saturation adjustments. No active cooling is mentioned so the unit relies on passive operation during extended transfers.
