Descripción

Basic, easy to use external RGB/VGA to USB 2.0 capture card
Capture output from any VGA source at up to 1920×1200

Low cost frame grabber capture card for interlaced image capture1

VGA2USB is invaluable in the preparation of documentation, analyzing monitor-less systems and performing quality control on tested systems. It supports any application that requires the acquisition of VGA images, and enhances collaboration sessions.

As a compact external device, VGA2USB is easy to use. About the size of a box of paperclips, it is easily plugged in and requires no additional power, sending a digitized video signal from VGA to USB.

It is a fully-featured VGA/RGB capture card complete with hardware, USB cable and soft­ware that makes it possible to view captured data in real time, save captured images to disk, copy captured images to a clipboard, or setup a periodical “save” command to capture images to disk.

VGA2USB Epiphan Software
Epiphan customers can download free Epiphan Software. Epiphan’s software makes it possible to save and print captured images, to setup a periodical “save” command to capture images to disk or record an AVI file (Windows platform only). In addition to that, VGA2USB software is compatible with DirectShow on Windows and QuickTime on Mac OS X, which allows third-party applications to use VGA2USB as a video input.
