VGA Splitter - Ground Loop Isolator - An appliance that splits a VGA source port into one Ground Loop Isolated VGA port, and a second fault-tolerant pass through VGA output port. Unlike traditional Y-splitter cables and active splitters, this product connects to your existing VGA cable, intercepts the VGA signals, amplifies the signals, and then generates a second ground loop isolated VGA output port.
VGA2PCIe - An internal PCI express-based frame grabber capture card designed for users that require high precision industrial VGA capture using an internal solution. VGA2PCIe can capture VGA streams at resolutions of up to 1920×1200 in a 24-bit palette, and is able to achieve a maximum capture rate of 85 frames per second.
VGA Broadcaster Lite - An appliance that captures VGA, DVI/HDMI video and audio signals, encodes on-the-fly to standard protocols such as H.264, MPEG 4, MJPEG and streams over the Internet via HTTP using standard browsers and viewers. VGA Broadcaster Lite is ideal for WAN and LAN applications as an alternative approach to streaming uncompressed display signals over Ethernet networks.
VGA Recorder Lite - An appliance that captures VGA, DVI/HDMI video and audio signals, encodes on the fly to standard protocols such as H.264, MPEG 4, MJPEG and records the output to local storage, accessible via http with built in webserver, FTP, and automatic copy features. Compressing and encoding the on the fly saves time in pre-production of videos.
