It is compatible with resolutions of up to 2048x2048 (2560x1600) and can capture computer generated images at a rate of up to 60 frames per second using an on board state-of-the-art lossless compression algorithm, making it ideal for precision applications such as air traffic control.

DVI2USB Duo Key Features

DVI2USB DUO Connection Diagram

DVI2USB Duo is the world's fastest dual link DVI capture device.

Being a frame grabber specifically made for those that need to capture the high-quality and high-resolution of a dual-link DVI video signal, DVI2USB Duo acquires frames at a transfer rate of up to 330 megapixels per second, compressing the stream on-the-fly and transfer compressed stream onto a computer using USB interface. It then has the ability to record and/or transmit these images over public, private or broadband wireless networks, enabling remote diagnosis of high resolution medical displays, air traffic control displays, control room monitors, and other situations in which a precise image of a high resolution video display source is required for accurate decision-making or replay.

DVI2USB DUO uses Epiphan Systems' cutting edge compression algorithm in order to provide lossless 100% quality images. DVI2USB DUO also allows you to:
