Key Features

Capture any VGA signal at up to 2048x2048 resolution
Up to 60 frames per second depending on content being captured
Encased in solid aluminum
Used for RADAR imaging, ATC/ATM images, remote security monitoring, control room displays and other applications that require a high level of precision
Interfaces to multiple 3rd party applications compatible with DirectShow on Windows, QuickTime on Mac OS X and V4L (Video4Linux) on Linux
Available in compact form factor, internal card or packaged with multiple units in a rackmount system

Encased in solid aluminum, this device uses the most advanced Epiphan custom FPGA and Philips ADC in order to achieve pixel rates of 270 Megapixels per second, on board cropping, integrated color space conversion, USB Transfer Accelerator™, and Compression Booster Filters™. This is Epiphan Systems’ most powerful USB 2.0 VGA frame grabber.

Epiphan's custom FPGA performs lossless compression on board, thus increasing USB bus utilization efficiency, throughput and effective frame rates. With VGA2USB Pro lossless 2048 x 2048 with 30 fps is achievable in the majority of applications.

In military, scientific, industrial, and educational applications which require the capture of a VGA signal in ultra-high precision, the VGA2USB Pro is the frame grabber of choice.

While being the same physical size as the other devices in the VGA2USB family, the VGA2USB Pro provides the user with a sharp and diagnostic-quality picture at any given resolution.

An SDK, WDM drivers, and DirectShow API is included for those users that need to integrate the VGA2USB Pro into their custom applications.

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.
VGA2USB-RM - Rack mount package, configurable with up to 6 VGA2USB units in a size 1U rack • Ideal solution for creating capture farms.
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.
