Features at a glance
VGA2USB is Epiphan’s lowest priced video grabber. It’s durable, autonomous design and compact size make it an ideal companion for AV professionals. It slips into a laptop case or shirt pocket making it easy to transport between locations and integrate into existing systems. Professionals tasked with creating and recording slide shows, training sessions, how to videos, and recording output from scientific devices can capture video from any VGA source within a few minutes.
VGA2USB is a full-featured VGA/RGB video grabber complete with hardware, USB cable and software capable of capturing video from any screen, displaying captured data in real time, saving captured video and images to disk, copying captured images to a clipboard, or recording captured images as a series of consecutively saved files. Furthermore, VGA2USB is compatible with virtually any third party software that supports an external video device or webcam, including Skype and Windows Media Encoder.
VGA2USB is self-powered through the USB port, and requires no additional power; it sends a digitized video signal from VGA to USB. When choosing a video grabber or recorder, it is important to consider the video content. If you plan to capture fast moving video it’s best to choose a video grabber that captures video at a high frame rate versus capturing a slide presentation or x-ray results where capturing at a high frame rate is not critical to your video recording.
Epiphan recommends VGA2USB for customers who need to capture video from VGA sources at resolutions up to 1920×1200 at low frame rates. Professionals who require a video grabber capable of capturing analog and digital signals at higher resolutions and frame rates, check out Epiphan’s DVI2USB 3.0.
