Indicator LED details

The color and action of the indicator LED depends on whether you are connected by USB 3.0 or USB 2.0. For maximum performance, always use a USB 3.0 port and the included USB 3.0 cable. Note that frame capture rate will be reduced when connected via USB 2.0.

If you’re not sure if your controller is USB 3.0 or USB 2.0, plug DVI2USB 3.0 into the capture computer and look at the indicator LED (note that test this assumes there is no video source plugged into the video grabber):


A flashing blue LED means USB 3.0

A flashing green LED means USB 2.0
