Watch, capture or record live video from your VCR, camcorder or video camera with the USB Live2 Video Capture Device from Hauppauge. USB Live2 connects to any S-Video or composite video source and plugs into your PC or laptop's USB port. Its video digitizer turns your analog video into digital video, and then sends 30 digital images per second over the USB (1.1 or 2.0) bus. You can bring live video into your PC from the camcorder, VCR or video camera with maximum video format size of 720x480 (NTSC video). Moreover, the indicator LEDs shows that it is powered on and a video signal is present.
