Capture high quality video at up to 1280x1024
Progressive scan, 100% lossless compression Sources power from USB port, no external power supply required Often used in medical, education, and training capture applications Interfaces to multiple 3rd party applications compatible with DirectShow on Windows, QuickTime on Mac OS X and V4L (Video4Linux) on Linux ![]()
VGA2USB Product Description
The VGA2USB LR is best suited for educational, training, industrial, medical, scientific, and security applications where reliability and performance is a must. VGA2USB LR's internal hardware comes with 16MB RAM on board, an advanced VGA ADC and a custom Epiphan FPGA engine and that performs lossless compression on board, thus improving USB bus bandwidth utilization, throughput, and FPS Radar, ultrasound, navigational, security, and microscope imagery is best captured with the VGA2USB LR, as long as the source resolution is kept below 1280 x 1024. The VGA2USB LR is also excellent for capturing from sources with significant movement from frame to frame. For higher resolutions, please see VGA2USB HR, VGA2USB PRO, VGA2Ethernet, VGA2Ethernet PRO or VGA2PCIe VGA2USB LR Form Factor, Packaging and Interfaces About the size of a box of paperclips, the VGA2USB LR’s solid casing is made entirely of aluminum. ![]() ![]() ![]() Software Download |
