Elgato 1VC104001001 Video Capture USB

Elgato 1VC104001001 Video Capture USB is intended for converting older analog video sources into a digital format through a computer. According to the source material, it uses USB 2.0, supports Mac and Windows, and captures from RCA composite and S-Video sources.

The capture resolutions listed are 640 x 480 in 4:3 and 640 x 360 in 16:9. Anyone who has worked with VHS tapes, older camcorders, or analog playback devices knows that the main job is getting the signal into the computer cleanly. This keeps the path simple: analog video in, USB capture out.

Why It Helps

Analog video usually comes from equipment that was never built for modern editing software. A USB capture device gives those older sources a direct way into the computer without needing a larger capture system.

The included composite video and RCA stereo cable also helps with basic transfer work. Instead of looking for analog leads before starting the job, the main cable needed for many playback devices is already in the box.
