USB video capture device
Daystar Technology has launched the XLR8 ProView USB, a full-screen USB 2.0 video capture device for Mac systems. The XLR8 ProView USB delivers 29.97 FPS (frames per second) video via QuickTime, and accepts audio/video from any standard device through S-Video or standard RCA connectors. The device can capture in raw video format, or from any QuickTime-compressed format. ProView USB captures 640 x 480 resolution boasting 29.97 FPS with no dropped frames, and digitization of video from any standard analog device allows users to capture video from VHS, BetaMax, DVDs, or CDs directly onto a Mac. The XLR8 ProView USB package includes the USB 2.0-to-S-Video/Composite device and an RCA Stereo to Mini-jack for audio, while QuickTime handles the audio/video. The XLR8 ProView USB is priced at $99, and requires Mac OS X 10.3.5 or later.
