Epiphan VGA2USB™ is the only compact external VGA to USB signal grabber capable of capturing output from virtually any VGA source—such as a Windows PC, a Macintosh OSX, a Unix machine, an embedded system, a medical device, scientific or lab equipment, and more.
It is invaluable in the preparation of documentation, analyzing monitor-less systems and performing quality control on tested systems. It supports any application that requires the acquisition of VGA images, and enhances collaboration sessions.
It is a fully-featured VGA/RGB capture card complete with hardware, USB cable and software that makes it possible to view captured data in real time, save captured images to disk, copy captured images to a clipboard, or setup a periodical "save" command to capture images to disk.
VGA2USB software makes it possible to save and print captured images, to setup a periodical "save" command to capture images to disk or record an AVI file (Windows platform only). In addition to that, VGA2USB software is compatible with DirectShow on Windows and QuickTime on Mac OS X, which allows third-party applications to use VGA2USB as a video input.
