First Impressions
The USB Capture Plus is a light, small device, making it easy to bring with you in a backpack or small bag, so you don’t have to worry about it taking up too much space. It has a scaler built in, which scales up to 2k for recording or streaming.
The USB Capture Plus has not only an SDI In and a USB 3.0 out, but it also has a SDI loop-through, which can be used for additional monitoring. There is also a 3.5mm audio I/O.
With options such as mirroring and flipping, cropping, scaling, de-interlacing, frame rate conversions, and volume controls, the USB Capture device gives you control over your signal before it hits your stream or record on your computer - which can be a great problem-solver depending on your workflow.
