External Frame Grabbers

Having short class today! Got to go to take blood test today for HIV test which is needed for our university medical check up. Ours check up was scheduled on the next Tuesday.

After 2 hours of to and back from the HIV test, tiring feeling slowly overwhelming me. But still, I got to cook myself a dinner first, feeling so hungry after the long journey to the HIV test. While preparing the dinner, I sat down in front of my computer to search for a new camera. Because my old camera is wearing out, so got to find a new one, latest one, and good one to replace the old one.

While searching for it, I found this DVI and VGA Signal Grabbers by Epiphan Systems


A small review about them:
VGA2USB line of frame grabbers is the world’s only external solution to VGA capture.
This frame grabbers start at a price $300 and have the ability to capture images at resolutions of up to 2048x2048.

DVI2USB line of frame grabbers allows you to capture both single-link and dual-link DVI signals with ease. Furthermore, using Epiphan’s advanced compression technology, these frame grabbers are able to achieve a resolution of 30fps under many resolutions.

Others products such as:

Worry of their quality? Well, they have lots of good testimony from their customers!
These are a few example of it for your reference:

“It was very timely to find exactly the tool we needed from Epiphan. We can now get EXACTLY the same image that you see on the ultrasound machine to an expert at the other end; everyone is just amazed at how good the images look.”
- Jack Butler, IT Progam Manager

“Today, the most important component of our video capture system is VGA2USB. We now capture the VGA signal sent from the presenter’s computer to the classroom data projector using Epiphan’s VGA2USB. Epiphan’s VGA2USB solution gives us the high-resolution JPEG images our automated screencasting system needs to meet the expectations of our audience”
- David Aldrich, CSSITG Manager

Press Release:

The DVI2USB Solo, as part of the only external DVI frame grabber line on the market, is intended as a solution for those who would like to capture lossless images from single-link DVI sources, while the DVI2USB Duo is made for those that have dual-link DVI capture in mind. Both devices have capture rates of 30 frames per second at any supported DVI resolution, being up to 1920x1200 for DVI2USB Solo and 2048x2048 for DVI2USB Duo.

Both devices employ Epiphan's revolutionary lossless compression technology, making them perfect for those that need to capture the high-quality and high-resolution picture that you would expect from a DVI source. Just like with the rest of Epiphan's frame grabbers, the user is able to capture to still image as well as AVI movie, broadcast the captured image over the internet, and print or record the captured image with the touch of a button using Epiphan's VGA Printer and VGA Recorder products.

What sets the DVI2USB Solo and Duo apart from other frame grabbers on the market is their ability to capture 100% lossless diagnostic-quality images at a capture rate of up to 30 frames per second. The DVI2USB Duo is able to transfer images at up to 330 megapixels a second, compressing the stream on-the-fly, meaning that the captured images are translated from the source to the destination machine without any delay.

Both devices are able to capture from any source that is VESA-compatible, including Windows and Unix machines, embedded devices, medical hardware, scientific and lab equipment, and more. What's more, the DVI2USB devices are extremely easy to use and can be mastered in a matter of minutes. Capture software is available as a free download from Epiphan Systems' website, however, because both devices employ WDM drivers, virtually any other software made for capturing video or still images is compatible.

Similar to the rest of the devices in Epiphan's VGA2USB and DVI2USB line of frame grabbers, both the DVI2USB Solo and DVI2USB Duo devices are lightweight and portable, yet made with rugged, aluminum casing. The DVI2USB Solo weighs in at just 90 grams and is about the size of a small box of paperclips. The DVI2USB Duo, meanwhile, has the weight of 300 grams and is about the size of a small paperback novel. Because of their compact design, both devices can be transferred between different sources with ease.
