Converter for analogue sources

The avedio links device turns composite RCA or S-Video signals into a USB 2.0 stream at up to 1920x1080 resolution and 30 Hz. A 3.3 ft attached cable plus a supplied USB-A-to-Type-C adapter let it plug into most current laptops. Windows and macOS are both supported, and the box includes an S-Video cable, an RCA adapter and a driver CD. OBS, PotPlayer and similar capture software work with the hardware.

Suits digitising legacy tapes

Collectors converting VHS, VCR, DVD, camcorder or DVR recordings to digital files will find the RCA and S-Video inputs cover the common analogue formats. NTSC and PAL standards are accepted. The single-channel capture path means only one source can be recorded at a time. Buyers who need simultaneous multi-source recording or HDMI input should look elsewhere.

Maximum capture rate 30 Hz at 1080

The hardware caps output at 1080p 30 Hz, so any source running at a higher frame rate will be down-sampled. This specification decides whether the converter matches the project’s quality target.

Questions about this item

Will the USB 2.0 connection on this capture card work with the USB 2.0 ports on my older laptop?

Yes, the device uses a USB 2.0 interface and includes a USB A to Type-C converter for compatibility with standard USB 2.0 ports on older laptops.

How can I verify the converter is capturing at 1080p 30Hz after I connect my VCR?

Open your capture software such as OBS or Potplayer and check the video settings; the device outputs a maximum resolution of 1920x1080 at 30Hz.

Does the box include the RCA and S-Video cables needed to connect my VHS player, or must I buy them separately?

The packing list includes a 5ft S-Video cable and an RCA converter; the capture card itself has RCA and S-Video inputs, so no separate cables are required for those connections.
