RCA AV to USB-C Video Capture Adapter

This adapter converts composite RCA and S-Video sources into a USB-C signal for mobile phones and PCs. It accepts NTSC and PAL formats from devices such as VHS players, DVD recorders, TV boxes or CCTV cameras. No driver installation is required for basic operation on supported hosts.

Plug-and-play capture with snapshot function

The device captures video at up to 720×480 (NTSC 30 fps) or 720×576 (PAL 25 fps) and offers a lower 320×240 mode at 30/25 fps. A hardware snapshot button saves still images as BMP or JPEG files. Recorded audio and video remain synchronised during capture sessions.

Suited for legacy analogue sources.

Users digitising tapes, surveillance feeds or standard-definition game footage will find the resolution and frame-rate adequate. Buyers who need high-definition capture, HDMI input or multi-channel audio recording should look at a different class of capture hardware.

Questions about this item

Will the RCA or S-Video cables need replacing after heavy use?

The adapter uses standard RCA and S-Video connectors; cables can be swapped if they wear out, but the unit itself has no user-replaceable parts.

What resolution ceiling appears first during long captures?

Maximum capture is 720×480 at 30 fps NTSC or 720×576 at 25 fps PAL; higher resolutions are not supported.

Does the adapter get hot or draw extra power when recording all day?

It is bus-powered from the USB-C port with no external supply, so heat and power draw stay low during extended sessions.
