VGA capture at 1080p 30fps

The GRACETOP VGA capture card converts analogue VGA signals to digital USB 2.0 output, capturing video up to 1920×1080 at 30fps with no driver installation. It accepts VGA input at 30Hz and delivers YUV or JPEG video plus L-PCM audio, making it suitable for streaming, teaching, conferencing and live broadcasting on Windows, Mac, Linux and Android devices.

Mic input and bundled cables

A dedicated microphone cable joins the supplied VGA and USB cables so both video and audio travel to the host in one session, removing the need for a separate audio interface. The package also includes a user guide, and the device conforms to UVC and UAC standards, so it works immediately with software such as VLC, OBS and Amcap without extra configuration.

CPU and GPU thresholds for smooth capture

Reliable operation needs at least a desktop i5-3400 or mobile i7-3537U 2.0GHz processor, paired with a discrete GPU equivalent to NVIDIA A25 or GT735M and 4GB of system RAM. The card draws a maximum of 0.4A at 5V from the USB port, so no external power supply is required, but systems below those compute and graphics levels will struggle to maintain full 1080p 30fps capture.

Questions about this item

Will the VGA cable or USB cable need replacing after heavy use?

The unit ships with a 0.5 ft VGA cable and a USB cable; both are standard detachable leads that can be swapped if the connectors wear out.

What resolution ceiling appears first during long capture sessions?

The hardware caps capture at 1920×1080@30Hz, so sustained recording cannot exceed 1080p at 30 fps regardless of source.

How warm does the capture card get and does it need extra power when running all day?

It draws a maximum of 0.4 A at 5 V from the USB port with no external supply, so heat stays low and no separate power adapter is required.
