VHS-to-digital capture box

The Mediasonic VD10 converts analogue video and audio from sources such as VHS, VCR, DVR, DVD, Hi8, Mini DV and retro consoles into digital files. A built-in 3.0 inch LCD and speaker let you preview and play back recordings without a computer. Files are saved directly to a USB drive or TF card with no capacity limit imposed by the device.

Sustained recording behaviour

The unit records continuously at up to 1080P resolution and 30Hz frame rate, storing video as MP4 and audio as MP3 with 48KHz stereo LPCM. Power is drawn from a 5 volt USB-C adapter, so long sessions depend on the external supply rather than an internal battery. High-capacity USB storage should use its own power source to maintain stable operation.

Deciding specification

Maximum recording resolution is 1080P at 30Hz, which determines whether the capture quality matches the source material you intend to digitise. If your workflow requires higher frame rates or resolutions, this converter will not meet that need.

Questions about this item

Does the recorder get hot or noisy when left capturing for hours?

The unit has no fan and draws only 5 volts from its included adapter, so it runs silently and stays cool during extended recording sessions.

Which source device and storage media must I already have to start digitising?

You need a working VHS, VCR, camcorder or other analogue player with RCA or S-Video output, plus a USB drive or TF card (not included) to store the MP4 files.

Will the box up-scale my Hi8 tapes to 1080P for viewing on an HDMI television?

It captures at up to 1080P 30Hz and outputs HDMI, so the digitised files play directly on a modern TV without extra scaling hardware.
