What the capture card does

The VIXLW BR116 converts analogue RCA composite or S‑Video sources into a digital USB stream. It is intended for anyone transferring VHS, VCR, Hi8, DV or camcorder tapes to a PC or Mac for archiving or editing.

Limits of the USB 2.0 interface

Output is fixed at 720p at 25 Hz, so higher resolutions or frame rates cannot be captured. The device relies on the host USB 2.0 port for power and data, and it requires third‑party acquisition software such as OBS Studio, PotPlayer or QuickTime Player to record.

Build and everyday connections

The grey adapter weighs 0.03 kilograms and includes a short USB extension cable for easier port access. One composite RCA jack, one S‑Video port and stereo RCA audio inputs handle both video and sound without needing a separate sound card. Drivers install automatically on Windows XP through 10 and Mac OS 10.15.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the RCA or the S-Video input for my VHS deck?

Use the S-Video input if your VCR has an S-Video port; it keeps luminance and chroma separate for a cleaner picture. Otherwise the composite RCA jack works with any standard VHS, Hi8 or DV device.

What does the 720p 25 Hz output mean when I am capturing?

The card digitises the analogue signal at 720 horizontal lines and 25 frames per second, matching the PAL frame rate so each tape frame becomes one digital frame without interpolation.

The box says USB 2.0 — does that limit the capture quality?

USB 2.0 provides enough bandwidth for the 720p 25 Hz stream, so the interface does not reduce the advertised resolution or frame rate.
