Product Description
ImpactVCB is a low cost family of video capture boards which can be used as the heart of a live video display, real time video capture, streaming video or video conferencing solution.The ImpactVCB board provides image capture from a desktop CCD camera or other analog input. Impact VCB board is a small 1/3 height PCI board based on the Conexant 878A video digitizer chip. It requires a bus-master PCI slot. A VGA card with Direct Draw 3 (or later) capability is required for Live Display. Incoming image is digitized using high quality 4:2:2 video sampling and displayed in a window on the PC's VGA screen. The image is transmitted directly by the ImpactVCB into main system memory or the memory of the VGA adapter for high performance results.

4 out of 5 stars good hardware, software not compatible with vista.   March 13, 2008
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This is excelent video capture hardware, however the factory software is not compatible with windos vista. I was able to use the card anyway using the opensource programs VLC media player, and Virtual dub.

Using VLC there is a 1-2 second delay in the playback, but the image quality is higher.

However, I choose to use the capture preveiw function of Virtualdub instead. I primarily use this card to play video game consoles through my computer moniter, so i need to veiw the video without any delay. virtualdub supports realtime playback.

As of yet this is the only capture card i have found that is capable of producing video without a delay in windows vista, so i am reasonable satisfied with the hardware.
