ImpactVCB-e PCI Express Video Capture Board 1381

Finally, found the right capture card that works. Easy to install and update. Was Up and running in no timeWindows 10 Pro.

La captura es buena en 480i, pero a diferencia del WinTV Go que tenía en una computadora vieja (pci), no permite la captura cuando la señal de video está protegida con Macrovisión.

good

Having in the past ( XP days ) had several Hauppauge WinTV cards and been fully satisfied with them, when updating to Win7 I was looking for a Hauppauge card for installing in the new setup as Win7 rejected my old card as not compatible.I did not want a tuner card as I have several units connected to my computer through a Smart Scart unit (which auto switches to whatever unit is switched on) these units are two set top boxes, a DVD player, a VHS tape and a digital media box, the outputs from the scart to WinTV card are composite.After much searching of the web I found this Impact VCBe for PCI express slot, and decided that was for me.BUT .... here in the UK they are on sale for £90+, but searching on Amazon.com I found that in the USA they are retailing for approx $55. which seems a fair price.Heart in mouth I ordered from the USA and within 10 days the unit arrived ,well packed and secure. The cost was about £35.00 including postage/shipping.I had read that others have had trouble with this card when fitted to Asus motherboards but I have not had any trouble with my Asus P5KPL-AM fitted with Intel 64 bit processor, my video card is also Asus, ( 0db, silent, 1GB ).The Impact card fitted into the small PCI Express slot , and the supplied Win7 TV disc installed and the program was up and running with no problems.Picture quality is great, and I can again watch TV in small desktop screen while doing other things on the computer (ie surfing web or e mailing)I also like the fact that Hauppauge cards pass the AUDIO through with the VIDEO so no problems with sync when recording. (unlike the Compro cards). As a bonus the card also has HDMI outputFirst class Card, , First class service from the supplier in the USA, and a very fair price..

I had an older Hauppauge Digital Tuner Card from another HP computer I tried to use in my HP G4 Z6 workstation, but wouldn't recognize it as it was from the Windows xp days! The Hauppauge replacement 1381 video capture card works well with my DVD player or other analog video products. The only setback the card converts to the older TS or M2TS video formats, but my Pinnacle video editing software recognizes those formats and I can convert to any other format.Installation was easy and the downloadable app and driver worked as expected. I had to restart the computer twice for it to recognize the video capture card. The video quality is very good, so am happy with the results. You will notice it has 1x4 PCIe Express connector, but after checking the Internet, it works in any of the larger PCIe card connector slots in my G4 computer. Even though the app is an older Windows design, it is still easy to use and record.
