VGA2USB - External VGA Signal Grabber
VGA2USB is the only compact external VGA signal grabber capable of
capturing output from virtually any VGA source—such as a Windows PC, a
Macintosh OSX, a Unix machine, an embedded system, a medical device,
scientific or lab equipment, and more.
It is invaluable in the preparation of documentation, analyzing
monitor-less systems and performing quality control on tested systems.
It supports any application that requires the acquisition of VGA
images, and enhances collaboration sessions.
As a compact external device, VGA2USB is easy to use. About the size
of a box of paperclips, it is easily plugged in and requires no
additional power.
It is a fully-featured VGA/RGB capture product complete with
hardware, USB cable and software that makes it possible to view
captured data in real time, save captured images to disk, copy captured
images to a clipboard, or setup a periodical "save" command to capture
images to disk.
Software development kits are also available for specialized applications.
