OVERVIEW
Professional Processing
Captiva allows you to instantly stream, capture, and
record live HD, SD, and computer graphics video
from a laptop or desktop computer using only one
USB 3.0 port. Far more cost effective than
appliance-based solutions, Captiva gives you
incredible performance, quality, and unrivaled
simplicity.
You can scale or clip the HD and SD input signals, to
customize the video to fit your requirements and
bring a more personalized experience. Captiva lets
you adjust colors, image contrast, brightness, color
saturation, hue and Gamma. The brightness and
contrast of R, G, B can be set separately, and it
provides motion-adaptive de-interlacing. The
moving image will have not the phenomenon of
trailing, which ensures a clearer video. Captiva uses
10-bit AD converter to produce great quality, and
the image details are colorful with a high signal-tonoise ratio which reduces the noise and high
frequency color edge artifacts.
No Drama
When doing a live video stream, you can't have
technical drama. If you have tried other low cost
USB 3.0 devices, you'll be pleasantly surprised that
the Captiva works perfectly without driver and
reliability issues. No more cracking the lid and
installing PCIe cards in PCs, and now you can do true
HD streaming from a laptop.
Self Contained
Captiva is powered from the USB 3.0 interface
directly without connecting to heavy power
adapters, making it very easy to carry. You can do a
live dual-channel video shoot with equipment you
carry in just a briefcase.
VGA/DVI Capture
This one device replaces the USB 2.0 or PCIe cards
you need for video + VGA capture, a common
requirement for webcasting seminars, meetings,
and events. Choose the dual HD model to bring in
two HD inputs, or choose the HD + SD model to
bring in conventional SD video plus VGA/DVI. In
either case, Captiva auto-detects the VGA mode,
and you can even switch resolutions without
restarting the system.
Economical
The Captiva USB 3.0 capture devices allow you to
use a portable laptop rather than a full desktop
machine for your live webcasting, and one device
replaces two PCIe cards or USB input devices. Even
when you stream at SD rates, you no longer need to
purchase or carry extra media interface converters
because Captiva accepts just about any video
interface you will encounter, from HDSDI to VGA,
DVI, and composite.
For single channel SD video only Captiva works on
existing USB 2.0 ports.
