Grab and Go USB Video Capture for VGA, DVI, and HDMI

After trying a similar type of device from a different vendor that did not work well, I was very skeptical about trying this. However, my concerns were eliminated literally within minutes of installing it as it worked perfectly and easily right out of the box. Using it with a Windows 10 machine, you can verify operation using nothing but the regular built in Windows Camera app which can take images of single frames or can record video also. Thus, without even installing any software at all on a Windows 10 machine, you can grab images and video in less than a minute after simply plugging it in. No exaggeration! Physically, it feels very sturdy and does not get hot to the touch like I've experienced with other vendor's similar devices. Still true even after it has been on for about a week straight now. The capture quality is excellent and I'm very pleased with the simplicity. Unlike some other similar devices I've seen, you do not even need to know what format you source video is in. Whatever your capture software opens the device as in terms of capture format, the hardware will scale it appropriately and does a very good job of doing so. So if your input video is in 1080p and you want to capture 720p, you do not need to do any configuration of the device or do any transcoding after capture. Very nice! Only drawbacks I noticed: Even though the device appears to be brand new, there was a newer firmware available that I installed. Only took a couple minutes to rectify, simply due to you need to go to their website and download it. No software included in the box at all. Also, would love for them to provide a utility which can report the format of the incoming video as I've seen with some other vendors. Would be a very nice to have feature.
