1.1 Device Introduction
What is video capture card and what can it do?
Video capture cards are a class of video capture devices designed to plug directly into expansion
slots in personal computers and servers.
A video capture card product typically includes a driver to get the device going and a bundled
software to bring out the best features of it. The bundled software usually further processes the video
for specific purposes. The functions of the video capture cards vary from one another. Some are
used to capture base band analog composite video, S-Video, some are equipped with tuners,
RF-modulated video, some others are specialized cards that support digital video via digital video
delivery standards including Serial Digital Interface (SDI) and some, with the emerging hi-tech HDMI
standard becoming more popular, support both standard definition (SD) and high definition (HD)
variants, and this DarkCrystal HD Capture Pro/AVerTV HD DVR(USA)
to the last model.

The functions of the supplied AVer MediaCenter 3D for video capture cards include converting a live
analog source into some type of analog or digital media, (such as a VHS tape to a DVD), archiving,
