I. Introduction
Capture live video into your computer via the USB port!
Thank you for purchasing the Belkin Components VideoBus™ Adapter.
With the VideoBus™, you can connect your TV, VCR or camcorder to
your computer, and capture images, or even make full motion movies!
The VideoBus™ will accept any NTSC composite video input and
convert it into PC-compatible digital video and image formats.
The Belkin Components® VideoBus™ is the ideal device to bring video
and still images into your computer from various standard video
sources via the USB port. The VideoBus™ enables unparalleled
throughput of up to 30 frames per second, for CIF size color images,
by using Belkin’s advanced compression technology and software.
This gives the user superior live video performance, while using
minimal USB and CPU resources, leaving them available for other
applications.
Live video captured using the VideoBus™ originating from the video
camera, camcorder, VCR or TV tuner, fully complies with Video for
Windows® standard and is compatible with most video and imaging
applications for Microsoft Win98® and Win95®. Video clips can be
incorporated into programs such as Microsoft PowerPoint, Word
Perfect or Lotus Real-Time Notes. You can also stay in touch using
software packages such as Microsoft NetMeeting or White Pine CUSeeMe to hold video conferencing sessions with your relatives,
friends, customers or co-workers across the continent or across the
ocean. The VideoBus™ also gives you the ability to create video E-mail
messages using Zap! Mail or VideoLink Mail by Smith Micro
Software. Best yet, you can be a creative webmaster and
incorporate onto your web site video clips or still images from family
events or business meetings you captured on your camcorder.
Installation is a true Plug-and-Play experience. Install the included
software drivers, plug in the VideoBus™ cable to your PC and attach
your camcorder or any other video source to the VideoBus™ yellow
RCA input jack. Now you are ready to begin capturing live video or
creating amazing images!
