How the IMPACT-VCB-E works

Impact VCB-E is a Windows video capture PCI Express card. It can be used for
digitizing and compressing video from video cameras, video tape recorders, Set-top
box’s and other devices which create analog video signals.

Included with Impact-VCB-E are two applications:

- WinTV v7, which is used for displaying live video on your PC screen and to create
video recordings,

- ArcSoft ShowBiz, to capture your analogue videos, edit them and burn to Video DVD.
When recording live video with the WinTV v7 application, Impact-VCB-E creates a .TS
(transport stream) file. Using options in the WinTV v7 application, you can also create
.MPEG files.
ArcSoft ShowBiz can capture your analogue videos to disk, edit them and burn to Video
DVD, also allow to post videos on YouTube.
Impact-VCB-E which uses BDA capture devices, which will be compatible with most
video applications which use WDM capture devices.
