INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Manhattan® Hi-Speed USB Audio/Video Grabber,
Model 162579.

Ideal for sharing favorite video clips or “snapshots” through e-mail or on the Web,
the Hi-Speed USB Audio/Video Grabber records and processes data from your
camcorder, TV or other media device equipped with S-video or RCA outputs: Just
connect the media source to a desktop or notebook computer to capture, convert
and edit content. A single-button control with LED indicators activates a built-in
chip that encodes directly in MPEG 1/2/4 format, and a full version of the
application software is included to help get more professional results with minimal

technical prociency.

By following the instructions in this user manual — or the simpler setup procedure
in the printed quick install guide included with the product — you’ll soon be enjoying
these popular features:

• Simple, single-button video snapshot and copy-and-pause control

• Plug-and-play installation – requires no batteries or external power

• Compact, lightweight design ideal for travel and notebook computers

• Lifetime Warranty (For a complete list of country-specic warranties, go to
