Best Startech Capture Cards

This PCIe video capture card lets you record 1080p HD video and 2-channel stereo audio (HDMI/RCA) to your computer system. With multiple video inputs, including HDMI, DVI, VGA and component, this all-in-one capture card can record original content from virtually any device. You can install the card into any low-profile or full-profile PCIe slot, including fixed workstations such as 2U or 4U rack-mounted servers or media centers. Installing your capture device internally through PCIe ensures a secure and reliable way to capture video. With frame rates up to 60fps (frames per second) and H.264 encoding, this card is perfect for capturing high-definition video for editing, compiling, and archiving. The capture card supports 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios and lets you record lossless video at 60fps. This ensures that every frame of content is saved, unlike 30fps capture devices that only capture half the action. 60fps exactly matches the output of most computer video cards, which makes this capture card great for recording the output from your PC, server, or point-of-sale station, when creating software training and tutorial videos. The included software encodes captured video in H.264 -- the most widely adopted video compression standard in the world. This ensures your video captures are compatible with most device platforms such as PC, Mac, iOS and Android. The software not only lets you capture and export videos, but it also lets you take screenshots, schedule recordings and instantly stream your video source over the internet using online services such as Twitch, and others. This HD capture card can record lossless raw video, which makes it compatible with MicrosoftDirectShow. This means you can record video using your preferred third-party DirectShow software, such as Open Broadcaster Software (OBS). The PEXHDCAP60L2 is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
