Magewell Pro Capture DVI HD Capture Card (One Channel)

Pro Capture DVI supports multiple cards per system and unlimited output streams for any one input channel with independently adjustable parameters per stream. Additional features include ultra-low latency, timestamp and A/V synchronization, and LED status indicators. The card supports both Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems, with multiple APIs for Windows and Linux, and with Windows SDKs for easier integration.
