 |
|
I am wanting to know which video graphics cards have *video in* capability.
From what I can tell, the nvidia GeForce 7300LE and GeForce 7350LE cards do
have that capability, and would serve to do video capture from an external
source. But not all video graphics card have that capability. How do I
determine whether a particular graphics card does support video in, and
where might be a good resource to find out. Thanks. |

Many video cards have "video out". The ad copy may mention S-video out
or HDTV out, for example. That is only half the function you want, but
it is very common. Even cheap cards can have some video output capability,
like composite for example.
Fewer cards have VIVO. VIVO is video-in and video-out. That gives the
video input function, which is missing from most cards.
On Newegg, you can select video cards, and set "VIVO = yes" in the search
engine. These are the cards for sale with VIVO on them.

Another way to get the function you want, is to buy a separate video display
card and a video capture card. The capture card would be able to capture from
composite or s-video input. The video card would have a TV output capability,
or perhaps even Component (RGB) in some cases. But the more reviews I
read of capture cards, the harder it is to find something with no
compromises. In some cases, older cards seem to be less troublesome
than the new stuff.
Good luck in your search,
