Capture video from conferences and training seminars with Epiphan VGA2USB frame grabbers

FullView Media is an online media marketing company specializing in webcasts, webinars, podcasts and virtual conferences. It provides solutions that allow companies to harness the power of web-based audio and video in order to increase sales, communicate internally and reach the target audience.

The company needs to capture video from conferences and training seminars. This content is used during organizing webcasts, podcasts, webinars and web conferences. For these needs  FullView Media uses two modifications of the VGA2USB frame grabber from Epiphan:  VGA2USB LR and VGA2USB HR. Lenny Ferreira of FullView Media explains its company’s choice: “Before making the final choice on what image capturing solution should be used, we performed a serious marketing research on this subject. First we tried Datapath RGB Pro capture card. It is a fine product although it did not meet our size requirements. As experience has shown, VGA2USB provides a considerably higher quality of capturing images and has more justified our choice. Besides, this compact frame grabber is easy to use and does not require additional power supply. “

VGA2USB captures images and video from any VGA source. It is offered by Epiphan in multiple modifications. VGA2USB LR features 16 MB RAM, FPGA (field-programmable gate array), and Philips VGA ADC (Analog-to-digital converter). This solution captures images at resolution up to 1280×1022 with at least 30 fps. Unlike LR model, VGA2USB HR has 32 MB RAM and while capturing images achieves resolution of 1600×1200.

Web conferencing is an advanced technology that has emerged as a powerful and effective solution for the communication needs of a company. It allows participants to support training collaboration and product development. Web conferencing is a close substitute of face-to-face meetings and successfully replaces them among sales teams increasing productivity and saving travel costs. This facility can be used for multiple purposes like sales, marketing, training, team collaboration and live customer support. It is very popular among the companies who train their staff, hold meetings between business partners at different geographical locations providing smooth and effective coordination of their activities.
