The Demo Video Creator's Dream Come True At last, there is an affordable, easy-to-use solution for capturing video for use in demonstration and training videos. Pegasus' inputs include S-Video, YUV and RGB analog and HDMI*, making it ready for today's range of video game consoles. With the included converter cable, you can also capture VGA output - ideal for creating tutorials of your software. But it doesn't end there, as Pegasus can also capture external two-channel analog audio, and up to eight channels of embedded audio via HDMI.And since Pegasus is a hardware-based image capture solution, there’s no need to worry about system specifications allowing for real-time, full frame rate, high resolution video capture. Onboard Canopus HQ Codec Chip - Capture with the Best Already a prominent part of Grass Valley's EDIUS line of NLE solutions, the Canopus HQ codec offers supreme visual quality without the excessive hard disk storage costs normally associated with HD video ingest. With Pegasus, you can be assured that the HD video content you output from your HD sources will be perfectly preserved, ready for you to either edit, author to DVD, Blu-Ray or HD-DVD, or store for later usage. Because the input quality is so clean, subsequent conversions to other distribution formats - such as mobile phones or the Web - are cleaner too. Pegasus includes the Canopus Codec Pack for you to incorporate your captured HQ AVI files into any Windows®-based video application. Key Features
