The USB Adapter, from ClearOne, formerly VideoLabs, is the ultimate USB video

connector for cameras or other video devices with built-in video and audio ports. The

USB Adapter provides a convenient, easy way to capture video, audio, or still images

through your computer.

The USB Adapter features a video pass-through connector that allows you to output

your video capture to a TV or VCR. This makes it possible to simultaneously view or

record your video image on a TV or VCR and capture it on the computer.
