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.
