Do you use any image capturing device? I just read that there are 2 New High Resolution DVI Frame Grabbers by Epiphan Systems as announced by them. By using these device, you will be able to capture high quality pristine images with it. It uses the DVI single-link or DVI dual-link signals depending on which device you are referring to. The DVI2USB Solo and the DVI2USB Duo are their latest new products add to their DVI2USB line of high resolution external frame grabbers.

Check out the comparison chart. You can see that both the DVI2USB Solo and DVI2USB Duo are the only external DVI frame grabber which is able to capture images without any loss of quality. It can even do frame capture rates at thirty frames per second at the resolutions of 1920 x 1200 pixels to 2048 x 2048 pixels. Well, of course this too depends on which one of these device are you using.

By the way, both of these devices can compress video streams in real time which is why it can have a fast file transfer without losing image quality. How fast do you think that the DVI2USB Duo is transferring images at? Is 330 megapixels per second fast enough for you? If you are getting either the DVI2USB Solo or the DVI2USB Duo, Epiphan Systems Inc. will be providing with all of the free software capture software that you will need. They have made it light enough as it is suppose to be portable. The weight of the DVI2USB Solo is at 90 grams while the DVI2USB Duo is 300 grams.

I don’t mind getting one of these device but right now, it is way above my budget. Their VGA2USB will be perfect for me now as I hardly do any capturing with DVI. All I need is to just capture images at a low resolution as I need to post it up. For a full details of both devices specification, do check out the Epiphan.com website. Below is the press release of the announcement made by Epiphan.

Press Release:

The DVI2USB Solo, as part of the only external DVI frame grabber line on the market, is intended as a solution for those who would like to capture lossless images from single-link DVI sources, while the DVI2USB Duo is made for those that have dual-link DVI capture in mind. Both devices have capture rates of 30 frames per second at any supported DVI resolution, being up to 1920×1200 for DVI2USB Solo and 2048×2048 for DVI2USB Duo.

Both devices employ Epiphan’s revolutionary lossless compression technology, making them perfect for those that need to capture the high-quality and high-resolution picture that you would expect from a DVI source. Just like with the rest of Epiphan’s frame grabbers, the user is able to capture to still image as well as AVI movie, broadcast the captured image over the internet, and print or record the captured image with the touch of a button using Epiphan’s VGA Printer and VGA Recorder products.

What sets the DVI2USB Solo and Duo apart from other frame grabbers on the market is their ability to capture 100% lossless diagnostic-quality images at a capture rate of up to 30 frames per second. The DVI2USB Duo is able to transfer images at up to 330 megapixels a second, compressing the stream on-the-fly, meaning that the captured images are translated from the source to the destination machine without any delay.

Both devices are able to capture from any source that is VESA-compatible, including Windows and Unix machines, embedded devices, medical hardware, scientific and lab equipment, and more. What’s more, the DVI2USB devices are extremely easy to use and can be mastered in a matter of minutes. Capture software is available as a free download from Epiphan Systems’ website, however, because both devices employ WDM drivers, virtually any other software made for capturing video or still images is compatible.

Similar to the rest of the devices in Epiphan’s VGA2USB and DVI2USB line of frame grabbers, both the DVI2USB Solo and DVI2USB Duo devices are lightweight and portable, yet made with rugged, aluminum casing. The DVI2USB Solo weighs in at just 90 grams and is about the size of a small box of paperclips. The DVI2USB Duo, meanwhile, has the weight of 300 grams and is about the size of a small paperback novel. Because of their compact design, both devices can be transferred between different sources with ease.
