Introduction
Some time ago, I was offered the chance to review a HD video capture card from AVerMedia. At first, I thought perhaps not, then I saw two things about the product that perked my interest:
- Express Card
- Capture Game Video
Why would that get my interest? Well, first, We Got Served is all about Connecting Your Digital World. Games are most definitely a part of that world, even though Terry and I do not discuss games that much (or at all). But I do have one boy who:
- has a laptop, hence an Express Card port
- is an Xbox 360 game fanatic.
He told me once that at one time, he was the #7 ranked Call of Duty 2 player in the world. That does not mean much to me, but it does sound impressive. I thought he might want to capture a bit of his gameplay for YouTube videos, which finally brings me back to the star of today’s review, the AVerMedia AVerTV Express HD DVR.
The AVerMedia AVerTV Express HD DVR allows users to watch and record High Definition video content directly to their Laptop via Component inputs. For the amateur video producer in you, is this the device you need to round out your video production arsenal?
What’s In The Box?
Moving around the outside of the box, we have the nice consumer-style package that gives you an excellent idea of what you are getting
and the horsepower required to make use of this device.
The product comes securely packaged to take the abuses of the shipping companies.
After removing everything from this box, we have the overall contents consisting of
- Quick Installation Guide
- Warranty Card
- Carrying Pouch
- Capture Device
- Stabilizer for use with 54 mm Express Card slots
- 5-in-1 Cable
- Installation CD
Finally, we have a close up of the capture card and umbilical cord.
