can use to capture video images from virtually any VGA or DVI
source. Some example VGA or DVI sources include personal
computers running any version of Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux,
embedded imaging systems, medical imaging systems, scientific

Using the Epiphan video capture application installed on a video
capture workstation, you can display, record, and print captured
images and broadcast captured images on the Internet.

especially high resolution cameras equipped with VGA signal
