Hello All,
I need a analog capture device either PCI card or USB 2.0.
I saw the ADS Pyro AV Link, it looks good, Just like to here from someone who has used it or if you could tell me of a different one that cost no more then $200 us.
I myself use the Canopus REX RT cards which cost over 2,500 us when new. I need this other one for a co-worker who doesn't want to spend too much.
Thanks in advance

Canopus do the ADVC-50 and ADVC-100 that do the same thing website. The 100 is bi-directional, the 50 is one-way (analogue to digital) only. If all you need is the latter, they list at $199 in America. You can install them as a standard PCI card, or else the card fits into a box that then installs in a 5-¼" bay.

Both the ADS and the Canopus are pretty good, the Canopus is slightly better quality - both seem fine at maintaining A/V synchronisation.
