NAB 2015: New Marshall USB 3.0 Converters Are Simple Solution to HDMI and SDI Computer Input
Marshall Electronics brings USB 3.0 to production and web conferencing applications with two new USB 3.0 converters: the VAC-11HU3 HDMI to USB 3.0 and the VAC-11SU3 SDI to USB 3.0. Both converters enable easy conversion and support video formats ranging from standard definition up to 1080p60 including 1920 x 1200p60. Practical applications include adapting a professional video camera as a high quality web cam or ingesting HDMI or SDI video into a computer for recording, editing or other file based applications.
Marshall’s USB 3.0 converters are designed to satisfy the demand for speed and high quality in production environments, connected workspaces and classrooms. They complement video editing, format conversion, color correction, teleconferencing and other computer video applications. The converters have been tested with Windows® Media Encoder, Adobe® Flash Media Live Encoder, Real Producer Plus, VLC, QuickTime Broadcast, QuickTime Player, Wirecast, Skype™, Microsoft® Lync®, and Go To Meeting™.
Installation and operation are simple. The converters are quickly recognized by the computer and no driver installation is required. Processing of audio and video does not burden the CPU.
