ExtremeCap U3 is a USB 3.0 capture box that allows you to capture, record, and stream stunning 1080p 60fps videos via HDMI, as well as other component inputs from HD camcorders, set-top boxes, and any HD video sources. ExtremeCap U3 also works with all DirectShow-compliant software such as XSplit, Wirecast, Adobe Premiere Pro CS, Sony Vegas, VLC media player, PotPlayer, and more.
DSLR users may find ExtremeCap U3 practical for several reasons. Its smooth video quality results from transmitting uncompressed videos at 1080p 60 fps, double the amount of frames for video editing (1080p 30fps), and from encoding into YUV 4:2:2 instead of 4:2:0. Plus, users can enjoy a recording time of over 30 minutes, surpassing the time constraints of DSLR video. Given these qualities, ExtremeCap U3 is a must-have accessory for DSLR filmmakers.
