## Long description

The StarTech SVID2USB232 USB Video Capture Adapter Cable converts analog composite and S-Video signals into a USB 2.0 stream for digitizing VHS tapes, camcorder recordings and other analog media on Windows computers. The compact black adapter uses the EM28281 chipset and supports NTSC, PAL and SECAM formats with a maximum capture frame size of 720×576 pixels. The cable includes S-Video and composite video inputs plus two RCA audio inputs and a USB‑A output for easy connection to desktop or laptop PCs. This product is intended for use with Windows systems and provides TWAIN-compatible drivers to work with a range of capture and editing software.
Advantages
The adapter offers simple analog-to-digital conversion without the need for an external capture box, combining video and stereo audio inputs into a single USB connection. Real-time encoding support enables common codecs such as MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 when used with compatible software, and TWAIN support increases compatibility with Windows capture applications. Its small form factor and low weight make it portable and convenient for transferring legacy video to digital files.
Suitable for
Digitizing VHS, Betamax and camcorder tapes to digital files
Importing analog recordings for editing on Windows-based PCs
Capturing standard-definition footage for archiving or sharing online
Extracting still frames from analog video using snapshot functionality

How to use
Connect the S-Video or composite output from your VCR or camcorder to the corresponding adapter input, and connect the two RCA audio plugs to the source's left and right audio outputs. Plug the USB‑A end into an available USB 2.0 port on a Windows PC. Install the supplied TWAIN-compatible drivers and any capture software provided or a third-party application such as OBS or video editing software. Configure the capture resolution and frame rate in the software (for example 25 fps at 720×576 for PAL/SECAM or 30 fps at standard NTSC resolutions) then start playback on the source device and record through the capture application.
Usage recommendations
Use a direct USB 2.0 port on the computer rather than a USB hub for more reliable data transfer. For best results, set the capture software to the appropriate video standard (NTSC, PAL, or SECAM) to match the source tape, ensure audio levels are monitored to avoid clipping, and store captured files on a drive with sufficient free space. This adapter is compatible with Windows systems only and is not supported on macOS.
