Impact-VCB-e is a Windows video capture PCI Express card. It can be used for digitizing
and compressing video from video cameras, video tape recorders, set top boxes and other
devices which create analog video signals.
The WinTV v8 application software is included with Impact-VCB-e:
It is used for displaying live video on your PC screen and to create video recordings. When
recording live video with the WinTV v8 application, Impact-VCB-e creates a .TS (transport
