The VideoGhost Pro HDMI is an innovative tiny frame-grabber, hidden inside a standard video cable. It may capture the HDMI video signal of a computer or laptop. The built-in powerful FPGA chip and microprocessor enable it to convert the captured video signal to a JPEG image, and store it to the internal 8 gigabyte flash drive. The VideoGhost is a purely electronic device, meaning it requires no software or drivers, and does not interfere with the standard video transmission to the monitor or TV. The VideoGhost Pro is an enhanced version with control capabilities over Virtual COM. An external application can capture still images on-demand from the monitored HDMI interface.FeaturesCompatible with all HDMI devicesSupports resolutions up to Full-HD 1080p (1920 x 1080) and WUXGA (1920 x 1200) Works with computers and external laptop monitors No power supply necessary (power is drawn from the USB port) Built-in JPEG encoder Huge memory capacity (8 gigabytes), organized as an advanced flash FAT file system Built-in timestamping module and battery with over 7 years lifetime guaranteed No software or drivers required, Windows, Linux, and Mac compatible Ultra compact and discreet, looks like an mini-extension cable Transparent to computer operation, undetectable for security scannersWorks out of the box, no configuration necessary Virtual COM mode PC-side software with source codeOn-demand image capture
