The biggest advantage of our PC monitor direct camera GR80XGA3 is that you can view high-resolution images on the monitor without display delays or afterimages. Another feature is that it is easy to connect directly to a monitor and can immediately check images. (No PC is required. Of course, there is no need to install any software.)

Although this camera has the advantage of being directly connected to a monitor without the need for a PC, we sometimes receive requests to connect this image to a PC, or to connect it to both a PC and a monitor through a distributor.
We will introduce two ways to import images from this camera to your computer.
1. Capture board (desktop PC only)
Usually, capture boards for analog RGB (15Pin D-sub) image formats tend to be expensive.
Among them, AVerMedia Technologies’ capture board “Game Broadcaster HD AVT-C127” is relatively low priced.
We tried using this capture board to see if I could import images taken with a PC monitor direct camera to our computer.
The selling point of this capture board is that it allows you to easily record images from your iPhone/iPad onto your desktop computer, and you can purchase it at low prices at computer stores. You can also purchase it online for around 12,000 yen. When I actually used this board to take still images, I was able to take and save them without any problems.
Furthermore, by using this capture board’s dedicated capture software (RECentral), you can save videos in MP4 format. An MP4 format video shot for 20 seconds at a resolution of 1280 x 1024 (four times the resolution of a normal industrial video camera) has a relatively small capacity (size) of approximately 30MB. Generally, videos shot in AVI format have approximately 10 times the capacity as MP4 format.
Please note that for some reason, I was unable to record video using the dedicated capture software (RECentral) when I selected “AVI” as the video setting.
Of course, you can also use our Viewer software. .
A desktop Windows 8 or Windows 7 computer is required to use this capture board.
We tested it on a Windows 8 desktop computer.
I don’t know if it can be used on all desktop computers, but it can be done at a relatively low price, so I think it’s worth trying.
2. Analog RGB-USB converter (can be used with desktop PCs and notebook PCs)
Below is a converter from Epiphan.
It can be used on both desktop PCs and notebook PCs.
