It is capable of 480i, 576p, 720p, and 1080i video capture, encoding videos on-the-fly in H.264 at bitrates up to 30Mbps, depending on resolution. The device comes with software for Mac and Windows enabling users to edit and share videos to YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, or e-mail.
The Game Capture requires a Mac running OS X 10.7 or later with a 2GHz dual-core Intel processor, or a PC running Windows 7 with at least a 2GHz dual-core processor. The Game Capture HD will be available starting June 1, at a price of $200.
