U-RGB is the only compact external VGA signal grabber capable of capturing output from virtually any VGA source – such as a Windows PC, Unix machine, embedded systems, medical devices, scientific or lab equipment, and more.
|
|
|
|
It is invaluable in the preparation of documentation, analyzing monitor-less systems and performing quality control on tested systems. It supports any application that requires the acquisition of VGA images, as well as enhancing collaboration sessions.
|
|
|
|
As a compact external device, U-RGB is easy to use. About the size of a box of paperclips, it is easily plugged in and requires no additional power.
It is a fully-featured VGA/RGB capture product, complete with hardware, USB cable and software that makes it possible to view captured data in real time, save captured images to disk, copy captured images to a clipboard, or setup a periodical “save” command to capture images to disk.
Software development kits are also available for specialized applications.

U-RGB captures and transfers every pixel of the original VGA frame in 16-bit per-pixel RGB format. In this respect U-RGB provides better quality than solutions like a VGA-to-video converter paired with a Composite or S-Video grabber.
Below you can see pairs of screen captures to illustrate the quality of image that U-RGB captures. The first column shows screen shots taken using the “Print Screen” function on a PC. The second column shows the same shots taken using U-RGB.
In addition, U-RGB can be set to automatically capture (or auto-save) images at preset intervals - something "Print Screen" function cannot offer.
