Anyone here ever use this? I’m thinking of buying this for two uses. First, to permanently mount it to my laptop lid so I can stream from any type of video source over the web. It would make for a fast and simple setup.

Second, as a way to capture pool feeds for ENG use. Yes, I realize it’s compressed video but the primary pool feeds would be 6+ hour court sessions. Not exactly high quality to begin with. This device would allow input of any type of video where other stand alone recorders are either analog, SDI, or HDMI so I could end up in a situation where one of those recorders won’t accept a certain feed. Most pools are SDI but not all.

Just wondering who has used this and what your overall thoughts were?
