The VC-30HD is a multi-input video converter and encoding device that accepts HDMI, Component, composite, S-Video, Firewire, and analog or digital audio via RCA, XLR, and AES-EBU. The VC-30HD can be selected to convert to DV, HDV, or MPEG-2 formats. The VC-30HD combines audio and video sources together and encodes to both a Firewire stream and USB audio/video device simultaneously. This is ideal and convenient for archiving to Blu-ray while at the same time webstreaming through a video streaming service on a PC/Mac.
