The AverMedia DarkCrystal HD Capture Station is a digital video recorder that's little above your typical $70 USB video capture device. It’ll capture high-resolution analogue video up to 1080i (1,440 x 1080 pixels) from component video sources and includes a heavy component AV cable. It’ll also capture standard-definition video from S-Video and composite video sources. It has an HDMI output, but it’s only partially useful — it’s only for recorded file playback, not viewing live video feeds.
