Next-generation audio/video capture hardware encoder launched

ADS Tech, a leader in consumer video editing solutions, has announced the launch of the DVD Xpress DX2, a DivX-certified USB 2.0 external audio/video capture device.
With support for all of the leading video formats, DVD Xpress DX2 can be used to create high-quality videos that can be viewed on a TV with a home DVD player or enjoyed on the road with portable video players such as a SonyÒ PSP, AppleÒ iPodÒ or Creative Technology's new Zen Vision:M.
The DVD Xpress DX2 offers full support for DivX 6 digital video technology and the advanced interactive features of the DivX Media Format. The product was showcased last week at The CES show in the ADS 'media lounge' area, where visitors could relax and enjoy watching videos created with DVD Xpress DX2 on PSPs or Video iPods.
ADS Tech's plug-and-play device connects to a PC USB port to transfer video and audio signals from any analog source such as VHS tapes, analog camcorders, set-top boxes or VCRs using the RCA (Composite) or S-VHS video inputs. The signals are automatically converted into MPEG-1 or MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and the DivX digital files that can be archived directly to disc or stored on a PC's hard drive for editing.
