HD Capture - Record and Stream Instantly

What is Video Capture?
Recording both video and audio into digital file formats is called "video capture." Capture devices are categorized into software compression (soft compression) and hardware compression (hard compression). The difference lies in how processing is performed: soft compression relies 100% on the computer's CPU, while hard compression uses a built-in core chip, significantly reducing CPU usage for improved capture performance. Desktop PCs can use software compression capture cards, while laptops can use USB-interface software compression devices. For independent, computer-free operation, hardware compression standalone recording devices are available.
