How can I grab the image from camera ?

Hi all,


I've just bought a BM Miniconverter Anolog to SDI. I plug an analog camera to Miniconverter , next I connect the Mini USB port of Miniconverter to USB port on my PC.

How can I grab the image from camera ?
What software or SDK should I use ?
Thank you.

Mini Converter Analog to SDI is designed for analog video to SDI digital video conversion only.
USB connection is used to program firmware or change settings of the product, you can not digitize through it.

What you need is either the Video Recorder (SD only):

OR:
If you do not have an Apple computer or HD is a must, then the H.264 Pro Recorder would be the right product for digitizing from USB:

Contact your dealer, it could be that you can get full refund when buying the right product for your need!
