Diamond Ships GC1000 Real-Time HD Game and Video Capture Device

Diamond Multimedia, a leading manufacturer of Radeon Gaming graphics cards, Best Seller of the VC500 USB capture device for PC and Mac and other popular Multimedia products, introduced today the GC1000, which allows users to capture and edit game-play sessions from popular consoles -- including Xbox® 360, PS3®, Wii – and VHS, DVD Player, Camcorder or satellite set top box, then share their tailored clips on YouTube™ and Facebook®. The device enables users to to record, tailor and share their game-play highlights with zero disruption to the gaming experience. Traditional video capture devices do not support video pass-through and were only intended for users to convert VHS tapes to digital formats and DVD. Diamond's GC1000 bridges that gap and allows today's more sophisticated users to record and play in real-time with no delays, an important feature for quick reflex games like first-person shooters. Diamond users can connect their game console directly to the GC1000, which is then connected to the TV via the Video-out port. The video is sent through the USB port to the PC, allowing the user to play the games on their big screen TV, resulting in no traditional lags or delays on the computer screen.
