Apparently a problem with USB capture devices is video lag, to the point that it makes playing games o­n your computer a problem. Kurouto Shikou has announced a new device called the "GameBridge" which supposedly addresses this problem. Update: I've done a bit of research into this, and apparently lag isn't a problem on all modern USB 2.0 capture devices. Sorry for the false alarm. I'll leave this article up because I don't feel like deleting it.

Kurouto Shikou announced the "KRTV-AGB/U2" USB 2.0 capture unit with a TV tuner o­n November 22nd.

The KRTV-AGP/U2 is a capture unit that features an internal TV tuner and connects via USB 2.0. It uses software encoding to encode into MPEG-1 and MPEG-2, and can be connected to game consoles so they can be played o­n computer screens.

"InterVideo HomeTheater" is included as control software, and the included wireless remote controller means it can be controlled in a fashion similar to a hard drive recorder.

Inputs are RF, S-Video, video, audio, and it supports USB. Power is supplied by USB bus power. The size is 66 x 43 x 20mm, and it weighs about 29g.
