Overview
A shelf of old tapes and a computer on the desk is where this capture device earns its place. The ClearClick unit takes analog video through AV, RCA or S-Video inputs and sends it to the computer over USB-C as compressed video files.
Plug-and-play USB-C and a tiny body are the reasons to look at it for digitizing tape and disc sources. The listing names Windows, Mac and Ubuntu support. The limitation is standard-definition capture, so the files cannot look better than the source tape.
Who it's for
Home archivists and retro gamers with a VCR, camcorder or console and a computer nearby can use it for simple captures. Buyers who want HD output, a built-in recorder, or an included software suite should check other products.
Pros and cons
- USB-C plug and play
- Small and light
- Supports NTSC and PAL
- Works with VCRs, camcorders and consoles
- Standard-definition capture only
- Needs a computer to record
- Player or camcorder not included
Performance notes
Capture quality is limited by the source tape and playback deck, and the 480p ceiling means no extra detail is added. The computer stores the files, so drive space and USB-C port speed matter for long tapes. NTSC and PAL support covers tapes from different regions.
