I use this device for recording HD video for PIV experiments (i.e., having a computer automatically track where certain miniature objects in a video move - so it requires very good video). Setup was easy and the biggest win with this device is the capture software that the manufacturer provides as a courtesy download - really make a complete package. When I bought this, I gave it to one of my students who is an A/V neophyte and he had excellent video captured in a very short period of time. Honestly, most of the technology I tend to see these days is useless and I could care less about video games, but this device has been exceptionally useful to me - I wish I would have purchased it a long time ago.
