Introduction

Impact Acoustics is single handedly trying to confine me to my office. Take any composite or s-video video source with its accompanied analogue audio and the Video to PC Converter will convert your monitor to a display. All this without software or any other "not allowed by IT" programs. The box is small and unobtrusive which you can easily hide away. It will even deinterlace the picture for you! If you're an employee, this should be on your birthday list, if you're an employer, you should be looking for one to confiscate from your employees… so you can use it in your office.
