Introduction:

Transcend was founded in 1988 with only two products, the "JetMate" laser printer and the "KeyPro" software protection system. Today they have over 2000 memory modules for devices such as desktops, notebook PCs, servers, workstations, digital still cameras, fax machines, video games and other devices. Recently, Transcend released a new product, a multimedia device identified as the TV-BOX USB2.0.

Transcend TV-Box USB2.0 captures video from an antenna, cable, television set, DVD player, VCR and other video devices. It can also capture images, full motion videos and it has a built in TV tuner.
