Verdict

j5create JVA02

6 / 10 Expert Rating

A solid budget alternative to the Ripsaw HD with the same hardware mixing convenience for less money.

Roland VC-1-DL

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A genuinely useful multi-format converter for legacy AV environments, far more niche and pricier than a typical gaming capture card.
