This device, the first of its kind, converts any type of video or audio, including cassette tapes, vinyl records, television shows, and VHS tapes, directly to an iPod at the touch of a button. The device allows you to preserve your audio and video memories without having to rely on a conversion service or risk long-term damage to the original medium, and no computer or special software is required. The converter plugs into any audio or video device equipped with RCA connections and S-Video (standard on nearly all A/V components) with its included audio/video cables. Simply push the record button, and content is converted to digital MP3 (audio) or MPEG4 (video) format--three hours of 320 x 240 resolution video content takes up approximately 1 GB--and is stored immediately onto an iPod (video iPod required for video content). Data can also be uploaded to a USB flash drive or USB hard drive plugged into the converter's USB port; it automatically detects if it has attached an iPod or USB key. Plugs into AC. Does not work with iPhone or iPod Touch. 3" H x 10" W x 8 1/2" L. (1 lb.)
