Today we are reviewing AVerMedia’s latest video capture device, the ExtremeCap CV910. The CV910 is targeted at professional users for use in meetings to record for future meetings and to a certain extent*maybe the console gamer
The AVerMedia ExtremeCap CV910*is a video capture device that has a built-in mic and is designed to be very*user friendly and its portability enable users to quickly start recording for any situation. With Full HD(1080p) recording and VGA input instead of just HDMI makes it excellent and fuss-free for enterprise usage with it’s one-click recording.
Is it good at doing what it does? That’s what we’re going to find out today.
AVerMedia is a Taiwanese company who*specializes in PC/ tablet/ mobile TV watching solutions, high-definition video and real-time audio-visual product design, manufacturing and marketing.
Technical Specifications
A Closer Look
There is nothing of interest on the top side of the box
Some box contents
Simplified specifications
I quite like the orange tint they used, it helps the product stand out amongst a sea of black or just white and this orange is not offensive at all in fact it’s a subdued tint and a lovely one at that
A short HDMI cable, 2 power plugs for the different markets and a mini USB cable for the device.
It comes with a fairly comprehensive user guide and a smaller simplified user start guide, 3.5mm male to male audio cable along with a VGA cable
The power supply used is quite beefy being able to supply up to 1.5A but otherwise I quite like the design of the device. It is simplistic and modern.
You can see from this picture that the microphone used is rather large and no, that is not a speaker.
2 HDMI ports for pass through flank the right*side of the device
2 VGA ports are on the left side
Power button on the front (I’ll have to be honest here it took me a bit of searching for a power button when I first tested it because it is hidden too well and in a very inconspicuous spot)
Passthrough audio if you are recording audio from another source is also included and the microUSB cable for PC connection (The device doesn’t seem to be able to transfer files into the PC using the USB port rather it’s for configuration) and the power input jack
SD card slot is located just next to the power input jack (Class 10 is recommended for use with this device)
Nothing of interest on the bottom side.
Test Setup, Results & Conclusion
For evaluation of this device I hooked it up to my Xbox 360, I know, I should have used my PC’s HDMI instead but my monitor doesn’t have HDMI and as of testing I didn’t have a HDMI to DVI cable around.
Inserted is a AVerMedia’s bundled 32GB CL10 SD Card (Not included in retail) for testing.
The quality is hardly fantastic as it struggles to resolve details at 1080p and at a max framerate of 30fps it feels rather choppy.
Still for a powerpoint presentation it does well and I have to say, a really good mic as well for a device with an built-in mic! It picked up my voice really well and clearly from about 5m away signifying the “distance” setting in the app for the device really does work.
I’m*not entirely sure gamers would buy this device over the other video capture devices that AVerMedia already makes but this is designed for the enterprise market and at a price of 345$ it is rather steep for the normal users but this is targeted at the enterprise market and it cuts down on extra work required to encode videos with audio recorded with another mic is the purpose of the mic.
That said the other capture devices AVerMedia produces aren’t exactly cheap either but they do take the load off your computer and that’s a good thing.
The only downsides are the hard to access power button, poor video quality and the USB port that doesn’t seem to do much
