Stream Live TV to Your Displays
Live TV feature in digital signage provides entertainment for your audience.

When choosing a video capture device for your player it’s important to consider the inputs you have to integrate with. Most video cameras, DVDs and live feed devices come with an Analog Composite connector or HDMI out. If you want to capture video from these devices, you’ll want to make sure your capture device supports your live feed out connector. If you want to use a CCTV camera or analog signal with your video capture device, you will more than likely need RCA A/V inputs.
There are some factors to consider when choosing a USB capture card for your digital signage. With prices ranging from only $30 to up to over $150, making the decision doesn’t have to be difficult or costly. We’ll attempt to help you choose the device that’s right for you.
Live TV Using USB Capture Card:
A USB TV and Video Capture Device is a device that is capable of transferring an analog audio and video signal from DVD, cable TV or satellite TV to your digital signage screen. The USB TV Capture Device inputs the video signal by either Composite, S-Video or RF inputs. The signal from the USB Capture Device is output to the player by a USB 2.0 connection. The USB TV capture card can support Analog signal in NTSC format with Max Resolution of 720x480 at 30FPS and PAL Video Capture: 720x576 at 25FPS. UCView’s digital signage software, bundled with the USB TV Capture device, captures a signal and plays it in the appropriate zone or in full screen.
