Bros, I found this dongle in a box of old stuff, and I'm thinking that I could use it to copy some of my parents' old VHS home movies to digital. But of course when I plug it into my PC it doesn't do anything.What sort of steps could I try to see if I can get it to work? How would I know if the computer even recognizes it? I have access to both windows and Linux systems.
>>108516369Looks like it's a signal booster using USB as power supply. I don't think you can record with this.
>>108516369I think it's a power source for an lnb. Think sattelite receiver, or dvb terrestrial. Those require power and some use usb as power source. I've had a similar thingy with a dvb-t receiver.. antenna needed to be powered
>>108516369>and I'm thinking that I could use it to copy some of my parents' old VHS home movies to digital.what made you think that you fucking retard
>>108516421What made you think this was an unreasonable thought?
>>108516436what does a BNC connector have to do with VHS? but even if somehow that had the ability to transmit video, this is clearly just some passive cable with a power injector, and there's no room for a capture card in there.
>>108516479You know that, but OP didn't. He described it as 'this dongle', wondering IF he could use it to copy VHS since it apparently has some kind of connector that maybe could be used for a video signal.Don't talk shit on people trying to figure things out.
>>108516479Not BNC, that's cable TV coaxial connectors one male the other female with USB type A on the other line
This looks like a power cable for a shitty security camera
>>108516479not BNCits def. something sat/antennae, there being no other purpose whereby BNC would not be the saner choice.
OP here, thanks to everyone for explaining this thing to me.Except for this guy>>108516421who seems... easily upset
>>108516414this, its a bias tee
