Cognitech Supported Video/Audio Acquisition Cards
By purchasing these third-party capture cards and using them with Cognitech VideoActive 64, you will gain access to special video acquisition capabilities such as Lossless compression using Cognitech US Patented COG file format. This feature is not legally available for use outside of Cognitech VideoActive 64 even with a supported capture card own software and requires Cognitech software.
Forensic acquisition devices are fully integrated within Cognitech’s forensic VideoActive 64 software. The devices do not require any 3rd party software to be used with VideoActive 64.
