Connectivity & Compatibility

The AVT-C039 connects via USB 2.0 to any Windows or Mac PC. It accepts composite and S-Video inputs, covering older consoles with analog outputs. Audio is captured through stereo RCA jacks. Compatible consoles include PS3 (AV multi-out models), PS2, Wii U, Wii, Famicom, Super Famicom, and many other retro systems. Important: This device does not support HDMI. For modern consoles (PS4, PS5, Xbox One/Series X|S, Nintendo Switch) that only output HDMI, you'll need an HDMI-to-composite or HDMI-to-S-Video converter. Also, capture software must be purchased separately; popular options include OBS Studio, VLC, and AmarecTV.
