In order to capture video from an analog source you will need an analog/digital converter such as a Canopus or a Dazzle. These devices will allow you to input an analog RCA or S-Video signal and will output a digital signal to your computer via USB. In many cases these devices are not compatible with Flash so you may need to use PROCASTER to broadcast from this source inside Mogulus studio. Please note that some Dazzle Devices are not meant for streaming and may cause audio loss. Please check with the manufacturer before attempting to use one of these devices with Mogulus.
