The Intensity Pro 4K is built with video components used in professional film and TV equipment.

HD gaming consoles run up to 60 frames per second (double the rate of ordinary HD) to make sure motions are smooth during the fastest gameplay. The Intensity Pro 4K is built to keep up with your gaming, able to capture 1080 HD video at the same 60 frames per second rate. Or slow down a little and use the Intensity Pro 4K to make digital archives of VHS, BetaMax video tapes and DVDs.
