ViewPro, Portable 1080p@60fps HDMI Video Recorder and Playback with 7" LCD, AV/VGA/YPbPr Inputs. Schedule Recording. No TV is Required.

There is a very small learning curve using this device. You have to be careful with mute and HDMI. If the source HDMI is muted, often the receiver is also muted. Also, on the device there is speaker volume and recording volume. You can mute the speaker, but if you turn the other volume down, it will not record sound. I had no problems plugging in a standard external hard disk drive. You do not need to use a solid state drive or a similar faster drive. I find it annoying that a device this expensive did not come with batteries for the remote or the unit settings. Unless you like resetting the time and date, plan on purchasing a CR 2025 battery. The included tripod is not great, but it does keep the vents on the back of the screen clear. Do not lay the screen flat or it will overheat which can shorten the life of the display.The included software is basic. but provides most features an end user needs The clip tool works pretty well, but it works by the second. If you are concerned about garble, this may not be your best solution. The software that pieces the recordings together is very fast and efficient. The file sizes are huge. 1920 x 1080 60fps works out to about 4GB per hour. This is nice for 80 inch screens, but overkill for a phone or tablet. Depending on what the final use of the project, there is no included software to prepare the final file. I recommend handbrake, which is free. With handbrake, you can reformat your file to fit the screen you are watching it on while also reducing frame rate and file size.I have no plans to copy protected material so I'm taking Cloner Alliance's word that this will not copy DRM or HDCP.

Easy to use. Copied all of my old VHS home vids to digital. Did it in the privacy of my home so people I don’t know were not viewing my private family moments. Also they charge far too much. The quality of my digital copies is great! Also now I can copy anything I wish from anything I choose to digital! So I really loved the Price and functionality of this device! It was worth the money I spent just for transferring my family videos from the 80s and 90s and 2000s.

The camera was excellent all the features worked well, but what the company forget to do is include the battery installation instructions as part of the manual.

This recorder has been able to record video from my FLIR thermal unit, my bore-scope, my old VGA Windows XP computer, my SONY HD video camera, my ROKU, and my home desk top computer. It can also extract still images from a video. It came in a small soft case, but I now keep it in a custom water proof hard case. I like this recorder very much. However, it does have a few issues. First, you can't change the volume during the play back of a video. Second, it is a bit slow changing modes. Third, I have only been able to play back video that the unit recorded. Video's not recorded on the recorder is not recognized or displayed on the menu. Also, batteries left attached to the back of the unit will drain, even when the recorder is off. So unplug the battery when not in use. I purchased the batteries separately. The recorder comes with a wall plug power adapter. So no batteries are needed, except the button battery to keep the date / time memory current.

Nice tool when it works.After owning for about two months, the unit would freeze every other time it is used and the only way to make it work again is by unplugging it. Otherwise it works OK.

What a great product this is. I’ve owned multiple Cloner Alliance products as well as other capture devices from other companies. Cloner Alliance is the best. This thing will record from ANY device that has HDMI. It’s simple to use. Any questions I’ve had have been answered quickly and in a manner I could understand. I had trouble with the remote starting the recording process but easily figured that out. Had some trouble installing the back up batter but Cloner Alliance sent a simple video to me and shoed me how to easily install it. Ive been converted some old DVD’s that I recorded to digital. Had no problems. Recorded from Firestick. No problems. When the file was too big and the View Pro split the file the FREE Cloner Alliance software easily combined the files in no time. Get this device. You won’t be disappointed. Oh yeah…the screen makes it easy to not tie up your TV while converting. Great device.

Setup was relatively simple. Quality of the MP4 output was NICE. The problem was the ViewPro would freeze up (stop recording) in the middle of recording source material sent via the Composite and/or Component connections. That meant that I could NOT use it to transfer VHS tapes or Laserdiscs to a digital format. And since that was the reason I bought it, the unit (close to $400) was junk.I returned it to Amazon.

Great captures and comes in handy when working on security cameras.I purchased a battery for convenience which lasted 14 hours of continuous capturing from my old camcorder.Customer support for an issue I had was taken care of super fast.
