USB to serial adapter2009-06-27
The advertised product worked as promoted, meet expectations to use legacy serial port devices with Vista PC interfaces. Vendor shipped product in less time than promised and item was well packed for shipping. Price was reasonable and quality above average.
Works flawlessly under Kubuntu Linux2008-09-22
I purchased the adapter to connect my older GPS receiver with my Linux desktop. When I connected the adapter to my desktop, Linux immediately recognized it and assigned it a serial port device number. It also works well in Vista after installing the included driver. No fuss, no trouble.
Does NOT work with Vista2008-07-10
This product did not come with the device drivers to enable my Garmin to connect with a PC Vista computer. I am unsure whether this is due to the major scratches on the disc that came with it (I tried it on an XP computer as well) or what. I tried to find something online but everything relevant is in Chinese. A COMPLETE waste of money. Be careful...this company makes it sound like it will work with basically any device, but that was NOT my experience.
Does not work well in industry2008-05-13
The CablesToGo USB to Serial adapter did not work for me. I tryed using it in an industrial setting to connect a Vista machine to RS Linx and other industrial software. I love their instructions - see if the adapter shows up as properly installed in the windows device manager (which it does). If it doesn't work, the problem is with your software. Right.

Don't waste your time or money on this product. There is a reason there are 54 used ones for sale for a couple of bucks on Amazons site. If you want a solution that works every time, purchase the Keyspan USA 19HS adapater. It plain works. Sure it costs twice as much, but no excuses. See my review on the Keyspan adapter for connectivity to RS Linx using a Vista or XP machine.
Works great2008-05-01
I run a couple of devices off of this cable as needed. Each works flawlessly. It may take a little bit more computer savvy then the normal plug and play, just to make sure that the computer is searching for the device on the right com port (took me about ten minutes of frustration to figure out that the device had seated on com11 - switched it to com1 and all well)!!

Also - for those who don't read installation manuals (myself included) - it helps to run the install disk first... :)

If you need this type of connectivity, I highly recommend!

All the best,

Jay

Professional video camera
A Professional video camera (often called a Television camera even though the use has spread) is a high-end device for recording electronic moving images (as opposed to a movie camera, that records the images on film). Originally developed for use in television studios, they are now commonly used for corporate and educational videos, music videos, direct-to-video movies, etc. There are two types of professional video cameras: High end portable, recording cameras (essentially, high-end camcorders) used for ENG and EFP image acquisition, and studio cameras which lack the recording capability of a camcorder, and are often fixed on studio pedestals. Portable professional cameras are generally much larger than consumer cameras and are designed to be carried on the shoulder. Technology It is common for professional cameras to split the incoming light into the three primary colors that humans are able to see, feeding each color into a separate pickup tube (in older cameras) or charge ...
