As we discussed earlier, the Canopus TwinPact Scan Converter could

conversion of the analog video input.

So you can capture and stream the stuff directly to an attached laptop
for archiving and editing offline later.

Saves a lot of manual time trying to handle different platforms, let's
say you charge $50 an hour - how long is it going to take to cover
about £350 GBP (probably $600 USD), maybe one conference day ?
