Answers.Text: Thanks Michael. I believe the Mini Recorder will take the analog signal and give the digital output. However, I do wish to know if it's possible to provide the VGA video as input to some converter and get the 720p resolution which can be fed to the Video Card I have!?

Answers.Text: I believe that if you feed 640x480 analog video into a Blackmagic miniconverter, you will get upscaled digital video out at 720p or 1080p, but not less than 720p.

Body: <p>I've a Black Magic Declink Mini Recorder Frame Grabber which supports minimum 720p as Video Input. But my camera has a VGA resolution which ostensibly will give output in 640*480 resolution. The card accepts both SDI/HDMI slots for Intput and Camera cable I have is currently having BNC Connector at it's end. Could someone suggest how can I use this Video Card to process VGA Video Output from my camera?</p>
