I have never seen it before. It looks like a collectable item.

Fun fact, I use a VCR for my game capturing. It splits the RCA signal into RCA out (for the capture card) and Coax (for the TV). It's not perfect, but it works well enough.

Cool. Capturing games from you dreamcast? What would be the best and cheapest way to capture videos of dreamcast games?
I have a flatscren telly and a vga box for my DC. Iv'e been thinking of cheaply creating a set up for making dreamcast videos.
I have notions of making a dreamcast youtube channel.

Basically I use the DC RCA cable to a VCR which sends it to a Dazzle and my TV. You can play it off the Pinnacle Studios (the software the Dazzle comes with, and it won't work with anything else I have) preview screen, but I prefer it on a real TV.

To my knowledge there isn't a VGA capture device, so if you want to use VGA you'd have to get a scaler to convert it to either Component or HDMI.
