What type of card sends a video signal to a computer for recording?

A capture card is designed specifically to send a video signal to a computer for the purpose of recording, streaming, or processing video content. It serves as an interface between the source of the video (such as a camera, game console, or other video output) and the computer, allowing the video signal to be digitized and transferred to the computer's storage or processing capability.

Capture cards are commonly used in various applications such as video gaming, live streaming, and video editing. They often support various video formats and resolutions, making them versatile tools for content creators.

The other options do not serve this specific purpose. A SCSI adapter is used for connecting devices to a computer's SCSI bus and is more related to storage devices than to video. USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a standard interface for connecting various peripherals to a computer but does not inherently capture video signals. A NIC (Network Interface Card) enables network connectivity and data communications and is unrelated to video capture functions.
