4K Video Capture Card Pro

Overall best bang for the buck. READ THIS REVIEW! So I couldnt find any info on what hz this could run at and that was important to me. I run 4k displays and wanted to record things from time to time. For my girlfriend this works great, and for many tasks it works fantastic. Read until the end for my view. Facts: Using numerous cables I got the same results on pass through: 4K 60F HZ / FPS, no noticeable latency (did not measure), also I dont believe HRD passed through I will verify and update my review. 1080P HZ / FPS. This is sufficient for most higher end gaming if you are doing a live broadcast. Which I will address below. I personally just use an OBS with a remote stream typically but I wanted any easy to plug in, low work, low effort solution when I needed to plug in fast. This product did EXACTLY that. For simply making a video tutorial, recording my screen for desktop use, server use, etc. This was amazing. And not only that at this price point it is cheap enough to use this to remotely manage video out on my servers. +2 points right there. I wish it would handle 4K pass through (not record I dont care about getting over 30-60FPS which I was able to get) to my main display when I play a game for when friends want to watch. But thats fine I can do a remote stream for them if it is important for me to get 4k @ 120-240hz which most cards barely handle anyway. Now the best part. I plugged this into my pc, multiple Mac machines. No setup, no drivers needed. My obs 100% picked it up immediately. From opening the box to streaming I was setup within 5 minutes. Cables were supplied. I wish they had a newer one (which they might already have) with USB c or at least a higher HDMI pass through. Due to how cheap these were and how reliable / easy it was for compatibility I actually plan to buy some for remote sever management uses instead of using long HDMI cables when I needed to do bare metal work for servers without network based management. Overall everyone told me to not buy this. Wrong, buy it until you are ready to commit to a higher priced product if you need the resolution / Frame rate. The recording quality was 100% spot on of what I saw on my gaming computer, connection was easy as can be, streaming was the easiest thing I have done yet.

I recently bought this HDMI Capture Card for my Xbox Series X, and it has quickly become an essential part of my streaming setup. If you're a gamer or content creator aiming to take your streaming and recording to the next level, this device is definitely worth considering. Whether you're streaming from the comfort of your home or on the move, it captures gameplay footage with impressive clarity and quality. Setting it up is a breeze: just connect your Xbox to the capture card, then link the card to your PC or laptop. I especially appreciate how smoothly it records and streams without any noticeable lag—something crucial when you're broadcasting live. This seamless performance keeps the gaming experience enjoyable and stress-free. What really stands out is its compact and portable design. It fits neatly into my setup and easily travels with me when I stream away from home. Plus, its compatibility with popular streaming software like OBS makes it accessible for both beginners and seasoned streamers alike. Overall, this capture card delivers on its promises and is a fantastic tool for anyone serious about streaming their gameplay.

Works as intended! I’m not crazy about NEEDING to have it 4k or anything like that. I just want to capture myself playing my PS5 games. The video looks great and I don’t feel any crazy lag from the PS5 to the OBS capture. I’m very satisfied with the results. Now, I’m on a Mac Mini and being new to this I was confused as heyull to get the PS5 audio in my videos. I got the mic audio and camera going though. I tried to follow the instructions, watched YouTube tutorials, etc. Still couldn’t. Figured out to go to Settings (in the Mac, not OBS), go to Sound, and on Input choose USB3.0 Audio. Now in OBS, in your Sources, click on the + icon and choose Audio Input Capture, Label it whatever you want, click ok, and in the drop-down menu choose USB 3.0 Audio. The PS5 audio should now be in the video and you can confirm on the Audio Mixer on the right in OBS to see the bar moving. NOTICE: If you don’t hear anything, make sure to open the menu on your PS5 from the PS5 controller by pressing the PS button, go to the speaker icon, press Output Device and choose HDMI Device (TV). If you have anything else chosen like your headset, you won’t hear any sound. Now, great! Got that going. How do I listen to my PS5 audio from my speakers or headphones with all that going? I don’t want to connect headphones to the capture card. Remember the Audio Input Capture you added in your Sources that you relabeled to get the PS5 audio in your videos? Yeah, that’s the capture card audio. In OBS, to the right of Sources there’s the Audio Mixer where you see all your audio devices working. Click on the 3 dots on the capture card one that you relabeled that brings the PS5 audio in. Then click on Advanced Audio Properties. A window will pop up, find the capture card device you relabeled, and under Audio Monitoring click on the dropdown and choose Monitor and Output. Now you can hear your PS5 coming from your speakers or whatever is connected to your computer instead of having to connect a headset to the capture card itself. On my Mac I have a pretty cool set up. I don’t have two monitors but I have an iPad. I connected my iPad as the second monitor, made it the main screen under Mac settings > Displays, and then switched my main monitor to PS5. Now I’m controlling OBS through my iPad and can see what I’m doing since I only have one gaming monitor. For sound I’m using my AirPods to connect to the Mac and my PS5 sound is there! Now I can record my gameplay, my voice, and capture it all. Thanks all!

Works for the most part but seems to have a slight issue with the resolution. You'll have to stretch it a little bit in OBS. It's janky, but it works, it's cheap, and it's plug and play so I can't complain.

Didn't know what to expect for under $30 but was highly surprised at the results! My previous capture device was an Elgato HD60 S from years ago and I needed an update for my Mac. This device worked immediately out of the box with one exception. Do not use the USB-A to USB-C adapter. The adapter caused my audio to be choppy and almost had me return the entire package. Once I plugged direct to my USB hub, it worked as intended with no audio lag at all. Card captures at 1080p60FPS as advertised and does a 4k UHD passthrough to the television/monitor. No need to change any settings on the console you're using.

For what you get, this is a great start into capturing video and some audio albeit I would much prefer still to use my pc to handle my audio, it works very well in streaming at 4k and even has a pass through for the same 4k resolution My issue first arrived with how loose the hdmi connectors felt, they dont seem to snugly fit even with the supplied hdmi cords and the cords themselves while supporting 4k dont seem to be entirely built for it The device also does not allow HDR pass through, so if you're enjoying HDR content while streaming, unfortunately you have to forgo it until you remove this device The device only has minimal to undetectable audio lag which even they give you advice on how to rectify so points there and it doesnt get hot so that helps too All this to mention you are essentially having the easiest setup I have ever seen with one of these So for the money and the budget as well as for travel, I highly recommend it as a starting capture card, for travel, or as a backup Sincerely, A gamer

I want to start off by saying that this was a bit tricky to set up. I'm not sure if I misunderstood the instructions or if they just weren't written well, but the USB needs to be plugged into your PC for the actual stream setup. The HDMI output is just if you need an additional monitor output (if you don't want to look at your game through the OBS window). Once I got that figured out, it was super easy to add the source to OBS and get it to stream. I do want to add that if you are NOT using the HDMI output and only using the monitor within OBS, you need to adjust the audio settings for the source so that it outputs to both capture AND monitor, or else it just will not play into your headphones/computer speakers. I will also add that my switch did not work with this capture card through a third-party portable dock, it only worked with my Nintendo switch dock. I haven't tried this with my iPad using an HDMI-to-lightning adapter, or something else that would need an additional adapter to HDMI. Once everything was set up there was no lagging or any kind of glitching. I'm glad that it was plug-and-play, with no extra downloads or anything either.

It works perfect for my streamings, high definition and sound quality, small size, you don't need too much space.
