3D Video Wizard U169 Capture Card

The 3D Video Wizard U169 captures HDMI video at up to 1080p 60FPS or 2K 30FPS through a USB 3.0 or USB-C connection. It is built for streamers, remote workers and content creators who need to bring a camera, console or other HDMI source into a PC or Mac for live broadcast or recording.

MS2130 Chip and Multi-Platform Support

The onboard MS2130 chip enables true USB 3.0 throughput for ultra-low latency capture without a separate power adapter. The device works with Windows, Linux and macOS and is recognised by OBS Studio, PotPlayer and QuickTime Player, so no proprietary software installation is required for everyday use.

USB 3.0 Bandwidth and Resolution Ceiling

Capture resolution tops out at 1080p 60FPS or 2K 30FPS even though the HDMI input accepts 4K 60Hz signals, so producers needing 4K recording must look elsewhere. The USB 3.0 interface also means the card cannot be used on hosts limited to USB 2.0 ports.

Questions about this item

Does the MS2130 chip inside the U169 ever need a firmware update or replacement?

The MS2130 chip is a fixed hardware encoder and does not require firmware updates or user replacement under normal use.

What capture resolution limit appears first when recording long sessions at the highest quality?

Capture resolution tops out at 2K 30FPS, so extended 1080p 60FPS streams stay within the chip's sustained throughput ceiling.

How warm does the silver aluminium housing get and does the USB 3.0 port supply enough power for all-day streaming?

The aluminium case acts as a passive heatsink; the card draws all power from the USB 3.0 or USB-C port with no external adapter needed.
