What the BG-4KCHA does and who uses it

The BG-4KCHA is a USB-C video capture device that accepts HDMI input up to 4K2K@60 and streams captured video at up to 4K2K@30 or 1080P@120 over USB 3.1 Gen 1. It includes an HDMI 2.0 loopout so the source signal passes through to a display while recording, plus HDR10 to SDR conversion for console gameplay. Audio is captured as 2CH 16 bit PCM and a mic-in-mix knob blends microphone input with the HDMI audio stream.

What to verify on your system before ordering

Your computer must provide a USB 3.1 Type-C port that delivers enough power for the device's 4.5 watt maximum draw, as no external power supply is included. Capture resolution over USB is limited to 4K2K@30 or 1080P@120 even though the HDMI loopout supports 4K2K@60, so confirm your recording software can work at those frame rates. The unit weighs 286g and uses a 19-pin HDMI Type A connector for both input and loopout.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Streamers and content creators who need simultaneous 4K HDR passthrough to a TV and 4K30 or 1080P120 capture over USB-C will benefit from the built-in scaler and mic mixing. Buyers who require 4K60 capture over USB, internal PCIe installation, or multi-channel audio beyond 2CH PCM should consider a different capture solution. The device is compatible with OBS Studio, AMCap, XSplit, Zoom, Skype and other common UVC applications on Windows, Linux and macOS.

Questions about this item

What cables and extras are included with the BG-4KCHA and what must I add?

The box contains the capture device only. Connect it to the computer with a USB 3.1 Type C cable and to the video source with an HDMI Type A cable, then add a microphone or headphones for the audio jacks if required.

Which resolution mode should I pick — 4K2K@30 or 1080P@120?

Choose 4K2K@30 for maximum detail on 4K sources; choose 1080P@120 when high frame-rate motion matters more than pixel count.

What does the 3~4 ms latency figure mean when I am streaming at 1080P?

It is the glass-to-glass delay at 1080P, so gameplay and commentary stay tightly synchronised in OBS Studio or other supported software.
