Compact HDMI-to-USB-C capture dongle

The ClonerAlliance Chert 4KC is a pocket-sized dongle that lets laptop, phone or tablet owners play PS4, Xbox One or Switch games on their existing screens without a television. It accepts 4K at 30 fps input and records or streams at up to 1080p at 60 fps with a maximum bitrate of 140 Mbps. Ultra-low latency below 90 ms keeps gameplay responsive. UVC compliance means it works driver-free on Windows, Mac, Linux and Android.

Bundled software and multi-source recording

Three included utilities — HDML-Cloner Pro Helper, MP4-Cloner and ClonerAlliance App — handle capture, editing, scheduled recording and direct streaming to YouTube, Twitch or Facebook. Multiple dongles can be connected to one computer, enabling simultaneous ingest from several HDMI sources such as consoles, camcorders or set-top boxes. This turns a single laptop into a multi-camera production rig without extra hardware.

Driver-free setup and common pitfalls

Plug the Type-C connector into a host port, attach an HDMI cable from the source, and the device appears as a standard video class camera in any streaming or recording application. No driver installation is required on supported operating systems. The main limitation is the 1080p 60 fps capture ceiling; users needing 4K recording must look elsewhere. Android hosts must support USB video class and provide sufficient bus power, otherwise the dongle will not enumerate.

Questions about this item

Will the USB-C connector or HDMI port need replacing after heavy daily use?

The dongle has no moving parts or fan; the USB-C plug and HDMI socket are solid-state, so no scheduled replacement is required.

What capture limit appears first during a long recording session?

The device caps capture at 1080p 60 fps with a maximum bitrate of 140 Mbps, so resolution and bitrate are the first hard limits.

How much heat or noise does the Chert 4KC produce when streaming all day?

It draws power from the USB-C bus, runs silently with no fan, and stays cool enough for continuous operation.
