Capture resolution and frame rate

The DigitNow! V318 is a compact HDMI-to-USB 3.0 video capture device that records or streams 1080p at 60 fps. It suits streamers, remote workers and educators who need a simple way to bring an HDMI source into OBS, Potplayer, VLC or conferencing software on Windows, macOS or Linux.

Upgrading from older capture methods

The unit replaces legacy USB 2.0 grabbers and internal PCIe cards that cannot sustain 1080p 60 fps throughput. The jump is worth it when you need full HD fluid motion without driver installation, especially for console gameplay, DSLR feeds or security camera monitoring.

USB 3.0 bandwidth and loop-out limits

The USB 3.0 link provides 5 Gbps bandwidth, which caps the capture pipeline at 1080p 60 fps and prevents higher resolutions or frame rates. The HDMI loop-out passes the signal to a display without added latency, but the device cannot record the loop-out and the USB stream simultaneously at different settings.

Questions about this item

What are the physical dimensions of the V318 capture device?

The unit measures 4 by 2 by 1.8 inches and weighs 9.6 ounces, so it fits easily on a desk or in a laptop bag without blocking adjacent ports.

Which connection step is most often missed when setting up the HDMI loop-through?

Connect the source to the HDMI input, the display to the HDMI output, and the USB 3.0 cable to the computer; the loop-through only works when all three cables are seated before powering on the source.

Does the aluminium casing require any periodic maintenance such as thermal paste replacement?

No user-serviceable parts are inside; the metal shell acts as a passive heatsink, so keeping the vents clear of dust is the only upkeep needed.
