Capture card for streaming and recording

This external capture device connects via USB 3.0 or USB Type-C and accepts 4K resolution at 60 Hz through its HDMI input. It is designed for creators who stream gameplay, record video conferences or capture camera feeds on Windows, macOS, Linux or Android systems.

2K 30 Hz maximum capture resolution

The card records at up to 2K resolution and 30 frames per second, or 1080p at 60 frames per second, using YUV422 or MJPEG formats. Buyers who need 4K 60 Hz recording should choose a different device.

Passive cooling and bus power under load

No external power supply is required; the unit draws power from the USB connection and relies on its metal housing for heat dissipation. During long sessions the loop-out continues to deliver a 4K 60 Hz signal to a monitor while the capture stream remains stable at the rated 2K 30 Hz or 1080p 60 Hz.

Questions about this item

What does the 4K 60 Hz input actually deliver when I am recording?

The device accepts a 4K 60 Hz signal but captures at 2K 30 Hz or 1080p 60 Hz in YUV422 or MJPEG, so your stream or recording is limited to those resolutions and frame rates.

How does the USB 3.0 connection limit what I can capture?

USB 3.0 provides the bandwidth for 2K 30 Hz or 1080p 60 Hz capture; higher resolutions such as 4K 60 Hz are not supported over this interface.

What do I need on my monitor to use the HDMI loop-out?

Connect the loop-out HDMI port to any display with an HDMI input; it passes the incoming 4K 60 Hz signal through with no added latency for real-time monitoring.
