4K 30FPS HDMI capture

This external capture device accepts HDMI input up to 4K at 30 frames per second and streams 1080p at 60 frames per second over USB 3.0. It targets streamers, educators and professionals who need driver-free video ingest on Windows 7 or later, macOS 10.10 or later and Xbox One or later consoles. The aluminium housing aids heat dissipation during extended sessions.

Before you connect

Verify that your source device outputs HDMI at 4K 30Hz or 1080p 60Hz and that your computer provides a USB 3.0 port for bandwidth and bus power. No separate power adapter or driver installation is required, so ensure the host operating system matches the listed Windows, macOS or Xbox compatibility. Linux support is not declared in the specifications.

Sustained capture behaviour

Ultra-low latency encoding writes footage straight to the host drive without hardware compression, keeping preview delay minimal during long recordings or live streams. The metal chassis maintains thermal stability so frame delivery remains consistent over hours of continuous use rather than only in short bursts.

Questions about this item

Does the capture card ship with all cables needed to connect an HDMI source to a USB 3.0 port?

The card has an HDMI input and a USB 3.0 output built in; no external power supply or driver disc is required, so you only need your own HDMI cable and a free USB 3.0 port on the host computer.

Is there more than one version of this model to choose from?

The product is offered as a single DGSHXXYX-TVCARD-0001 variant with 4K at 30 fps input and 1080p at 60 fps output; no alternative capacities or speed tiers are listed.

What does the 4K 30FPS rating mean when I actually record or stream?

You can capture an HDMI signal up to 4K resolution at 30 frames per second, while the USB 3.0 link delivers the video to OBS, VLC or other software at up to 1080p 60 fps with ultra-low latency.
