Purpose and audience
The ESTONE YCY-2353 is a USB 3.0 video capture device that converts an HDMI source into a UVC stream for recording or live streaming. It targets creators who need a compact dongle for game consoles, cameras or conference gear and want plug-and-play operation on Windows, macOS, Linux or Android without installing proprietary drivers.
Interface limits
The USB 3.0 link delivers 300 to 350 MB/s throughput, which caps capture at 1080p 60 fps even though the HDMI input accepts 4K at 30 Hz. Passthrough mirrors the incoming signal to a local display, but the recorded file never exceeds 1920×1080. Audio is limited to 48 kHz PCM stereo, and the dongle draws no more than 2.5 W from the host port.
Installation and common issues
Connect the HDMI source, plug the USB 3.0 cable into a blue port, and the device appears as a standard webcam in OBS, Zoom or any UVC-compatible software. No external power brick is required. Builders using USB 2.0 ports will see frame rates drop to 30 fps or lower, and systems below the listed i5-3400 or GT630 baseline may drop frames during extended sessions.

Questions about this item
Which capture mode should I pick between 4K at 30 Hz input and 1080p at 60 Hz recording?
Choose 4K at 30 Hz passthrough when you need the source displayed on a monitor at its native resolution; switch to 1080p at 60 Hz capture for smoother gameplay recording and streaming.
What does the 1080p 60 Hz capture spec mean once the card is installed in my PC?
The device records or streams at up to 1920x1080 resolution at 60 frames per second over USB 3.0, provided your CPU and GPU meet the i5-3400 or GT630 minimums.
How does the USB 3.0 interface limit real-world throughput?
The USB 3.0 connection delivers 300 to 350 MB/s sustained throughput, which caps the maximum uncompressed video bitrate you can capture without dropping frames.
