Portable USB 3.0 HDMI capture card

The JIMTAB capture card weighs 19.9 g and provides both USB-A and USB-C connectors. It accepts an HDMI source up to 4K at 60 Hz and delivers a 1080p signal at 30 Hz to laptops, tablets or phones. No drivers or external power are required.

USB 3.0 bandwidth limits output to 1080p 30 Hz

Although the HDMI input handles 4K at 60 Hz, the USB 3.0 link caps recorded or streamed video at 1080p and 30 frames per second. Higher frame rates or resolutions cannot be transmitted over this interface. The aluminium shell aids heat dissipation during extended sessions.

Upgrades from basic USB 2.0 grabbers

USB 2.0 capture devices typically max out at 720p or lower frame rates, so this card adds full 1080p recording for streaming, teaching or conference calls. The jump is worthwhile when you need reliable 1080p 30 Hz capture without installing drivers. It does not suit workflows that demand 4K recording or 60 fps output.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the USB-A or USB-C connector for my device?

Use whichever port your host device has; the card includes both a USB-A and a USB-C plug so it works with laptops, tablets and phones without an extra adapter.

What does the 1080P 30 Hz output mean when I am recording?

The card accepts a 4K 60 Hz HDMI signal but downscales it to 1080P at 30 frames per second for the USB 3.0 link, so your recordings and streams are full HD at 30 fps.

Does the USB 3.0 connection limit the capture quality?

Yes, the USB 3.0 bandwidth caps the output to 1080P at 30 Hz even though the HDMI input can handle 4K at 60 Hz.
