Capture Card for Streaming and Recording

The physowell USB 3.0 capture device accepts an HDMI 4Kp60 signal and captures video at 1080p60. It connects via USB 3.0 with 300-350MB/s throughput and also works on USB 2.0 ports. No drivers are required for Windows, macOS or Linux, and power consumption is rated at 2.5W or less.

Suitable for Streamers and Casual Creators

This card fits users who want plug-and-play capture from consoles such as PS4, Switch or Xbox, or from cameras and media players. It includes a microphone input and headphone output for live commentary. Builders who need 4K60 capture, internal PCIe installation, or multi-channel input should look at other solutions.

1080p60 Maximum Capture Resolution

The single specification that decides fit is the 1080p60 capture ceiling. The hardware receives 4Kp60 through its HDMI loop-through but records or streams at Full HD 60 frames per second. If your workflow demands 4K recording, this device will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

Does the HDMI input really pass 4K at 60 fps while the USB capture tops out at 1080p 60 fps?

Yes — the card accepts one HDMI 4Kp60 signal, loops the same 4Kp60 image out through its HDMI port, and captures at 1080p60 over USB 3.0.

What does the aluminium shell need to sit on, and is external power required?

The compact alloy body draws ≤ 2.5 W from the USB 3.0 port itself, so no extra power brick is needed; it simply plugs into a free USB 3.0 socket.

Do I install any driver before plugging it into OBS on Windows, macOS or Linux?

No driver is required — the device follows UVC and UAC standards, so the operating system recognises it immediately and it appears as a video source in OBS, PotPlayer or any other capture software.
