ClonerAllianceChert 4KC, HDMI to USB-C Video Capture Dongle, Ultra Low Latency, Play Game Consoles on Laptop, Driver Free, 4K Input Supported.

i use for a live transmitions for 2 years. still working perfect.

When I started looking into capture cards for this use-case, everything I read online pointed me to the Elgato Cam Link. When that was unavailable, I was at a bit of a loss. Reading other products weren't obvious it would be a brainless, plug-n-play experience.ClonerAlliance turned out to be perfect solution for my webcam needs and more. My DSLR now just shows up as 'CA Chert' when selecting a camera source in Zoom, Skype, and other applications. It is HDMI to USB C, unlike most other capture cards I found which are typically USB 3.0. I have not experienced any significant latency when using it for video conferences or as a source into OBS, which I hear is a common problem with many capture cards.I use this with my Mac and can confirm it was totally plug and play; automatically recognized as a camera source.Note: Make sure you have the right cable for your camera. In my case, I needed a micro-HDMI-to-HDMI cable to connect to my Canon.

This can record from whatever you plug into it. I mean everything (wink wink, nudge nudge) I think we all know what I am saying here.If you, hypothetically say, accidentally plugged in your Blu-ray player, fire stick, Roku, etc, it would record.But we would never do that, now would we?Update: I see from some reviews that some users were having trouble with the somewhat proprietary video format the Cloner Alliance products use.My recommendations:1. Record in the resolution that matches as closely as possible the desired final format.2. Use Cloner alliance's Mp4-cloner software to trim, combine and otherwise edit your video. (really, just use it. it was made by the same company that made your recording device, so it would make sense that it would be the best product to use)3. If your videos need further massaging; run them through Handbrake, which can easily convert Cloner Alliance's MP4 format into almost anything you desire, or need.My experience with these products are that the above is the simplest, and fastest method, to clean up video files produced with these devices.If you just cannot bring yourself to use the free software that works the best, Run the files through Handbrake first then you can edit them in any software package you desire.

After a couple months of use, this device started creating static in the sound, and continual connection issues with Zoom--I've had to plug in and out many times to get it to work properly. As many of these reviews state, this is not a 4K capture, with flickering video. For the pricing, which in the top range for devices like this, it's something that I hope you can avoid, to save yourself time, energy and money. I switched to the Elgato Camlink--the picture quality is much higher, and so much less of a hassle.

The Cloner Alliance software is not available for Mac, the recommended solution is to run a virtual machine on your Mac with Windows installed on it. This requires a Windows license and introduces latencies.
