Review: Easy to use, minimal issues - I was torn between buying this or an elgato, i saw the proce difference and tookthe gamble. I have never heard of this company before so i was a bit unsure how to feel. But after it arrived i hooked it up and gave it a little test, it was easy to setup and was pleasantly surprised to find how easy it was to use and the quality was smooth and looked just how it did on my ps3 screen. I havent tested it streaming yet but recording worked perfectly. All u need for this is a pc, a console you wish to record/stream from and OBS on your pc/laptop The usb plugs into your PC, and you connect hdmi from console to the hdmi input on your capture card, and connect hdmi from the hdmi output on the card to your monitor/tv. Then boot up obs and set up a source for "video device capture" set to "FHD capture" and also a source for "audio input capture" also as "FHD capture" Then tweak settings how you like and click record/stream then boom, away you go recording watever your console sees through your obs software
Review: Works as intended, can have a few problems - I've been using this capture card for roughly 5 years. And it has stood the test of time. It's perfectly designed for me so that I can view my games on source (as if I was playing it on a TV or monitor) while also being able to capture the screen, making any lag issues when watching on OBS obsolete when streaming. It does disconnect easily, although that might be because of age more than anything. The USB wire is fixed to the device, and is quite inflexable unlike shown in the product images

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can this item be used with a camcorder for YouTube and Facebook Live streaming?**
A: If the camcorder has a HMDI out for the LIVE VIEW then yes. Some only have playback of recorded content. I suggest you try first to plug your camcorder to a TV HDMI input. This test will immediately tell you what you can and cannot do. Whatever you will see on your TV is what you will get with this product in OBS or any streaming software. It registers in Windows 10 as a capture device and can therefore be used to capture whatever feed our camcorder sends out. I personally use it with a DSLR which has LIVE VIEW enabled through HDMI.

**Q: Is there noticeable latency/delay?**
A: No delays. We use it for our karaoke business to show words and videos on two different screens. It works great!

**Q: Will this allow you to stream / capture video from a camcorder to the computer?**
A: More or less, yes. You need software such as OBS to use it as a source to record into. It will take an HDMI signal into your computer and see it as a "camera" device.

**Q: Is this compatible with the nintendo switch and it's dock?**
A: It only has analog video cables. It does not support HD video capture. It’s most likely possible, but not at a high resolution quality.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best In Class
*by M***E on 27 January 2019*

For the cost of this, there's simply no better capture card your money can buy. I haven't tested at full 60fps 1080p yet, but running at 720p/60fps I can record for two-plus hours without a single video artefact. That said, there are a few moments throughout the recording where the audio almost seems to be playing catch-up, but that could just as likely be related to OBS as it could with the device itself. It's worth noting that you do not need to output HDMI if you don't want to, and in fact in terms of recording video and audio over USB while simultaneously overlaying mic audio it's preferred (at least by me) not to. It's also very handy that it's used over USB rather than PCI, since it means I can use it on either my laptop or desktop depending on which room in the house I'm recording in. Overall, incredibly happy with this purchase. [Obligatory disclaimer: I did not receive this product for free, and I was not paid for this review]
