HDMI Capture Card for Game Live Broadcast HDMI to USB 1080P Video Capture

This HDMI capture card provides a straightforward way to stream or record high-definition video content, including game footage, directly to your computer. Its plug-and-play USB connection eliminates the need for an external power supply, making it a convenient choice for live broadcasters who need a portable solution. Compatible with widely used software such as OBS and VLC, and operating systems including Windows, MacOS, and Android, it fits well into existing workflows without requiring additional configuration.

Features and Construction

The device is built around standard capture card electronics that support clear video and audio transfer over USB. Its compact, lightweight design is intended for mobile use between different setups.

Resolution and Colour Depth

The capture card supports a maximum output resolution of 1080P, which suits common broadcasting and recording needs. It can handle colour depths of 8, 10, or 12 bit, providing flexibility when working with different video sources.

Transmission Distance

When used with standard AWG26 cables, the input transmission distance is up to 15 metres at 1080P or below. This allows the capture card to be placed at a practical distance from the source device without signal degradation.

Uses and Placement

This device is mainly intended for video capture during game live broadcasts, but it can also be used for general video conferencing or recording. Its small size means it can be tucked away with other cables.

Live Streaming

Connect the capture card between a game console or camera and a computer to stream high-definition footage to platforms such as Twitch or YouTube using OBS or similar software.

Recording and Conferencing

The card also works for recording screen or camera content locally, or for adding an external HDMI source to video calls on supported operating systems.

Benefits and Buying Value

The main advantage of this capture card is its combination of 1080P support and USB compliance, which together simplify the process of adding HDMI video input to a computer. The lack of a separate power cable reduces desk clutter.

Portability

Weighing only 59g and requiring no external power, the device can be easily carried between different broadcast or recording locations.

Software Compatibility

Compliance with UVC and UAC specifications means the card is recognised automatically by most capture software, including OBS, VLC, and Amcap, across Windows, MacOS, and Android platforms.
