Elgato AXHDCAP capture card

The Elgato AXHDCAP is an external video capture device that converts an HDMI signal to USB 2.0 for recording or streaming. It is aimed at entry-level creators who want to bring a camera or console feed into OBS, Zoom or similar software on Windows, macOS, Linux or Android without investing in a high-end internal card.

1080p capture at 30 Hz over USB 2.0

The card accepts HDMI input up to 3840×2160 at 30 Hz but captures and outputs at a maximum of 1920×1080 at 30 Hz using MJPEG compression. USB 2.0 bandwidth limits the frame rate to 30 fps at full HD, so fast-paced gameplay at 60 fps cannot be captured smoothly. The host must provide an Intel Core i5, 4 GB RAM and integrated or dedicated graphics plus 500 MB storage.

Compact black enclosure with HDMI and USB 2.0

The unit ships in a black housing measuring 14.33 in wide, 12.83 in high and 9.06 in deep, with an HDMI input and a USB 2.0 output on opposite ends. It draws power from the USB port so no external adapter is required. The fixed cable layout suits desktop setups but offers no pass-through port for a local monitor, meaning users who need zero-latency local viewing must add a separate HDMI splitter.

Questions about this item

Will the AXHDCAP work with my older PC that only has USB 2.0 ports?

Yes, the device connects over USB 2.0 and the listed system requirements include an Intel Core i5, 4 GB RAM and integrated or dedicated graphics, so it will run on a machine with only USB 2.0.

How can I confirm the AXHDCAP is capturing at 1080p 30 Hz after I plug it in?

Open OBS or Potplayer, add a Video Capture Device source and check that the resolution shows 1920×1080 at 30 Hz; the preview should appear instantly with no noticeable delay.

Does the AXHDCAP box include an HDMI cable and a USB cable, or do I need to buy them separately?

The supplied information lists only the capture card and an installation guide, so you will need to provide your own HDMI cable for the 4K input and a USB 2.0 cable for the computer connection.
