Capture card for 4K pass-through and 2K30 recording

This external HDMI capture device accepts a 4K signal at 60 Hz and delivers 2K video at 30 frames per second over USB 3.0. It targets streamers, educators and gamers who want to record or broadcast gameplay and camera footage on Windows, macOS or Linux without internal installation. The box includes a receiver cable for immediate connection.

Suited for single-source capture

Creators who need one HDMI input and a 3.5 mm jack for headset monitoring will find the feature set complete. Buyers who require multiple simultaneous inputs, 4K60 recording, or internal PCIe latency should look at a different class of device.

Maximum recorded resolution is 2K at 30 fps

The specification lists 2K30Hz as the capture output, while 4K60 is pass-through only. If your workflow demands recorded 4K or higher frame rates, this unit will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

How do I install the capture card and what step do people often get wrong?

Connect the source HDMI output to the card input, link the card to a USB 3.0 port, then run HDMI from the card output to your display for 4K@60Hz pass-through; the missed step is forgetting that output cable so the monitor shows nothing.

What maintenance or replacement will this device need later?

No internal parts require service; only the supplied receiver cable or your own HDMI leads may wear out, and the 3.5 mm microphone and headphone jacks should be kept free of dust.

What limit appears first during a long streaming session?

The capture pipeline tops out at 2K@30Hz YUY2, so extended broadcasts stay at that resolution and frame rate even though the pass-through path handles 4K@60Hz.
