4K HDMI input with USB 3.0 interface

The VIXLW U168-1 Silver capture card accepts HDMI signals up to 4K at 30 Hz and records at 1080p 60 Hz or 2K 30 Hz. It connects via USB 3.0 or USB-C without drivers or external power. The compact aluminium body suits streamers, gamers and professionals who need a portable way to bring console or camera footage into OBS, Zoom or VLC on Windows, macOS, Linux or Android.

Sustained capture stability

An aluminium alloy shell acts as a heatsink so the internal chipset maintains low-latency transmission during long sessions. The hardware encodes YUY2 or MJPEG video and dual-channel audio in real time, avoiding frame drops when streaming to Twitch or YouTube for hours. No fan is present, so silent operation continues as long as the host device supplies sufficient USB power.

Upgrade from basic USB 2.0 grabbers

This card replaces older capture dongles limited to 1080p 30 Hz and higher latency, letting you record 1080p 60 Hz or 2K 30 Hz from a PS5, Switch, Xbox or DSLR. The jump is worthwhile when you need smoother motion for fast gameplay or clearer text for presentations. It does not serve buyers who require 4K 60 Hz recording or internal PCIe installation.

Questions about this item

Does the aluminium shell keep the U168-1 cool during an all-day stream without fan noise?

The premium aluminium alloy shell provides stable heat dissipation for ultra-low latency transmission, and the card has no fan so it runs silently.

What must my computer already have to use the USB 3.0 or Type-C connection on this capture card?

A free USB 3.0 or USB-C port on Windows 7, 8, 10, 11, macOS, Linux or Android with OTG enabled, plus OBS, Zoom, VLC or similar software.

Will the card pass 1080p 60 Hz from my older console while recording at 2K 30 Hz?

Yes, it accepts up to 4K 30 Hz HDMI input and can output 1080p 60 Hz or 2K 30 Hz for recording and streaming.
