Y&H USB3.0 HDMI Game Capture Card Audio Video 4K 30P/1080P 120fps Record and Live Streaming,HDMI Capture Device for Nintendo Switch PS5 PS4 Xbox One 360 Wii U,Windows Linux Os X System

I've been using this for a couple years now and have had no issues with it. Always connects just fine, stable 1080p / 60fps video feed. The only issue I noticed was the audio quality on the 3.5mm microphone port was kind of bad, but that might have just been the cheap mic I was using. Normally I just use HDMI audio or an external audio device. Otherwise works perfectly. Amazing value for a 1080p capture card.

It took me some time to get everything setup correctly for audio and video to match up. Works well with 1080p 30fps on switch however on xbox there is a loss in color and contrast the video is drown out. Playing high intense games with crazy graphics like red dead redemption 2 ect will not look very good. This is a great buy if you are just planning on streaming video from a camera or games on the switch. Think of graphics that are less intense like games on the switch it looks great and works fine. So the audio you will want to have setup according to make sure there is no aduio lag with the video. I displayed some pictures to help. and makes sure in control panel properties for capture card that the bitrate is set to 48khz same with all other aps. Match it all up to 48khz in control panel sounds and in obs. Might take a bit of tweaking but i made it work with patience.

Impressed with ease of use. While the shell is plastic, the unit does not get notably warm even after hours of use. This is obviously a USB 3.0 device, but it can be used with USB 2.0 for lesser results, there may be occasional loss of signal and quick flashing of gray screens, the framerate and picture quality are also not as good. In USB 3.0 mode everything functions as it should, the picture quality is "very good" but not pixel perfect, through that's expected with any external capture device. The passthrough can draw power from HDMI to function so you do not need the USB plugged into a computer at all times, but it will have to be supplied power through USB before it accepts power through HDMI. Once you unplug the HDMI outputting device, you will need to add power through USB again for it to function. Using calibration hardware, I tested this unit to have 190ms delay between native output and what is shown in OBS. This is acceptable for video or TV, but will be painful for computer use or gaming. However, using the passthrough will allow you to record on your computer and output to a different device without any measurable delays, which is exactly the reason you should purchase a unit like this with passthrough and avoid those without.

The video capture is great if that's what you're looking for; however this unit cannot capture Xbox/PS5 Party Chat. I will not not buy again as it is not clearly indicated without reading a ton of Q/A.

I'm a media professional. I work for PBS as a photojournalist. I wanted to get some quick and easy streaming going for my wife and I to stream the new Animal Crossing game. Got this. Fun fact, if you plug it in, it sends your video to the TV at a reduced resolution and to the computer at a reduced resolution, and it doesn't send the audio signal from your device anywhere. Just strips it from the HDMI channel entirely. It's a piece of crap and I'm pretty disappointed. I've tried everything to get this thing to work but there really just isn't any audio coming from it anywhere. This isn't a settings problem, it's a hardware issue. And the hardware is crap.

A great capture card for the money! You just plug it in and it pops in your computer as video device, no installation needed! Tested on MacOS and Win in OBS and VMix. It can take virtually any resolution (I tested 1080/60p,30p,60i,30i,24p, 720/60p,30p,24p). When testing, it dropped a frame now and then - 270 dropped frames total when running nonstop for 9hrs. Also make sure audio coming through the card is set to 48kHz, to avoid distorted sound (Input sound settings -> Advanced on Windows) Only downside is it adds a bit of contrast and sharpens the image and thus adds artifacts on edges. It's ok for connecting videocamera (image appears to be sharper, but not in an unpleasant way), but if you want to use it for capturing any graphics/texts, I'd choose a different product - it doesn't look the best, texts are over-sharpened (see attachment, it also shifts colors a little but that can be easilly fixed).

Decided to get back into streaming tried this out works great there’s no software if I recall but it does work plug an play with OBS just fine haven’t had any issues yet besides watching movies on PS4 when the PC is off there’s no sound obviously

Received this capture card for Christmas and I’ll say for this price it’s quite decent and the program that comes with it is easy to use. A great product for anyone who wants one but is not sure they want to indulge $200+ for a more professional brand, For reference I use this to capture video from my Nintendo switch; often times playing games like going under and Sam and Max The only reason I’ve given it for stars is for more “demanding” games like Mario cart, Splatoon and Sonic Frontiers input lag can fall super behind especially if you’ve been using it for a while. It tends to overheat when playing these games (and if that’s happening with a switch I couldn’t imagine an Xbox or a ps4) Also I would recommend if you do not have one already buying a small mini monitor to hook up to it as the input lag tends have the game capture fall behind. Having another screen can show in time gameplay so that way you don’t look like you sick in front of your live (or not) audience. I do plan to buy an upgrade to the is but for the meantime; this capture card is pretty well suited.
