## Description

The Genki ShadowCast is a versatile and compact capture streaming card. It connects your favorite game console to the laptop. It allows your laptop to become a TV by converting HDMI output into a video stream that your computer can read without drivers. Once your game footage is on the laptop the possibilities are endless. Compatible with popular video chat apps such as Zoom, Google Meet, and FaceTime, the Genlo ShadowCast 2 transforms your DSLR digital camera or gaming console into a webcam, adding convenience to your virtual meetings and collaborations. Of course we had to make sure the smallest capture card in the world works on the iPad - it was made for the iPad IOS 17 & USB-C versions. We have even released a dedicated iPad app called 'Genki Studio' for it. It does not only turns your USB-C iPad into an HDMI monitor, but it also lets you take screenshots and record videos straight to your Photos app whether it's from a console or a camera. Feel free to try out the app today on the iPad App Store with your ShadowCast or even other capture cards

Review: Good balance of price and functionality - I'm a blind gamer, and I like to stream. So having a means of hooking my switch up to my computer is a must. With having issues with being able to do inputs, lag would also be an issue, but I've not really noticed any. If there is, it's not enough for me to notice, even with playing games that would punish for that sort of thing (Mostly Monster Hunter and Dark Souls.) If you don't have a USB C input on your computer, you'll need an adapter to be able to use it, which could be a concern. But beyond that, it works *perfectly*. The only other thing - I don't know if it's my computer or the product itself, but my laptop is convinced it's a camera and microphone and attempts to use it when I have to do zoom meetings until I change things. Minor annoyance after I realized what was happening (As it can be permanently changed in settings), but it's something you'd have to do everywhere (Like with discord too) if you have it plugged in. Otherwise, it's an amazing product. Easy to use, easy to setup. Even for the quadriplegic blind woman ^^ It's effectively just plug and play. I've never used other streaming products (I can't remember the other one that's commonly used for streaming ^^; ) So I can't really comment on how it compares, but in general, it's worked very well for my needs ^^
Review: Simple, small and portable. - I've only used it with OBS Studio and the only issue I've found is that it has to be connected to the PC before running OBS to avoid reconfiguration. If I connect it AFTER opening OBS, it has to be set up as a new device to be recognized again. Maybe it's a "Me" issue, but it doesn't hurt to get used to having it connected prior to start using it. So far, it's been compatible with VGA to HDMI and DP to HDMI adapters with no issues and no loss in image quality.

## Features

- Plug & Play - Plug into any HDMI Source and display it on the laptop. Works great with the GENKI Covert Dock 2 on the go.
- Compatibility - Connects with iPad IOS17, game consoles on a laptop or any computer including PS5, Xbox Series X, and SNES mini. Supports any UVC software in MacOS, Windows, and Android.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was wrong and it was user error. Product is great!
*by E***K on March 20, 2025*

Update: Got a second one in and it works perfectly. I feel like I may have been at fault and not the initial product. The light only comes on when you're actively using OBS or some kind of capture software. I thought the power had died on my last one. I feel bad but customer service was great. The product doesn't have pass-through so it's a bit of a niche product but if you know what you're getting, then it's exactly as described. And customer service is amazing! Old: I got this and was super excited because I'll be traveling and wanted to use to for that. I powered it up and made sure it booted up and everything was good then unplugged it and put it away. Just took it out to actually use it and it won't power on. It's dead before I even got to use it for its intended purpose. Didn't last a single use. I'm hoping it was a dud and that customer service will solve the issue but, as of now, I would not recommend. If this is worked out, I will make sure to update the review.
