Description

Record HDMI gameplay and camcorder footage at 1080p over USB without a streaming rig. Plug the box between your source and your PC, and the footage is ready to edit or stream. The aluminum shell sits quietly on a busy desk.

Capture HDMI gameplay and video in Full HD 1080p over USB with a plug-in device

Solves
  • need to record console or camera footage without expensive equipment
  • setting up complicated streaming hardware
  • recording from HDMI sources on a laptop or PC

Turn Any HDMI Screen Into Footage You Can Keep

Stop filming your TV with your phone. Connect your console or camera once and record clean 1080p straight to your computer.

A small box that does one job well

Plug in, no drivers needed

HDMI goes in, USB comes out, and the computer sees the device as a video source. On most systems there is no driver to install and no software to configure before your first recording. Open your app, select the device and you are rolling.

Full HD 1080p out

The device outputs up to 1920x1080 at 30 fps over USB. Input can be up to 3840x2160 at 30Hz, so a 4K console or camera is scaled down to Full HD for capture. The result is sharp enough for clips, uploads and live streams on Twitch or YouTube.

Solid aluminum build

The shell is matte black anodized aluminum with a silver USB plug and clear Input and Output labels on the body. It feels dense in the hand and looks at home next to a console or a laptop. Aluminum also carries heat away better than plastic, which keeps the housing steady through long sessions.

  • 3840x2160Max HDMI input at 30Hz

Connect in three steps

  1. 1
    Connect the source

    Run an HDMI cable from your console, camera or set-top box into the device's Input port.

  2. 2
    Plug into your computer

    Connect the Output USB end to a free USB port on your PC or laptop. A direct port works better than a crowded hub, since USB 2.0 bandwidth is shared.

  3. 3
    Record or go live

    Select the device as the video source in your recording or streaming app, check the preview, then hit record.

Stop filming the TV, start keeping the clip

Screen footage recorded on a phone propped against a monitor

Tired of blurry phone clips

You know the drill. A great match ends, you grab your phone, and you film the TV at an angle with glare across the screen. The clip looks like it was shot through a window. Every time you want to share a moment, you end up with something you would rather forget.

One box, two cables

Run HDMI from your console or camera into the Input port, then plug the silver USB end into your computer. That is the whole rig. The device sits between the source and your PC, so there is no mixer, no second machine and no streaming hardware chain to babysit.

Your footage, ready to use

Open your recording app, pick the device as the video source and hit record. You get 1080p at 30 fps, clean enough to edit, clip or send straight to a stream. The footage is yours to cut the way you like.

Questions and answers

Is USB 2.0 fast enough for 1080p capture?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes, for 1080p at 30 fps. The device outputs up to 1920x1080 at 30Hz over USB 2.0, which is the feed it is built around. If you need 60 fps footage, this is the wrong box.

Does it work with Xbox, PlayStation and Switch, and does it need drivers?
w
Wanelo · seller

Any console with an HDMI output can feed the Input port. The device plugs in with no drivers on most systems, so you open your recording app and select it as the video source.

What happens if my source is 4K?
w
Wanelo · seller

The Input accepts up to 3840x2160 at 30Hz, but the output is capped at 1920x1080 at 30 fps. Your 4K signal is scaled down for capture. Set your console or camera to 1080p if you want a closer match to what gets recorded.

Can I use it with a camcorder or DV camera?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes. Connect the camera's HDMI out to Input and the USB end to your computer, then record the feed while the camera plays. Old tapes played back through an HDMI-out camera land on the PC in one pass.

Is it worth it compared with a bigger capture hub?
w
Wanelo · seller

You get one box, two cables and no extra software to manage. The aluminum shell feels built to last on a busy desk, and a plug-in path costs far less time than a streaming rig that eats the evening. For a clean 1080p feed, that is where the value sits.
