This review is for the UGREEN HDMI Capture Card.Wow! At under $40 this is such a good deal. I remember when capture cards were above the $150 range.This is a UGREEN-branded product, and I've purchased UGREEN products from Amazon before and they have never disappointed me. This capture card is no different.I wanted this so that I could start a new island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons and so that I could capture new gameplay as I set up and decorate my new island. Setting up OBS Studio was extremely easy with the included instructions. Everything worked right away.The video quality has been great for me, but please remember that I'm not a streamer. I don't stream my video games live.I use this to record in-game footage so that I can edit it and condense later in a video editor, and this has worked amazingly well for that purpose.

If your looking to record HDMI video or broadcast to a streaming site like Twitch or Discord, but don't want to spend 100 bucks, this USB capture device is a pretty good value at only 40 USD or less.It seems to be recognized as a high definition webcam, which means the drivers are already installed in most modern PCs, and even some smartphones and tablets, no need for proprietary software just for this specific capture card. All you need is the recording or streaming software of your choice.The reliance on webcam protocol is a double edged sword though, as you have to rely on the receiving software's settings and can't just merge the audio into video before going to the capture software, and the methods to combine them in software are not always straightforward. You will want to keep the instructions, or even double check the store page which keeps a handy (if mispelled) guide there to help with setup on OBS, and some settings to change to get consoles to work.Stream quality on twitch wasn't the greatest, though it was more than good enough for me. I'm inclined to believe my hardware and understanding of OBS/Twich are not up to par yet, so this is likely no fault of the UGreen.When using a splitter to send the video signal from a Nintendo Switch to the Ugreen and my TV, and another cable from the output on the Ugreen to a another TV, both the TVs and sound were perfectly in sync with no perceptible delay. I'd say the pass through video works great and speedy for 1080P signals.As for setup quirks, the pass-through video only works if your USB port is sending power to the Ugreen. This means that if your PC or USB hub is off and provides no power to the USB ports in that state, then video will not route to your TV or monitor through the Ugreen. If you don't like reconnecting cables to play your games while not streaming, this could be a drawback.My Huion drawing monitor did not seem to like the video looped out from ithe Ugreen, and couldn't play the video. My portable Prechen branded monitor worked just fine with the output though. This means there could be some monitors that wont cooperate with the output.Video remained stable even when plugged into a USB 3.0 hub, so it seems a 3 foot extension cable will not hurt video quality much if at all if the cable is too short for your PC.I don't like the USB A dongle being molded directly into the cable. The only way to remove it is to damage the cable. I wish it was just a rubber loop that you could detach if you only needed the USB C port. The tether might get in the way of plugging it in to some PCs, although the A port dongle is fairly slim otherwise.It also has that limit of 4K at 30 hz passthrough. If your recording from newer consoles like PS5 Pro and have a TV with 60-120 hz, then depending on your game settings you may only be getting a quarter of your frame rate. If you don't want to sacrifice video quality on your TV or monitor, then your better off paying for a higher priced capture cared with better pass-through.The quirks aside, I'm very happy with this video capture device. At it's price range the quality and functionality is good, even if you need to run through a couple hoops to get it working the way you need.

I picked up this capture card for 2 reasons. First I needed a way to play my switch on my laptop screen on Vacation and I needed a device to capture the output of my laptop for my streaming PC to broadcast. This card has worked great for nothing of those purposes. At its current price it is a great value compared to some others I have seen out there.

Wow! Talk about simplicity. I release YouTube videos of vintage computer repairs and use this for screen capturing the HDMI output from my vintage computers. You will need to install OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) on your Windows machine. It is free opensource software and works great with this capture device. You can use it for capture or streaming.I was super impressed with the quality and ease of use of this capture device, especially for the price.

This is a very good capture card. It's very easy to use and it does what it's supposed to. I also like that it's not sensitive.

This item has been with me for a very short time.This capture card offers high-quality recordings with its 1080p resolution and 60fps, allowing me to showcase my gameplay or create engaging tutorials with crystal-clear visuals. Its plug-and-play design makes it super easy to set up and start recording instantly, without any complicated installation processes. Plus, the passthrough feature allows me to play games in real-time while capturing footage simultaneously, ensuring a seamless gaming experience for both myself and my viewers.I hope you find this review helpful.

Perfect for playing the switch on the PC. This easy enables you to play video from your switch or any console into your PC enabling you to either stream your gameplay or just not having to switch sources when playing your console. It's easy to set up and plug and play which is great.

I haven't been able to test it. You will need capture software. You will need to read the instructions on the device and understand how to use the capture software.. it isn't easy to use until you understand how it works and what is required to capture.It seems to be made wellOnce I get everything I need to use this will update the review

la calidad de video me dejo realmente sorprendido ya que graba hasta en 2k a 30fps y pero la configuracion que estoy usando es de 1080p a 60fps y va mas que perfecto la calidad de imagen tiene excelente nitidez y 0 de lag o de algún tipo de retraso así que en ese aspecto la recomiendo ampliamentela calidad de sonido también es muy buena solamente tuve problemas con el audio pero fue a causa de mi pc nada que ver con la capturadora pero tendrían que venir recomendaciones sobre esos temas

l'ho usato diverse volte per acquisire video di giochi da XBOX One S, Nintendo Switch e devo dire che funziona perfettamente.pro:- di piccole dimensioni- ottima qualità prezzo- possibilità di registrare a 30 fps in 2k e 4k senza surriscaldamento.- possibilità di registrare anche in HD a 60 fps.- ingresso USB-C e uscita adattatore USB-A --->USB-C (possibilità di usare sia l'uno che l'altro)Contro:- al momento non ne ho riscontrati

Très bonne transaction

Easy to set up. Works as expected. Quickly set up on Mac and Xbox series with no issues.
