All of the similar devices under the $30 range use the same chipset, and it worked way better than I was figuring back when these first started showing up.



Some notes:

- Shows up on the PC (Win) as a normal video device, no other drivers needed

- Can spit out 1280*720 @ 60fps max, 1920*1080 will max out at 30fps

- If you're wanting to capture live gameplay from a console/etc, you're probably going to want an HDMI splitter, in order to split to the capture dongle and a monitor/tv at the same time...these devices add anywhere from 5 to 12 frames of delay between the input to the capture, and then it showing up in OBS/whatever, depending on the output res/framerate. Depending on the game type, this might be a non-issue.

-- (There are other same-guts capture devices for usually 2x more that mention having 'Loop'...they just have an internal splitter included)...and then the 'With Audio' versions also have a 3.5mm jack for injecting audio...like from a microphone)

- Audio is output in a weird way: It takes the stereo channels and interleaves them into a mono 96khz output. Grab https://github.com/ToadKing/mono-...o/releases and run it after the dongle is connected, and it will output normal 48khz stereo audio. Pressing Enter will exit the program.

- There is no actual 'USB 3.0' version. It's just blue plastic in the plug, 4 USB 2.0 pins. 'usbdeview'/'usbtreeview'/etc can quickly confirm it's a USB 2 device in Windows.
I used these during the initial lockdown to connect my DSLR to my PC as a budget Camlink. This little guy is extremely impressive for the price and even wowed YouTuber EposVox. Here's the review [youtu.be].
I haven't looked into it in a year or so, but pretty much all the devices that look like this (in this price range) scale content to 1080p and compress it. Unfortunately, they also somehow scale 1080p content, which makes it a bit blurrier than just the compression alone would.

Alternate: https://www.amazon.com/VKUSRA-Aud...08F1ZSWVV/ $4.99 for Prime members, ordered one that was used/like new for $2.59. I have one that's USB 3.0/60 fps and it's ok.

Probably need a splitter that removes HDCP.

I mean you can but it wouldn't be great if you cared about the original footage since it drops frames occasionally and you'd be converting it a bunch. It's good for streaming but I wouldn't use it for archiving footage.

Does your alternate do 1080p60?

I only currently have the USB 3.0 one that does 60 fps, AFAIK the 2.0 ones only do 30 fps but obviously can accept a 1080p60 input. Although with the USB 3.0 one, it says 1080p60 is "unstable" whatever that means. I just use it for Hyperion to capture HDMI. I would suggest researching some more if you want one that does 60 fps just because there are many that look the same.

I have used few of those. Different brands, different prices but the same look. Not sure about the internal components buy it seems to me they all produce the same output quality. I haven't seen any difference in side by side comparison. So IMHO, just get the cheapest one you can find.
