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.

If this is the same 720p Chinese device that uses the same product photos as this, you can find them just as cheap or cheaper on ebay/ali. They're using a USB2.0 chipset even though some of them use blue USB 3.0 male connectors to try to fool you into thinking it's capable of 3.0 speeds. USB 2.0 speeds are OK for 720p MJPEG streams but once you get up to 1080p you will notice detail loss if you have motion or high frequency content.

Unless someone has bought this and verified it's actually different from other units that look identical, this isn't a deal and you will be disappointed if you expect quality 1080p

This thing has potentials. If it is like the one below, it also ignores HDCP. I follow the following guide:

Pretty cool idea for time shift recording. It also has a bit of review of the device.

Yes but you will have a few frames of lag due to buffering. Not good for fast-paced or rhythm games.

You have a cable that converts composite to HDMI? Are you sure it's just a cable and it doesn't include a converter of some sort? HDMI cannot carry analog (composite/component) signal so likely there's a converter.

In that case, then use it should work because your converter should convert to a standard HDMI signal which can be captured by this.

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.
All the USB 3 ones are a scam. They have 4 pins (USB 2), not 9 pins (USB 3). They colored the connectors blue and falsely claim they are USB 3.

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.
No, the USB 3 ones and USB 2 ones are identical, except for the blue plastic. Look at your supposed "USB 3" connector. Where are the 5 extra pins? It is "unstable" at 60fps because it's USB 2.0 chip can't carry that much data.

It looks like this could record digital 8 mm videos from my old Sony DCR-TRV120 handycam? It has a dv in/out port. It looks like there is a firewire cable for this

I'm having trouble finding a DV to HDMI cable, and wonder if it exists.

Not sure if you mean composite or component (red/white vs red,green,blute).It would work if you had a composite to HDMI adapter but if you go that route, you might as well by a composite to USB adapter directly.
