For anyone with kids or who plays. This can be used to play a nintendo switch on your ipad or laptop. Portable, smaller docks are also available. Side note very suspicious as I literally brought 2 capture cards this week for the above listed purpose.

Reviews look overall good on the surface but if you dig into the low reviews, you can see that the USB port is not 3.0 and the device doesn't actually capture 60fps at 1080p.

Thanks! I went in for one. Having pass-through at this discounted price is awesome. Looking forward to recording my Switch and modern-retro systems (Evercade, Polymega, etc.).

Will this capture Hulu, Netflix, etc. if played on your computer? Then transferred to iPad to watch on the road.

Will these devices both handshake HDCP successfully and then ignore it at the same time?

Otherwise does this still require the use of something like a separate HDCP device (like an HDMI splitter) for sources which require successful HDCP handshakes?

With device like this my guess is the latter (especially since most documented sources are PC and not, for example, a Switch running the Netflix app).

Good luck!

I might get downvoted for this but if this is the trouble you'd be going through to watch Hulu and Netflix on your Ipad you might get yourself interested in Plex. Plex will make watching whatever you like much easier so long as your ok with sailing the high seas. I can imagine using this to record hulu would be awful. Anyway...

Nice specs. Don't particularly have a use in mind but at this price and after that standing Ovation video review, feels hard to pass up this item and not think of something cool to use for. Thanks repped.

Streaming platforms played on apps or browsers are DRM which means the screen on that system will go black and even with that, the best audio recording windows permits is stereo. I wouldnt buy a device like this for recording anything except games or commentary. From the reviews it sounds like the video is less than 1080 and sound is mono. Not the best choice and even then, theres no real way to avoid background noise.

I bought this in the last SD post and I'm returning it. The recording image is squished and blurry. However, I'm the monitor display, it looks fine. I could hardly read some text from the recording.

I'm using OBS and it said 1080 for resolution.

I bought a different more expensive brand and the result is opposite. The recording image is perfect. But the monitor display has a squished image.

What's going on?

I see on Amazon a couple of other similar devices for the same price or less. How is this device any better? Example https://a.co/d/7fO9nXz

All of the cheapo capture devices that use this same chipset output mono audio...except it's made from the interleaved stereo channels Smilie

Use https://github.com/cehbab/mono-to...o/releases to end up with a proper 48khz stereo output.

(Run it in a 'DOS'/CMD window in Windows)

mono-to-stereo.exe -? shows extra options

All of the ones around this price point and cheaper are using the same guts, so you'll find cheaper ones.

You DO want something that has HDMI passthrough/'loop'/etc. though!

If you're trying to do something like capture gameplay, these introduce like 3-7 frames of latency between input and showing it in the capture program like OBS/VirtualDub/AMCAP/etc., and the passthrough lets you plug in another display to look at instead that just shows the input directly.

You can also find some that include 3.5 audio in (Mic) and out.



So for right around the same price, I'd suggest something with both hdmi passthrough and the audio stuff, like:

(Same generic 'Video Capture with Audio' version)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C9WNVTSN
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DG8PBHZ5
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BZ9H78T

Different design:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C2CG2H7W

etc.



Also note for anyone grabbing these things. No, they won't do 1080P @ 60FPS. Only 720P and below will be at 60FPS. You can choose 1080P & 60FPS as a capture, but every other frame in the output will be the same as the previous. It's not a bandwidth, USB limit, or PC CPU power thing, it's just how the chipset in these is.


Also ignore any USB 2.0/USB 3.0 designation...I've messed with enough variants of these to say that they are all USB 2.0 devices.

Why in the world would you use this to play a Switch on another screen instead of just......idk, playing it on the Switch screen? This makes absolutely no sense lmao.
