While the passthrough and output is limited to 1080p, if you like to record or stream oldschool consoles, this is really quite good.Has some unique features that other capture cards I have are not capable of. For instance if you like doing comparisons between different console versions of a game, or different regional stuff. The side by side, PiP and swapping at the push of a button on the hardware itself is so incredibly useful.OBS and Xplit both handle the output just fine, they know what it is right away. Can add it as an input with a few clicks. So setup is great.It is a little pricey for being limited to 1080p 60hz, but the other features do slightly make up for it.Overall, its a good capture device. If you can use the features to the full extent this is one to consider.

I got this video capture box for my daughter to use as she has been recording gameplay to edit and upload online and her computer, while it handles her games fine (2560x1080 resolution at 120Hz), it stutters and often drops below 30 fps when recording (m.2 NVME drive, so not the storage). Once I got this capture box setup right for her system, she can now record her gameplay in OBS and still get 60fps constant at full resolution.I don't really understand the dual input though, as if I had 2 computers to generate output, I wouldn't need the second input on the card as the 2nd machine could handle the recording. When I ordered the card I was thinking that the second input would be from her webcam, like shown in the picture, but the webcam output is via USB-C and this box uses dual HDMI input. Now if I wanted to do a multi camera setup using my laptop, I could output the laptop webcam to the capture box via HDMI as a secondary input on the box and send all of that combined to the PC for OBS to capture.Either way, this video capture box works and does what it says, it easily handles the 2560x1080 input and passes it through when my daughter is not recording and sends it back to the PC via USB-C at 1080x60 as an alternate input stream. Because of this, you can select both the direct GPU output and the capture box output to display on the monitor (so GPU out to the capture card via HDMI, back in to the PC via USB-C, and then back out through the GPU again to the monitor... crazy stuff).It works as advertised and does what it is supposed to, so I'm good with it.

This is an HDMI capture device that will capture two simultaneous inputs, perform some basic video mixing, then send the result to the HDMI output.The device captures uncompressed-only (this is good). It reports being able to capture both YUYV and RGB up to 1080p @ 60fps. It uses the UVC protocol, so no driver is needed. It should work with any computer, including Mac and Linux machines. I was able to confirm the device actually connects at 5 Gb/sec over USB 3.0, which is necessary for recording uncompressed formats at 1080p/60fps.As previously mentioned, you can plug in two HDMI video sources. The device has a very basic built-in video mixer that you control using a few buttons. You can combine your two video inputs in a few different configurations, or simply switch between them. The buttons are illuminated so you can see them in a dark room, which is nice.While this would be useful for streaming gameplay, I believe the device lacks a true "thru" output. This means both outputs go through the device's internal processing path, and therefore are subject to lag. This may result in additional input lag when playing games. I tested it with a Nintendo Switch, and didn't notice significant lag that negatively affected my gameplay. However, if you're sensitive to input lag, you'll want to be aware of this as it's definitely going to add some.This thing doesn't require external power, as the power and data is carried over USB-C. The included USB-C cable has a USB-C to USB-A adapter so you can use either depending on your setup. I like using the USB-A connection with my laptop so I can keep the USB-C port free for charging.The device is made of aluminum and gets quite warm during use.Overall, this is a solid piece of gear for doing video capture and/or streaming, just make sure any additional input lag you experience is acceptable to you.
