Song at 6:08 - 7:15 is Clova by Pylot for those wondering.
my only dissapointment is that it seems its output is 30fps even though its meant to be 60fps
ya i bought a 18 dollar one.. my ps5 says output says 4k 60fps. i hope its not 30fps
Got this, and it's been a pretty good plug and play. Just using it with an old go pro for as a webcam.
Does it record gamechat and partychat
@@tristandenysschen9958 could record my party chat because i have the party char playing on my monitor
@@immigrants5076 thx
I got this for Animal Crossing and it works pretty good for the price. Sometimes it will drop frames while streaming or will not update the streak right away at times but I also use my laptop instead of a regular computer so it could just be my laptop cannot handle it but overall it is a pretty good capture card for it being cheaper
So I just bought one of these off Amazon (the LEADNOVO varient)... My only issue is that it looks like in the OBS preview that I am not getting 60fps. It looks like its skipping frames/jittery... I have a very strong computer that I built only a few months ago, so my PC should be plenty powerful. I double/triple checked and yes, the settings on the video capture in OBS says 60fps... any ideas on how to fix this?
Only does 30fps at 1080p. If you want 60fps you have to drop it down to 720p. I see reviews saying it does 1080p60 but while the software lets you select it, it's just duplicating every other frame.
(Actually, checking the PCB it's totally different to the one in this video, with different chips. The outside case is absolutely identical so there's no way to tell.)
Thank you! Bought it 3 months ago. I cant get 60fps with it. thought the problem was my i5 - 6400 cpu (integrated streaming pc without gpu)
What cap card are you using? Do you think need to upgrade my cpu tu achieve 60fps recording, with your capture card?
I did well to read the comments, thank you!
There's no issue with any of these cheap capture cards. I was able to record in full 4k 60fps on a $20 capture card. The capture card itself doesn't have any power at all. All the power depends on how strong your PC is. All the capture card is doing is showing a image and that's it. My rig is kinda old now. Ryzen 7 first generation paired with a RX 480 GPU. Only OBS running with something else running separately on another you can record in 4k 60fps. Even if you can't record in full 4k 60fps. You can always upscale your footage for free. Example, If you recorded something in 720p 29.94 same as 30fps. You can bring the footage to a program called Handbreak and change 29.94 to 60fps and also change the resolution. There's 2 options you have to always pick when you upscale. Denoise and Sharpen. Without activating these options, the upscale will look terrible. Always Denoise and Sharpen.
@@100Bucks I've got 2 (and a Core i9 but this doesn't matter). Testing one and claiming there's no issue with any of them, and saying you can just convert 30 to 60 in post, tells me all I need to know.
@@googleboughtmee Its just my input. OBS running with no other program running in the background lets me record in full 4k 60fps with a completely different device connected to the PC. Now if I run a game that's on the same PC with OBS running at the same time. I can only record in 1080p 60fps. OBS running by itself with a separate input gives me the full 4k 60fps. Also did this test on a weaker PC. A celeron laptop. It wasn't same results. 720p at 29.94 and 360p at a full 60fps. The capture card does absolutely nothing but produce the image on the screen. What you record depends on your PC hardware. Therefore, Elgato is a huge scam.
good review I think I'm still going to get the ElGato Cam Link but this will be a decent option for those who dont want to spend over 100 dollars.
Wondering what mic are you using in this video, it sounds great
Hey @EposVox just a small note, I got one of these and I noticed that when I tested on a 2011 Mac Mini with USB 2.0 there was a delay on sound for about 1-2 secs. When I tested on an old Win10 laptop with USB 3.0 there was no delay. I'm wondering if it was because it was USB 2.0 for the audio delay? Or it's Mac OS? Might be something to look into.
I got one for $36 that’s supposed to do 1080p60 from my camera - so it’s the 4k that matters mostly?
This looks great otherwise (for the price that is), but the preview delay is a disappointment. I'm looking for something to basically just play switch in a window, just more handy to play pokemon on a computer with all the damage calcs and other resources at hand so it's not like i need perfect zero latency, but ever navigating menus at 100ms+ additional delay is pretty brutal.
What program can you use to play the video live on your PC? Im not trying to stream, as much as record while I play the game on my monitor for later reviews. But I cant figure out a way to live-watch/play my game...
Hi...I use same camera as you, SONY A6400. How you remove all displaying menu from the screen? When I using a capturecard, all menu displayed at my dony display will displayed also in the OBS. I really need your advices. Thanks a lot.
i'm using it for livesteaming but the headphone jack doesn''t seem to work.
I’ve used avermedia products since 2013 in a 2nd desktop. All of cards I’ve used from them have the same fatal flaw for my streaming of mmorpgs - the inability to properly rend the red channel. Red text looks like a garbled mess on stream and in recordings and I have no idea if this is because the cards are or are not 4:4:4.
I’m looking for a usb solution now that will be plugged into a newer Alienware m17 with 3070 and want to avoid these text issues. What’s the top usb option today?
I have this capture card and the pass through isn't working for me. I am trying to figure out if it's my set up that's wrong or if the unit is faulty and I need a new one. I'm using it for live streaming a church service. Ok, here goes --
1. Camera connects to capture card to "HDMI Input"
2. Sound from soundboard goes into the "mic" jack of the capture card.
3. USB out goes to a computer, which then is live streamed on FB / YT / Zoom / whatever.
Now I'm attempting to connect a smart TV from the HDMI Output to one of the HDMI input on the TV. But the TV isn't recognizing it. The HDMI cable used is directional so I made sure and check to make sure the cable is plugged in correctly and they are.
How do I get the TV to recognize the HDMI output? Theoretically, it should just show up, right?
MJPEG is one of the first digital video formats ever created. It was created back in the early 1990s and designed to run on single core machines. The most modern drivers from it only go up to about 2010 when development ceased. There was no reason to use it anymore with h.264 rising to prevalence. The only advantage it had was that it could literally run on a potato. A lot of these Chinese companies found out they could put it on devices that cost practically nothing to manufacturer in this day and age and sell them as HD video capture cards. Technically they were not lying but I don't think the people buying them realize how old the recording tech is in them.
You need an intra-frame codec for something real time like this so almost all the benefits of using something like h.264 go out the window when that exists as a requirement. Sure you could use a constrained intra version of h.264 but it doesn't buy you much. This is not compressing for storage it's just compressing to fit it on a wire. Uncompressed YUY at these resolutions would require thousands of mbps of bandwidth which is fine for an HDMI cable but challenging over USB and impossible over USB 2.
Hello quick question, can I use this for my ps4 to pc ? I am new to this stuff not sure how it works and I haven’t got money for the expensive capture cards :(
I like the audio from that mic!
Ironically enough, I managed to get a used Avermedia Live Gamer Portable C875 for roughly the same price as those generic 4k HDMI USB 3.0 based capture cards (albeit for $50 Canadian Dollars since I live in Toronto) and I've been loving it since. So it's possible to get a used or even refurbished capture cards/devices for even around 50 bucks. :P
Hello. Could you please answer me a question? I have the same card… I have the Nintendo Switch as source playing a game in 1080P in 60 FPS. It looks butter smooth on TV but on OBS even tough OBS tells me the source is in fact 60 FPS it’s not as smooth as the TV and the recording not as well. It looks more like 30FPs even though it says it’s in 60. What could this be? I tried every setting and even a different computer.
So at some point the Winstars version of this was actually USB 3 5gbit - with the chips sanded down so you couldn't ID it properly. I have one.
Thanks for the review. I do not play games, i am looking for a card like this just to be used as webcam for live streeming using mty dslr that is all. Did you try it out? BTW if i may ask, what is the setting of your audio? I use premiere and Audacity. thanks in advance. P.S eventually i will a proper card for my PC, i just dont to blow $200+ yet
you could always add a small heat sink to it and make a custom case like people do with raspberry pi's
ok i need help i got something like this but its really laggy is it my computer or the capture card itself
So I have this capture card and it does not show on my laptop when I try to use it on StreamLabs to connect to my Nintendo switch. Does it not work for laptops (I have a intel(r) core(tm) i7-6500u cpu @ 2.50ghz)
It supports 4:4:4 so it is a good choice for use it with a retrotink 2x mini for nes capture? I’ve been having color issues with the can’t link
I am needing 1080i rather than 1080p from the device you show at 1:42, but cannot find any software that supports interlaced video. Please can you help me in this respect?
so i have c920 a snowball mic and and a half decent pc . but i play heavy console ... is this a cheap cop out for me streaming to FB ?
I bought one and tried one. There was an a/v lag I couldn't resolve. I'm thinking the device, despite saying it was a 3.0 usb device was a 2.0 usb device. The video came about 1.5 seconds before the audio. I could async audio to the video, but the delay was too bad to make any game capture on the device unplayable. It probably would have been ok for a camera capture. I ended up returning it.
I got the issue
I couldnt get mine to capture 1080p 60 ... it shows 1080p 60 on OBS but framerate still 30. Any sugestions?
A USB A to A cable is inherently wrong, as it is against the definition in the standard. Any device which has this shows that the maker didn't care about this standard, so probably didn't care about any standard.
There should be another easy to use connector readily available for this purpose
Well, if You have an USB-A to USB-A connection in any external device (HDD enclosure, SATA/IDE -> USB adapters, etc.) You can always use an USB-A to USB-C cable if You have an USB-C port in Your laptop or Desktop. I used that in my sata/ide adapter and I-tec HDD enclosure and it works like a charm, so for me isn't a problem. Of course it would be better if it had an USB-C connector onboard but USB-A seems to be just cheaper for a chinese manufacturer.
i have this same capture card but the device name keeps coming up as "USB video" and OBS just streams a black screen. all the video si have seen have the name as "USB3.0 HD VIDEO" is it possible that my PC is treating it as a camera? how can I fix this
Whats the settings you have on the capture card i have slight delay frame lost
I’m having issues wit my audio I jus got this same capture card but can’t seem to get my audio to play loud while on stream labs obs
We’re looking to capture gameplay on OBS from our Mega Drive, Saturn and Dreamcast using HDMI solutions … does this card work with OBS? The dual HDMI to allow us to play the game latency free while feeding OBS would be really great. Would this do the job?
Ok question I have this card! But I can't get it to pick up my headset or mic in obs but I can hear if I plug into the ps4 controller any help??
I’m new to streaming I bought this and hooked up up but on my stream I don’t have any audio, why is that?
do you have the video for the square type 1080p at 60fps capture card ? I want to see if there is any fan
I recently bought mine and hdmi input and output works but it keeps on disconnecting, the lights would stay one and then they begin to flicker then they will disconnect me, is there a way I can fix it ?
How are they supported in Linux? Is there source that can be compiled for ARM on Raspberry Pi4?
my only question is can you talk to party chat on ps4 and hear game audio at the same time, and does the stream pick it up as well?
How do I make it work,,, I set everything up and my OBS doesn't seem to want to share the video? I don't understand why
hey, would this card be any good for capture video from sony a5100 for streaming?
The thing about 480i is that it looks like crap after posting that quality on TH-cam with my Elgato HD. It looks fine on my computer, but the gameplay footage is a mess after it goes through TH-cam processing.
TH-cam uses a pretty crappy, fast de-interlacing algorithm in order to just spit the videos up as quick as possible. You're better off finding software like FFMPEG or even something like Adobe Premiere and de-interlacing yourself using whatever algorithm looks best to you.
I just got one, the output to the display is only showing a blank screen. I have a Idek Iiyama PL4071UH 40 inch display 4K,,, any ideas ?...
i need some help. every time i try to record theres this clicking sound and it doesn’t record gameplay audio only the clicking noise
I have questions what if you don't have pc and you want rec video capture card can you use it or do still use it with pc
New to the capture card game…would this be okay with PS3? I’ve seen that some work but others won’t. Just trying to find a cheaper option than the elgato.
Hey dude do u got any spare cards around that would work with an xbox one?
Finally, somebody is telling people how it is!
I bought one of the linked capture cards and opened it up. They kindly put heatsinks on all the chips. If you buy one of these you might get lucky like me.
Which one did you get?
@@ezr7305 It says "page not found" on amazon now but it was that second one linked up in the description.
@@RamonHernandez I just got an identical looking one and it too has heatsinks. I opened it up thinking "well I guess I can add my own heatsinks" and they were already there.
what about this capture card for grabbing my dsrl camera at 60pfs? how does it work?
Is there any clearance in the case to add like.. a raspberry pi heatsink? They're pretty low clearance and I believe if they'd fit it may be a good solution for heat problems.
What the best for eos m50 full HD 60 fps?
So can u plug a usb stick with videos on it into this and then use the hdmi output from this and plug it into a projector to watch the videos with sound from this device.
The lights turn on and off immediately after I plug in the power USB cable into a port and doesn't activate at all.
Is anybody having this issue or is it just me..?
friend got me this capture card for christmas, and it just burnt out on me. nice to know i wasn't the only one who had their card burn out.
Idk but the it cant record my audio im using streamlabs and obs and im selecting the right answer but it cant record the audio how do i fix it?
So does the latency part mean that when I am playing a game, the response time from the button is delayed?
If i have hdr enabled will it be a black screen? or will it just look like crap?
Hi @EposVox , I bought the same capture card some time ago to record and stream pubg mobile with my rog phone 3 and obs. I have an issue recording audio... I can easily record internal audio when I'm playing but I can't if I turn on the in game mic to chat with my teammates. The internal audio comes out from the phone speakers and I can't hear anything from my headphone... So I have to use some audio splitters? Can you help me pls? I'd really appreciate bro!
The issue I am having is when I plug my headphones into the aux jack I get bad feedback. How can I fix this?
Can I use an external hdd that supports USB3.0 to store my gameplay?
I have this. On obs it records great no lag no nothing. But once its in my computer videos its laggy and doesn’t look nothing how it did in obs. Can you help please. Or someone.
Can’t seem to get the audio to come through my stream with this card. Is that not a thing?
i just need one to be able to play on my pc and get audio, will this work for me? i just wanna play on my pc
Does capture card latency affect your DSLR camera too or just game capture?
Will this work for djs on twitch?
I have this and I've been trying to record videos from obs and I can't figure out good settings. I am recording PS4 and any text or flat graphic seems to have scrambled pixels next to it. Is there a certain name for this?
I can't tell if this is an issue with obs, or if it's the capture card itself. This is even shown in the obs preview. I have everything at 1920x1080 as far as I know.
Sounds like scaling artifacts
So I have this, use it to stream from my Mac and stream switch games, works great, only one thing, I can’t get the audio correct. I can record sound from switch and my voice all good, but when I play fortnite or party games with in game voice I can not join voice chat. Any advice??
would this work to stream pc with only 1 pc?
Great video! Anyone know why I can't get it to work via OBS scene? I use an ASUS x13 laptop to stream ad want to share/swap a scene where its video/audio on a macbook. I can hear the audio through my headset but audience cannot. :/
I been streaming with this beast
Crash Bandicoot 4
Outlast 2
N currently Alice Madness
Great capture card!
im having so many problems with the i bought , the video capture is great from my series x to my computer/OBS but i cant get the audio from my xbox to show up .. and i cant find anything online about if the card can even pick up sound ... so idk im kinda stuck can u tell me or show me how to get the sound from my xbox to show up .. ive tried everything .. =(
Do you recommend this capture card for Android? I just need 1080p at 60fps, does this card run at 60? I saw in other places they run realistically at 30.
30 only.
so I am looking at these for a cheap capture for stuff I'm doing on firewalls and stuff.. Have you tried this in 1080P >1080P capture?
Anyone know how to get the audio to work in Slobs/obs? Just got mine today but can’t figure that part out
what bitrate do u recommend for 1080p 60fps on one of these , cuz here on my end this looks flawless !!!!
Instead of the audio from my Xbox the source in OBS is producing this horrendous buzzing sound & haven’t figured out how to remedy it yet
Yeah i definitely didn't get it for 4K. 1080p60 for a PS4 is fine. Wish I could color tune but when I got it for $60, it was not a bad find at all. I just need to get better at figuring out how to get my sound lined up better for monitoring but that's just my own human error.
Is it possible to record directly to external HDD without pc?
I bought one of these and sent that shit back expeditiously and just bought an Elgato HD60. NOT GOOD. *explosion*
Is the microphone port a line in audio ? I mean is it possible to use it with a chat link ?
How do i get the PS5 gameplay audio being recieved on the capture card to actually go through to my USB headset??? 🤔
hello. Do you know of solution for connecting a phone with 1080X2400 res to this device? it does not work on my S21 phone. i can not change my phone res to regular 1080P. Thanks :-)
Hi, I have some issues with the game capture and I think im so stupid with the set up. Idk if you can help me someday on a discord's call or something.
I've been looking 4 videos to know how to put it on work I hope you can save me. Sorry about my english
I use the same card for ps5 and in my videos i have a strange noise in backround..in don't now why!
I don’t get it mine spasms and randomly goes back to the color screen displaying that it can’t find the video. I DONT KNOW WHAT’S WRONG
Will this work on a PS2 will an AV/ HDMI adapter
on some motherboard models this capture only goes up to 960x540, does anyone know how to solve this?.. I have computers that it works well, and others have this limitation
When I stream you cant hear in game sound help. Using 2pc setup.
I have used this capture card and it works ok but i have 2 MAJOR complaints, 1. When u use an elgato chatlink cable - When i press the options button and scroll threw options or menus in various games it makes a pop/crackling noise this i can only get rid of if i plug my headset directly into it 2. probably my biggest complaint is that when i record game play - the game audio becomes offsync from the actual video and this i do not know how to correct at all. My PC runs at low CPU usage at least for me around 16% and everything in OBS looks fine but when i watch my recorded footage the audio is messed up.....Any solutions on how to correct this??????
You can add a delay to the audio track to synch with the video 😉
I need help please, I was able to hook up everything right except one thing and that was the game audio, I know exactly how to but the problem is the word “ USB 3.0 Capture HDMI” won’t pop up in the audio device, I’ve tried everything! (note I’m using a Windows computer on my PS5 with a monitor) If anyone has a answer please help me out.
I'm considering buying this capture card with your linK! but just one question, my needs are recording a camera 1080 60fps for zoom meetings this will do the job? and at 4k?
This will capture your 1080p60 camera at 1080p60 yes
Do you know how i add chat from playstation party to stream using the capture card
Is this capture card compatible with next gen consoles as well
I need some help guys , I hope someone can give me an answer
I have the exact same one I connect it to PlayStation and tv and obviously laptop which is nitro gaming laptop, when I go on the Obs to go in source to see if it picks up I don’t see it in the drop down box I’m only seeing my web cam
Mine is no longer being recognized on my computer, just straight up not working...
Iv got the same but OBS isnt getting the sound how can i fix this???
Can anyone help me? I have a one plus 9 pro and I have been streaming fine for at least a week. I come home today and plug in my phone to start streaming and it resets my phone after freezing it. It does this and power cycles over and over again. Is it my phone? The card? I'm losing my shit. What do I do?
