I got info that Max and Disney don't work (while on the same device they work with Hagibis card and cable from my previous video), but I don't have them to test it. I tested this cable also with 1m extension cable and it worked perfectly, but I just ordered much longer extension, to test how long is possible. So there will be a follow up video.
@@jeffliu70 In my tests 3m were OK, but no more. However I need much more testing to be sure. With 1m I did much more tests. If you notice any problems, let me know. An extension of more than 3m was too long.
I got the cable a few days ago and it's amazing, thank you for telling me about it :) I find it cool how my pc and mac can both scale up to 4k resolution even though the Quest 3 only supports 1080p
This is it, this is the EXACT solution I wanted. The cable in this video is 2 meters, fantastic. The power input is on the input end of the cable. I am going to plug this into a 3 way hdmi switcher and just have all my consoles hooked up for this. Thank you for this video.
Back again to say I got this cable and it works great. Tested with ps5 and switch to quest 3. Bonus use case, this works with tablets with video capture apps as well. Turned my old ipad into a monitor that gets both power and video in with this cable. So now I need to buy myself a second one 😅
So the main difference between the last hagibis capture 'card' you suggested and this one is it's hdmi male instead of female, and has a longer usb-c cable so you don't need an extension cable anymore. That's a less messy setup to be sure, for hdmi-out use.
Something like that. This setup is all what you need for HDMI device which doesn't need charging. The other method is the best, when you have USB-C output and you want to charge both devices.

AWESOME! Thank you for all of the hard work. How do you think the quality is for using the Quest 3 as monitor for working from a laptop? Have you tried any simple tasks like simple video edits, writing code, etc?
@@brookep1 i was using Quest as a computer for a few weeks. Quality of the screen can be compared with FullHD monitor when the screen is huge. When is smaller, the quality is worst.
Using wifi streaming you can have multiple virtual monitors with higher resolution, framerate and freedom where you place them, this provided only a single 1080p window in meta home. Good option during flights or public transit, otherwise a simple travel router and virtual desktop gives a far more powerful experience.
After extensive experience with Dell Laptops and USB-C docking stations in company, where I work, I feel physical pain just by looking at USB-C cable connected horizontally and not supported by anything, let alone flexing/moving. I expect this to be main reason of Quest 3 death after extensive usage.

@@timpig3000 normally on this card colors don’t need any adjustments. First you need to test with some other device ig there will be okay. Check video output settings in Steam Deck, like hdr.
Great video again! Congratulations and I have one question. Is there any chance to connect a google chromecast to the quest 3...? Thanks and good luck!!!
HDCP is kind of a BIG deal for the new card/cable. No? I literally just received the other recommended capture card dongle so I dont know and haven't tested its HDCP handling limits.
I don't have experience with super fast monitors, but check comment below the previous video about capture card - people don't notice any lag at all, and this cable uses the same chip. It's much better than on many other capture cards.
Modded Vita needs video output? Quest doesn't have any video input, it needs to be connected like everything else, like I am showing on my videos. However I don't have Vita so maybe I misunderstood. Update: if USB-C is needed, my previous video shows a better setup for this purpose: th-cam.com/video/Yw6t8gM4op8/w-d-xo.html
@@raeldor i didn’t known that it works like that. So it could work if doesn’t need any special drivers, but someone has to test it because a lot of capture cards don’t work good on Quest.
Yes, you can sideload apps like Airscreen, AirPin etc. to use Airplay and other protocols. It's not so realible like AirPlay on officially supported devices, but it works.
Sorry, one more... In the description, you show: "CABLE FROM THE VIDEO" (and a link) and then "HDMI cable with PD" but they seem to be the exact same thing? (just one has extra usb-c to usb-a adapter), but one is much cheaper? Am I missing something?
@@Thomas_Voland Sorry, see it now. One has capture card, the other does not. I assume the PD port on both cables always charges *towards the USB-C side*? (so "main" cable charges quest if you connect a power source to it, and the other cable "switch" cable, charges the device (switch, SD, etc.) if you connect a power source to that one)
It works almost out of the box, but Quest doesn't have good audio output. I will make a video about this setup and upgrading it (hopefully by the end of this month).
Ive read these cables can be used to connect something like a Switch to an Android tablet, to use the tablet as the screen. Do you know which app it requires to do this?
@@davecomeau5719 they probably wont. For 3D you would need Double the bandwith, and also convert the HDMI 3D codec to something a quest could use like SBS, but even im not sure whether the HDMI Link app would support 32/9 ratio and also whether you have the option for the SBS mode for the HDMI Link App. Youre better of just ripping them and watching them from an external drive or from NAS
Is the latency any good? Wondering in case it can also be used as a capture card replacement and play from the obs preview itself or something like that
If you check comments in my previous video about capture card (it's the same chip) you will find opinions about using it with different equipment. Until now I saw only very positive feedback and info about not noticeable lag. But I am not sure what kind of processing is made in OBS and if it will be the same.
So, this works for devices with native HDMI port/output, not not something like the Switch or the Steam Deck/Ally. You get the benefit of not needing an extra cable, but limiting the amount of devices it's usable with, right?
Yes, however you can use this with everything if you use also hdmi to usb-c adapter (before you need also hdmi to hdmi cable to use with everything, but everyone have it). Main difference is that you cant charge both devices, just one.
@@Thomas_Voland That is true, we discounted that the other device is using it's own HDMI (or USB-C/HDMI) cable too. So really 3 things with the "old" method :)
Yes, that's why this is great for HDMI, and for USB-C the previous solution with card and special cable with PD. Hopefully I will also make a video about very small adapters HDMI to USB-C with PD.
Hi im getting only a black screen with audio that cuts in and out repeatedly. I set ps5 to 1080, turned off hdr, quest mic is not muted, all permissions allowed, tried the usb both sides into quest, screen info on black screen is showing perfect capture 1080 at 61 fps. Do you think i might have a faulty card? Thank you
@@Thomas_Voland in previous versions it doesn’t show an outline so it was kind of cool to see that because when it doesn’t show an outline, the vr immersion is broken and you realize that it isn’t mixed reality, but just a screen in front of your face. I might not see it because i have hand tracking off.
@@Top_Dawg360 so problem solved - if Quest doesn’t track hands I am almost sure that option like this would not work. I never use controllers (only during a game) so for me if I remember correctly, it was always like that.
@@AOEvolution1138 this is official brand store. Update - I just noticed that my video was published only 8 days ago, and you are worried that free shipping didn’t arrive to another country in this time? What oO
I bought the cables you recommended and it works great except for the fact that I haven’t been able to use headphones with the setup. Is there any way to use headphones while using the HDMI link? I have tried soundcore vr p10 wireless headphones and wired and neither work 😔
@@Dugonitron5000-ku6gt power delivery hub and maybe some other methods, but I am still waiting for equipment to test. Hopefully in about 1 weeks I will have everything.
@@Thomas_Voland I was using an old pair of corded Apple headphones. Just ordered some turtle beach gaming headphones that should be delivered tomorrow so I will give it a try once I receive them. Thanks for the quick reply!
Hi😃🖖 I was just about to play some flat-games like Metro Exodus, launched on my Windows laptop, and I didn't know how to achieve it in a better way. Will this cable allow me to play such games with good resolution? Does it work with Oculus Quest 2? Will the external storage of a laptop, or an SSD plugged into it, be considered the same as the internal one in the headset? I mean, I have a 360-degree camera, and I need to watch panoramas in VR to correct something while I edit them. Will it work?
It works on Quest 2 and resolution is 1080p (in 60 fps). External storage can be used only for things like watching movies and other content in apps like SkyBox etc.
Hi. I ordered one and it arrived today. But I receive an HDCP error when I try to look at Disney+ or Max content on the AppleTV. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong? TH-cam on AppleTV and content in my iTunes Library seem to work just fine. Thanks!
@@Thomas_Voland I tried changing the video out on the Apple TV to 1080p HDR and 1080p SDR, but both didn't work with Disney+ or Max content. Netflix, TH-cam app, my iTunes Library all worked fine in all formats (including the default 4k SDR). It's not a deal breaker. Still will definitely use it, but I'm glad I still have the original capture card and HDMI cable as that seems to be okay with HDCP. The joys of DRM! Thanks!
@@jeffliu70 I have the same issue with the iPad. Netflix seems to work fine but Prime video and Disney+ give HDCP error. That was a big use case for me so definitely something to be aware of. Not sure if the other capture card has the same issue
@@GeoPhilips I have both, and I confirm the original Hagibis capture card that Voland recommended (and that he also showed in this video) worked just fine with everything. So that is probably still the best overall setup, even if that setup requires an HDMI cable for some things like Apple TV or Xbox. The capture cable fits the bill in many scenarios, and I guess it depends on your use case. Both options work well with a laptop. Ultimately I was interested in using the Meta Quest 3 with my work laptop which is locked down -- and thus very difficult/impossible to use Immersed or other "streaming" options. Using HDMI or USB-C video output on the work laptop is not locked down (and also provides better performance/latency). I have been playing around with this for a while after I had found Voland's other earlier video which introduced side loading "USB Camera" android app before Meta came out with the official "HDMI Link" app. In conclusion, I'm happy that it works seamlessly and well. Would definitely use the Meta Quest 3 if I travel. I am more comfortable to use the Meta Quest 3 in a hotel room -- probably less comfortable using in public, e.g., at a cafe. AR glasses like the XReal or Viture are definitely less conspicuous and lighter weight, but the FOV and the display on the Meta Quest 3 is much much better.
I'm having an issue with the original set up, with switch dock w. PD to capture card w. PD. Every so often the video feed from my steamdeck will cut out and the video output display reverts back to the steamdeck's screen for a few seconds, then it just starts working again automatically. Do you know how or why this happens? I wonder if it's an issue where the charger cuts power to the switch dock, temporarily turning it all off. I'm not sure though. It's not super bad, but a bit annoying to happen while I'm gaming.
@@Thomas_Voland weirdly, connecting SD and Q3 to start with, then plugging the mains power in afterwards seemed to prevent further disconnecting. That is, with a sample size of one play session. Hopefully that's all that is required.
@@Thomas_Voland awesome, thanks for confirmation! Do we know why this happens then? It's odd as attaching the device to a already-powered dock is the standard mode of usage for a Nintendo Switch dock. Though I guess it's different as an OEM Switch dock can only be powered externally, whereas the Hagibis dock can also be powered by the host device. If there was some way to force the Hagibis dock into a mode where if only accepts external PD power and wouldn't use host power, perhaps with a mechanical button on the device, maybe that would prevent this video-cutting out issue from happening.
@@Shryquill i was referring to connecting power to the Quest. It makes problems when data and power are connected at the same time, but with this capture cable I don’t have this problem on 12v. However no matter what you connect to Quest (hub, sound card etc), almost always data must be connected without power, and power after device is connected.
You can. And if you use the other setup (this one th-cam.com/video/Yw6t8gM4op8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jY7bBI3oB536spau) you can plug the battery into the other device.
@@avia4281 for iPad: th-cam.com/video/Yw6t8gM4op8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UhYVe7hjFobs0I1-. And about cheap lightning to HDMI converters I don’t known much. And if you don’t want to be limited and watch also other content it must support HDCP which cheap dongles don’t do.
I don't have any experience with super-fast monitors, so I recommend reading the comments on my previous video regarding the Hagibis capture card, which has the same chip. In short: nobody has noticed any lag in any type of game thus far.
Yes. If you check the comments on all of my videos about this topic, you will see that many people have been using Playstation on Quest without any issues.
@@Thomas_Voland Hi thanks for quick reply. No I never used any power. plugged it into console then plugged it into headset and started app. The top 2 items were already selected in the app. I selected the usb option 3rd one down. should I not have selected that?
@@Thomas_Voland yup...tried it on my old laptop which is 1366x768 and worked perfectly fine. Tried again on PS3 - blank, tried on my PS5 and even forced resolution to 1920x1080 60hz. same thing.. audio cuts in and out and black screen. Looks like I got a faulty one probably...damn it.
So, just before I pull the trigger on one of these solutions. I would like to run Steamdeck and Switch content via the headset. I understand with the cable that's the subject of this video that I need to run via the dock for Switch but there is no such requirement with Steamdeck? It should just connect and go?
@@Toaster05 for Steam Deck this is the best, because you can charge (but don’t need to, only Switch needs power all the time) both at the same time: th-cam.com/video/Yw6t8gM4op8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=7gXLEVhQG3MKUsgU. Also this way you have USB-C on both ends, and not HDMI like in one cable solution.
@@Thomas_Voland I appreciate the reply. I will order the items from the previous set up then as it offers a bit more functionality. I very much enjoy your content. Thank you.
With a steam deck, unless you're on a flight or public transit you're likely better off just streaming using steam link vr, you can push higher resolution, up to 120fps and no need for any cables but simple usb-c charge. Steam link vr for quest beta version 2.0.11 has 2D streaming option built in, perfect for steam deck use.
@@able_archer_ I tried steam vr for the first time today and it was pure potato vision. I have a pretty crappy isp router and I just don't think it's up to snot. I don't mind being tethered so much.
@@able_archer_ Thank you for that information. I can use this cable for HDMI devices to quest 3; and wirelessly use "steam link VR" for a Steam deck to Quest 3
If I play Xbox or ps5 will the quality look better than playing a flat screen pc game like gta. On it.. u know how the edges get blurry. When doing of games! Is it the same?
@@ChrisJones-sw9il on VD should be okay by default. Maybe you are talking about limitations of the lenses but it would be the same without PC then, so I am not sure.
@@Thomas_Voland yeah I assume it would be the same!! But it’s like when u use virtual desktop u see your pc.. it’s always blurry on sides.. untill u look at that part. Like if I see Home Screen.. in middle the clock is blurry. Then I shift my eye to see the clock. And that part becomes good!! If it’s not like that :) then be awesome
@Thomas_Voland I plugged it into my headset like he did, opened up the hdmi link app and nothing comes through. I get the charge to the headset but no video. I tried with my rog ally, ps5 and pc
@@nthnglsn What do you mean by "nothing comes thtough"? It doesn't show that card is connected, permissions don't work, black screen or what? BTW. If you connected power first it will not work, you have to do as I said on the video - quest and power later. Or if you have charger with PD12V than you can try to connect power first, but on 9V Quest always have problems if data is connecting with charging. And many low wattage chargers are up to 9V anyway.
I've looked at all the product links. Can someone please tell me the length of the cable which connects to the Quest 3 (without using an additional cable to extend it)? Many thanks.
@@gogreengameon2146 there is info in description of my video. 2m/6.6ft and I tested it with 1m extension (I don’t have any longer) without any problems.

@@Eskoxo For many people it's like for me: quality doesn't matter when screen is so small and always choose cinema size screen. But it's good that we can choose what we need more.
@@MojoDragon Yes, in one of my videos I talk about my experiences with Elgato Camlink 4K. The setup based on Hagibis hardware works much better with Quest. With the money you will receive from selling Camlink, you can buy everything you need and even have some left over 😅. But for testing everything is okay.
So what do I need to get my ROG ally and Steam deck on my quest 3 through HDMI link. I am a bit lost just tell which items i need. cheapest way. I am sure you did but I got lost.
If you want to charge them without need to use dock, get this: th-cam.com/video/Yw6t8gM4op8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fC8_-IAxDYKp35mD Here are links directly to the equipment: Capture card: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DlGYh7N Cable (choose 4k@60Hz): s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DlK6KGR Extension cable: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Dncud2P
its only simpler when you want to connect an apple tv (what is bullshit). If you want to connect the switch/ipad to the quest you need now an hdmi adapter (female-female).
@@Thomas_VolandSteam Deck too. Can't find a USBC to female HDMI cable unless its a full dock. I just ordered the cables you recommended and a female to female adapter to hook them together
What a waste of time. You say you don't need a capture card with this version and then eventially say you need a capture card cable version. A capture card is a capture card regardless of what type it is! Oh... and this is old news using this version.
@@PJZombie I said that having this cable you don’t need to have capture cable, because this is capture device already. It is very clearly explained in the video. This is not old news, because this method is possible for a few days. Before such cable didn’t exist and a few parts were needed - a least 2, and not just one.
May I suggest an angled USB-CUSB-C extension adapter working as a strain relief? It should be tied to the Quest with something like a zip tie. Quest cables are often heavy but there is also a risk of pulling the cable accidentally and damaging the port. I bought ali 1005004635018805 but not sure if it's the best quality. Maybe you could find such adapter and make another video about them. Another interesting cable which I'm using right now is 1005002676145329.
Most of the time, I use Velcro or a small rubber band like the disposable ones used for hairstyles. However, this cable is so light that it doesn't make much of a difference.

@@Thomas_Voland Sorry, see it now. One has capture card, the other does not. I assume the PD port on both cables always charges *towards the USB-C side*? (so "main" cable charges quest if you connect a power source to it, and the other cable "switch" cable, charges the device (switch, SD, etc.) if you connect a power source to that one)
@@walterg74 yes
How did you connect the vive audio to your quest?! I’ve been looking for a solution just like that!
It works almost out of the box, but Quest doesn't have good audio output. I will make a video about this setup and upgrading it (hopefully by the end of this month).
@@Thomas_Voland sorry I mean which vive audio are you using and how does it attach?
@@MrDarkJesse From Vive Cosmos, it's ready to clip on almost every head strap.
Ive read these cables can be used to connect something like a Switch to an Android tablet, to use the tablet as the screen. Do you know which app it requires to do this?
USB Camera
@@Thomas_Voland thank you for the quick reply 😊
So could I connect this cable to a Playstation 4 and then play 3D bluray movies?? And would the quality be full HD highest quality?
This is for 2D, not 3D. However quality with this setup will be good: YUY4:2:2 without lagging in 1080p.
I had the same question. Hope they support 3D in the future!!
@@davecomeau5719 they probably wont. For 3D you would need Double the bandwith, and also convert the HDMI 3D codec to something a quest could use like SBS, but even im not sure whether the HDMI Link app would support 32/9 ratio and also whether you have the option for the SBS mode for the HDMI Link App.
Youre better of just ripping them and watching them from an external drive or from NAS
Would this work for sim racing.? I don’t care about watching tv with a headset on. Just curious if this replaces usb 3.0 quest link
It doesn't replace normal Link.
Is the latency any good?
Wondering in case it can also be used as a capture card replacement and play from the obs preview itself or something like that
If you check comments in my previous video about capture card (it's the same chip) you will find opinions about using it with different equipment. Until now I saw only very positive feedback and info about not noticeable lag. But I am not sure what kind of processing is made in OBS and if it will be the same.
It's works on the quest 2 or not please? Good video 😊😊
@@Wnto971 it works with Quest 2 and 3
Can that watermark on the lower right corner of the image be turned off? I see it in all YT videos covering this feature.
You just need to click on the window to turn it off.
@@Thomas_Voland thank you for the super-quick reply!
So, this works for devices with native HDMI port/output, not not something like the Switch or the Steam Deck/Ally. You get the benefit of not needing an extra cable, but limiting the amount of devices it's usable with, right?
Yes, however you can use this with everything if you use also hdmi to usb-c adapter (before you need also hdmi to hdmi cable to use with everything, but everyone have it). Main difference is that you cant charge both devices, just one.
@@Thomas_Voland That is true, we discounted that the other device is using it's own HDMI (or USB-C/HDMI) cable too. So really 3 things with the "old" method :)
We still need a usb-c connection adapter if both devices use this connection
Yes, that's why this is great for HDMI, and for USB-C the previous solution with card and special cable with PD. Hopefully I will also make a video about very small adapters HDMI to USB-C with PD.
Hi im getting only a black screen with audio that cuts in and out repeatedly.
I set ps5 to 1080, turned off hdr, quest mic is not muted, all permissions allowed, tried the usb both sides into quest, screen info on black screen is showing perfect capture 1080 at 61 fps.
Do you think i might have a faulty card? Thank you
In this case disable HDCP, it will solve the problem for 100%
@Thomas_Voland Yes. Works perfectly now. Thanks for the quick reply. Keep up the great work, Thomas :)
At 1:48 how do you make your hand become outlined when it goes behind the screen?
Is there a setting for that or is that from a new update?
This is default setting. Wasn’t it always like that?
@@Thomas_Voland in previous versions it doesn’t show an outline so it was kind of cool to see that because when it doesn’t show an outline, the vr immersion is broken and you realize that it isn’t mixed reality, but just a screen in front of your face.
I might not see it because i have hand tracking off.
@@Top_Dawg360 so problem solved - if Quest doesn’t track hands I am almost sure that option like this would not work. I never use controllers (only during a game) so for me if I remember correctly, it was always like that.

@@benhuson1 capture card is integrated inside, I am explaining this on the video.
Hi😃🖖 I was just about to play some flat-games like Metro Exodus, launched on my Windows laptop, and I didn't know how to achieve it in a better way. Will this cable allow me to play such games with good resolution? Does it work with Oculus Quest 2? Will the external storage of a laptop, or an SSD plugged into it, be considered the same as the internal one in the headset? I mean, I have a 360-degree camera, and I need to watch panoramas in VR to correct something while I edit them. Will it work?
It works on Quest 2 and resolution is 1080p (in 60 fps). External storage can be used only for things like watching movies and other content in apps like SkyBox etc.
Hi. I ordered one and it arrived today. But I receive an HDCP error when I try to look at Disney+ or Max content on the AppleTV. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong? TH-cam on AppleTV and content in my iTunes Library seem to work just fine. Thanks!
Maybe your TV Box is set to 4K, high refresh 🤔 is it the same on Apple TV app, Prime, Netflix?
@@Thomas_Voland I tried changing the video out on the Apple TV to 1080p HDR and 1080p SDR, but both didn't work with Disney+ or Max content. Netflix, TH-cam app, my iTunes Library all worked fine in all formats (including the default 4k SDR). It's not a deal breaker. Still will definitely use it, but I'm glad I still have the original capture card and HDMI cable as that seems to be okay with HDCP. The joys of DRM! Thanks!
@@jeffliu70 I have the same issue with the iPad. Netflix seems to work fine but Prime video and Disney+ give HDCP error. That was a big use case for me so definitely something to be aware of. Not sure if the other capture card has the same issue
@@GeoPhilips I have both, and I confirm the original Hagibis capture card that Voland recommended (and that he also showed in this video) worked just fine with everything. So that is probably still the best overall setup, even if that setup requires an HDMI cable for some things like Apple TV or Xbox. The capture cable fits the bill in many scenarios, and I guess it depends on your use case. Both options work well with a laptop. Ultimately I was interested in using the Meta Quest 3 with my work laptop which is locked down -- and thus very difficult/impossible to use Immersed or other "streaming" options. Using HDMI or USB-C video output on the work laptop is not locked down (and also provides better performance/latency). I have been playing around with this for a while after I had found Voland's other earlier video which introduced side loading "USB Camera" android app before Meta came out with the official "HDMI Link" app. In conclusion, I'm happy that it works seamlessly and well. Would definitely use the Meta Quest 3 if I travel. I am more comfortable to use the Meta Quest 3 in a hotel room -- probably less comfortable using in public, e.g., at a cafe. AR glasses like the XReal or Viture are definitely less conspicuous and lighter weight, but the FOV and the display on the Meta Quest 3 is much much better.
@@jeffliu70 thanks. That’s a big bummer for me because Netflix works anyway now on Quest and I was looking for a solution for Prime and Disney+
I don't care about streaming live content. Should I still get this cable?
I really doubt that anyone buy it for watching live content 🤔. The most popular use case is probably playing on consoles etc.

@@myst7341 no, this is for flat screen

I'm having an issue with the original set up, with switch dock w. PD to capture card w. PD.
Every so often the video feed from my steamdeck will cut out and the video output display reverts back to the steamdeck's screen for a few seconds, then it just starts working again automatically.
Do you know how or why this happens? I wonder if it's an issue where the charger cuts power to the switch dock, temporarily turning it all off. I'm not sure though.
It's not super bad, but a bit annoying to happen while I'm gaming.
First you have to try without connecting power, to be sure that that’s really what causes the issue.
@@Thomas_Voland weirdly, connecting SD and Q3 to start with, then plugging the mains power in afterwards seemed to prevent further disconnecting. That is, with a sample size of one play session. Hopefully that's all that is required.
@@Shryquill this is normal, I mentioned this in many videos
@@Thomas_Voland awesome, thanks for confirmation! Do we know why this happens then?
It's odd as attaching the device to a already-powered dock is the standard mode of usage for a Nintendo Switch dock.
Though I guess it's different as an OEM Switch dock can only be powered externally, whereas the Hagibis dock can also be powered by the host device.
If there was some way to force the Hagibis dock into a mode where if only accepts external PD power and wouldn't use host power, perhaps with a mechanical button on the device, maybe that would prevent this video-cutting out issue from happening.
@@Shryquill i was referring to connecting power to the Quest. It makes problems when data and power are connected at the same time, but with this capture cable I don’t have this problem on 12v. However no matter what you connect to Quest (hub, sound card etc), almost always data must be connected without power, and power after device is connected.
How's the latency?
@@subcog low, in comments you will find a low comments about it from people who’ve already use this for PS5 etc.
Wish I could plug it into the back battery 🔋
You can. And if you use the other setup (this one th-cam.com/video/Yw6t8gM4op8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jY7bBI3oB536spau) you can plug the battery into the other device.

You say you don't need a capture card with this version and then eventially say you need a capture card cable version.
A capture card is a capture card regardless of what type it is!
Oh... and this is old news using this version.
@@PJZombie I said that having this cable you don’t need to have capture cable, because this is capture device already. It is very clearly explained in the video. This is not old news, because this method is possible for a few days. Before such cable didn’t exist and a few parts were needed - a least 2, and not just one.
May I suggest an angled USB-CUSB-C extension adapter working as a strain relief? It should be tied to the Quest with something like a zip tie. Quest cables are often heavy but there is also a risk of pulling the cable accidentally and damaging the port. I bought ali 1005004635018805 but not sure if it's the best quality.
