What we liked

  • + The HDMI loop-out passes the source on to a monitor or TV while the card captures at 1080p 60Hz.
  • + A mic-in jack lets you plug in a headset or microphone and record voice with the video, no extra adapter needed.
  • + Plug and play with no drivers or external power, and it works with OBS, XSplit, VLC and DSLR cameras.

Trade-offs

  • - Capture resolution is 1080p: the 4K figure applies to the HDMI input and loop-out, not to the recording.
  • - The listing does not name the capture chipset or give latency figures, so low-latency claims stay general.
