Explore this buying guide ↗Why consider this model?
- An earlier external USB capture reference for unencrypted HDMI where Windows/OBS capture up to 1080p120, lower 4K30 recording or a separate high-rate passthrough requirement can be considered.
Tradeoffs to weigh
- The 4K60 figure is passthrough, not capture; maximum capture is 4K30. HDR recording is listed only up to 1080p60 and is not paired here with OBS or passthrough. VRR recording requires Windows firmware and RECentral 4, HDCP content is unsupported, and the manufacturer US listing showed sold out when checked; no third-party availability or warranty is assessed.
