Why consider this model?

  • A portable SD/HD capture/playback bridge for SDI or analog sources when the computer has USB4 or Thunderbolt 4 and keyed SDI/HDMI monitoring outputs are useful.

Tradeoffs to weigh

  • There is no HDMI input or 4K capture. USB-C alone is not sufficient; this is a 40Gbps USB4/TB4 unit. Its HDMI output is monitoring, not source passthrough.
