1. INTRODUCTION
This HDMI to USB video capture recorder with HDMI bypass can
support resolutions up to 18Gbps (600MHz) 4K UHD with HDR (via the
bypass path) while simultaneously streaming the audio and video
signal at 1080p to a USB connected PC for capture or re-broadcast.
HDMI sources up to 1080p60 are supported for capture without
modication, while 4K sources will be automatically scaled down to
1080p. The use of a special video timing stabilization feature helps to
ensure that the USB capture stream won’t lock up or drop, even if the
HDMI input source is intermittent or becomes disconnected. Digital
stereo audio from either HDMI (LPCM 2.0) or the 3.5mm analog audio
input will be captured with the HDMI video source and is selectable
within the conguration software.
USB capture is accomplished using the UAC (USB Audio Class) and
UVC (USB Video Class) standards, allowing the unit to support most
common video capture, chat, or streaming software, including
support for the Free OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) streaming
software which is available for Windows PC, macOS and Linux. The
unit is powered directly by the USB 3.0 port so an external power
supply is not required (A Y-cable is required when connected via USB
2.0 in order to deliver the necessary power). Availability and access to
the controllable features of the unit depend on the capture software
used.
2. APPLICATIONS
• Live video stream recording for broadcast
• Security camera recording
• Gameplay video archival
3. PACKAGE CONTENTS
• 1×HDMI to USB Video Capture Recorder

and output
• Supports Deep Color input and output up to 12-bit
• Supports 10-bit and 12-bit HDR (High Dynamic Range) input/output
• Automatically scales 4K sources to 1080p for USB capture
• Unit may be powered directly via USB 3.0 (When using USB 2.0, a
Y-cable is required to provide additional power)
• Supports video timing stabilization to help ensure a reliable and
stable USB capture stream
• Capturing over USB 3.0 allows uncompressed video and audio data
capture (up to 1080p, LPCM 2.0)
• Capturing over USB 2.0 requires the application of minimal MJPEG
compression to the video and audio data (up to 1080p, LPCM 2.0)
• Supports capturing 2 channel digital audio from either HDMI (LPCM
2.0) or the 3.5mm analog audio input (selectable via conguration
software)
• Compliance with the UAC (USB Audio Class) and UVC (USB Video
Class) standards, allows the unit to support most common capture
and video streaming software
Note: Availability and access to the controllable features of the unit
depend on the capture software used.
• Support for the Free OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) streaming
software which is available for Windows PC, macOS and Linux

1POWER LED: This LED will illuminate RED to indicate the unit is on and
receiving power but does not yet have a live HDMI source. When
a live HDMI source is detected, the LED will illuminate GREEN.
2ACTIVE/RECORD LED: When software on the connected PC is
actively receiving video from the unit via USB, this LED will illuminate
GREEN.
3HDCP LED: This LED indicates the HDCP state of the connected
HDMI source. If the source is using HDCP 1.x, the LED will illuminate
RED. If the source is using HDCP 2.2, the LED will illuminate BLUE. If
the source is not using HDCP, the LED will remain off.
Note: Recording video sources containing HDCP protection is not
supported by this unit. Only HDMI bypass will be active with HDCP
sources.

6.3 Conguration and Video Capture
6.3.1 Video Capture Conguration
The USB Video Capture Control software provides control over a
selection of basic functions of the unit, including: audio source, HDCP,
video settings and volume. An option to return the unit to its factory
defaults is also provided.
Note: Please obtain the “USB Video Capture Control” software from
your authorized dealer and save it in a directory where you can easily
nd it. Both Windows and macOS versions are available.
To use the software, connect the unit to your PC via the provided USB
3.0 cable and then execute the control application. A conguration
window, similar to the screenshot below, will appear. All changes
made to the video capture signal via this app will take effect
immediately.
1) Audio Source: Switch the audio source to record between the
embedded HDMI audio and the analog line input.
Note: Only LPCM 2.0 audio can be recorded. Bitstream audio is
not supported.
2) HDCP: Enable or disable HDCP support on the HDMI input.

6
Note: Disabling HDCP support may enable the recording of the
output of some source devices (typically PCs/Macs) that enable
HDCP encryption even when it is not required by the current
video content. Once HDCP support is disabled on this unit, the
connected device should automatically switch to a non-HDCP
mode as long as the playing content allows it. Certain other
source devices (such as most major video game consoles) enable
HDCP output by default, but will not automatically disable HDCP
based on the connected device’s reported capabilities. In order
to enable video recording of the output of these devices, HDCP
must be manually disabled using the game console’s own system
menu.
3) ProcAmp Controls: This section provides direct control over a
variety of video and audio settings when video capture is active.
Note: Changes to these settings have no impact on the HDMI
bypass output signal.
■ Brightness: Provides control over the overall brightness of the
captured video.
■ Contrast: Provides control over the overall contrast of the
captured video.
■ Hue: Provides control over the hue shift of the captured video.
■ Saturation: Provides control over the color saturation level of
the captured video.
■ Sharpness: Provides control over the amount of sharpness
processing to apply to the captured video.
■ Volume: Provides control over the audio volume of the
captured video.
■ Mute Audio: Mutes or unmutes audio in the captured video.
4) Factory Reset: Press the “Factory Reset” button to reset the unit
to its factory default state. After the reset is complete, the unit will
reboot automatically.
5) Detailed Signal Information: This section provides detailed
information about the current source and capture resolution,
HDCP state, DDC and hot-plug voltages, audio format and sample
rate, and current rmware version.

6.3.2 Video Capture
Video capture is accomplished using 3rd party software. The choice
of video capture software is entirely up to the user. This unit adheres
to the UAC (USB Audio Class) and UVC (USB Video Class) standards,
allowing the unit to support most common video capture, chat,
or streaming software, including support for the Free OBS (Open
Broadcaster Software) streaming software, among many other
choices. Availability and access to the controllable features of the unit
(such as capture resolution, recording storage format, etc.) depends
on which features the specic capture software package chooses to
expose.
Note: Many source devices (such as most major video game consoles)
force HDCP output by default, even when it is not required by the
content currently being output. In order to enable video recording of
the output of these devices, HDCP must be manually disabled using
the game console’s own system menu.
