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.

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)

2.0) or the 3.5mm analog audio input (selectable via conguration
