1. INTRODUCTION
This HDMI to USB Video Capture Recorder with PIP can support resolutions
up to 18Gbps 4K UHD+ with HDR (via input 1 and the bypass path) while
simultaneously streaming a full screen or PiP/PoP audio/video signal at
1080p to a USB connected PC for capture or re-broadcast. HDMI sources up
to 1080p60 are supported for capture without modification, while 4K sources
from input 1 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 configuration 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

USB capture stream
• Capturing over USB 3.0 allows uncompressed video and audio data
capture (up to 1080p, LPCM 2.0)

6.3 Configuration and Video Capture
6.3.1 USB Video Capture Control Software
The USB Video Capture Control software provides control over a selection of
basic functions of the unit, including: primary HDMI source, audio source and
control, picture mode (Full/PoP/PiP), PiP configuration, and video proc-amp
settings. 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 find it. This
software requires the .NET framework and only supports Windows 10 or
later.
To use the software, connect the unit to your PC via the provided USB 3.0
cable and then execute the control application. A configuration window,
similar to the screenshot below, will appear. All changes made to the video
capture signal via this app will take effect immediately.

embedded HDMI audio, analog line input, or the audio mixer.
Note: Only 2 channel LPCM audio can be captured. Bitstream audio is
not supported and will be automatically muted.
HDMI: Select this to capture audio from the currently selected HDMI
audio source. Available options are: HDMI input 1, HDMI input 2, or
“Follow Main Source” which will use the audio from whichever HDMI
source is currently set as primary.

captured audio.
MIC Mode: Click this button to enable or disable the microphone audio
boost on the analog audio input.
Note: This should only be enabled when an unpowered microphone
source is connected. Activating this when a line-level source is
connected could result in heavily distorted audio.
Mute Audio: Click on this button to mute or unmute the audio being
captured.
3) Video Setting: This section provides direct control over a variety of video
settings that are applied when video capture is active.
Note: Changes to these settings have no impact on the HDMI bypass

adjusting the size/position of the PiP window using the adjustment
arrows. Setting a high number allows for faster adjustments, but small
numbers are required when fine tuning.
Size: Click on the arrow buttons to adjust the horizontal and vertical
size of the PiP window.
Position: Click on the arrow buttons to adjust the horizontal and
vertical position of the PiP window.
Transparency: Use the slider to set the preferred transparency level

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 specific 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.
