⚠️ Important Notice: Resolution Limits, HDCP & Audio Configuration

1. Input vs Capture Resolution (1080P@60Hz Output): This device accepts an HDMI input signal up to 4K @ 30Hz (3840x2160), while the maximum video recording and live streaming output over USB is 1080P @ 60Hz Full HD (1920x1080). It does not output 4K video to your computer.
2. HDCP Must Be Disabled on Consoles: When capturing gameplay from PlayStation 5 (PS5), PlayStation 4 (PS4), or Xbox, you must navigate to your console's system settings and turn OFF HDCP. Video capture software will display a black screen if HDCP encryption is active.
3. No HDMI Pass-Through (Loop-Out): This compact capture dongle features one HDMI input and one USB output. It does not have an additional HDMI passthrough port for zero-latency TV viewing; gameplay preview must be monitored via your computer streaming software.
4. OBS Audio Configuration: In OBS Studio or similar streaming software, configure the audio device capture properties to "Capture audio only" or "Output desktop audio (WaveOut)". If audio is not detected upon first launch, restart OBS Studio with the device connected.
5. Unidirectional Capture Only: Functions strictly from an HDMI source device (camera, game console, TV box) to a host computer USB port. It cannot function as a USB-to-HDMI display adapter to connect an extra monitor.

Frequently Asked Questions FAQ

Q: Why does my streaming software show a black screen when connected to my PS5 or PS4?
A: This occurs because HDCP (content copyright protection) is enabled by default on PlayStation and Xbox consoles. Open your console's Settings > System > HDMI, and disable "Enable HDCP".

Q: Why can I see video in OBS Studio but cannot hear any game or camera audio?
A: In OBS Studio, double-click your Video Capture Device source, scroll to "Audio Output Mode", and select "Capture audio only" or "Output desktop audio (WaveOut)", ensuring "Use custom audio device" is checked and points to the USB capture card. If audio is still missing, restart OBS Studio.
