As a video professional I have shelled out thousands for capture equipment and when the first wave of these cheap dongles came about on Amazon, I lost a few hundred bucks to unreliable overheating hardware. As technology continues to push forward, I saw this Y&H USB capture card and because the price was so unbelievably low I had to give it a try. Much to my surprise, this thing works amazingly well! It captures video and audio with no drivers required (it presents a webcam called ‘USB Capture’). It has a proper EDID so it can be recognized as a monitor output for a computer. Most importantly, it runs at a very low temperature and appears to be consistent, suitable for 24/7 usage. This was a big issue with some earlier cheap capture cards and I can’t understand how they’ve done this so well for so cheap (I paid less than $20 for this). The limitations of the device are – 1, it’s limited to 1080p/30 so while it can accept higher inputs you will get 30 FPS on your recording/stream. They seem to have a model available that does 60 FPS for not much more money, but I haven’t tried it. 2, the image quality is very good but does show some signs of compression, light artifacts and changes in colour saturation (seems to want to default to Rec601 although it can be set to Rec709). Most people may not even notice these differences, but coming from professional capture gear like Epiphan or Blackmagic you will see a slight difference. 3, this is a nitpick but it would be nice to have a port on the dongle instead of the connector itself, as it uses USB-A and the device while impossibly small can still block an adjacent connector on a tight rig. Despite these limitations the price and utility of this dongle makes it a no-brainer addition to anybody’s kit, either as a starter solution or as an easy backup device in case your main capture pipeline goes down. A must-buy. Bravo!

I got this for streaming my switch to twitch. It worked beautifully and the latency I didn’t notice any and the audio was perfect. I will try to remember to update if anything happens to it but I think it will last me a long time

Happy to buy this product. However, the picture quality is pretty okay but acceptable. One can tweak a little bit the picture quality in the OBS program. I suggest reducing contrast and open shadow and black a bit. Under the picture profile setting on your camera use portrait. The standard profile will be very contrasty. My concern is the lagging of video and audio. It also needs some tweaking as well. If you have a laptop with two USB A ports next to each other then the size of this device won’t let you insert another USB A device. It’s due to its bigger size. But certainly, it is a good value for money. I use it for my zoom meetings. Recommended for people who want to experiment with zoom call experience.

I had been using Camlink Elgato for my workplace for our online workshops and webinars and after it went mysteriously-missing (!), I needed to quickly buy a lower priced product. Tried this out with my Sony NX200 camcorder as the external camera with my Dell i5 laptop and it works very well. I’m happy with it.

I compared this to the camlink. Well, this is less finicky than the Camlink, and it works with Linux no problem. USB 2.0 is a huge, as it means it should work via USB hubs and cheap cables. The camlink does not.
Anyways, the video quality is slightly lower than the Camlink — MJPEG vs RAW video frames I think. There is also slightly more lag — like 1 frame of added latency. Still, for the price? can’t go wrong.
And it worked. Like, omg. I’ll see if I can get this working on something like my raspberry pi; if so, hurraz!

Wasn’t expecting Elgato 4k quality, but it did exceed my expectations for the price. Works with anything that outputs hdmi video. Used it with my PS4, Nintendo Switch, and gaming PC output to my laptop. There will be a noticeable delay for action-oriented games, but for strategy or rpgs this device is excellent. Also if this isn’t showing up in your OBS video device capture, check your windows 10 privacy settings for your camera and set to allow.

one frame per second capture. Since the device does not use software drivers, I do not think it is my computer that is slow. This device is inadequate for video capture and should be used for still image capture from a camera. A device with a higher frame rate would be better. It works as described because the description did not include the fps. But you could never use this for video game, TV or camera source video. Too slow
Update: it works ok. I was using incorrect setting on the camera side. The fps is higher than I suggested above.
