KKF 4K HDMI Capture Card, 1080P 60FPS Video Capture Card for Streaming and Recording of PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch via DSLR OBS with HD Ultra-Low Latency (USB A 3.0)

I don't write a lot of Amazon reviews, but felt compelled to review this capture box because so many of the negative comments include misinformation. I don't do any live streaming, so I can't comment on that functionality, but if you're looking for an extremely reliable device that can record 1080p video in outstanding quality, look no further. Here are a few important pieces of info if you're looking to capture 1080p video:1) It requires a powerful CPU if you don't have a graphics card capable of utilizing the Nvidia NVENC hardware codec. This device off-loads the capture processing to your video card instead of your cpu (the standard x264 codec is software-driven). The difference on my antiquated AMD FX processor was 80+% CPU usage with x264, under 15% with NVENC.2) Audio is tricky to configure as you need to ensure that the output device, sound card and all accompanying software, and the individual recording device installed in sound mixer ALL match. After 2 days of suffering with crackling, skipping sound, I found a message board post suggesting the issue was due to sample rate mismatch. Sure enough, once I matched ALL of the sample rates to the 48.0 KHZ of the output device, sound quality was excellent. If you aren't familiar with all of the sound settings in control panel, configuration might take some time-consuming poking around.3) Claims that you can't achieve bitrates above 5 MB per second are totally erroneous. The NVENC codec allows you to set by CQP--a variable bitrate setting configured to achieve specific levels of quality. At CQP 20 and the BEST QUALITY setting, bitrates exceed 30 MB per second--in line with commercial blu-ray releases.4) Needless to say, capturing at that level of quality will quickly fill a hard drive. At CQP 20 best quality, a 2-hour chunk of 1080p video will require approximately 12 gigabytes of disc space.5) I capture to an SSD, but it seems likely that a traditional hard drive would be insufficient for keeping up that type of pace. SSD is probably a must.6) You can capture using the Windows 10 CAMERA app, but you can get MUCH better quality and infinitely more configuration options by downloading the free OBS (Open Broadcaster Software). The initial learning curve is substantial, but once you figure out where the critical settings lie, you can get outstanding results. Plenty of help is available online.If you're not an expert PC user, configuration challenges could prevent you from seeing the best of this device. But if you're technically capable and patient, you'll likely be enjoying outstanding performance after a few hours of tinkering.Highly recommended.

This capture card registers as a webcam with audio to the system you plug it into. I use it with OBS and the "preview" feature of that application is just low latency enough to be able to use my PC as a monitor for the capture device. The audio, however, is a bit rougher and generally comes with a delay. I tell Windows I want to "Listen to this device" and the latency isn't too bad, but the listening audio is poor. Ideally, you will want to use the passthrough HDMI and/or a splitter if you want to record without relying on playback features that introduce some level of latency.That being said... It captures 1080p HDMI over USB 3.0. I can't complain. Using this, I can somewhat turn my laptop into a monitor for any downstream device. When I don't have a TV handy, I can plug a game console or my raspberry pi to it. It's been very useful.

Very disappointing product. This capture card produces 5 Mbps bit rate output at best, and degrades the pass-through signal. Not worth your time at all. You would be much better off buying an Elgato! I should have known better than to buy this product for several reasons:1) There is very conspicuously no mention of the bit rate this device is capable of outputting anywhere on the page, in the answered questions, or in the other reviews. If you find any in the future, it will have been added after this review was written. The speeds listed in the specifications and product images are ratings for the different USB standards themselves, NOT the actual capture bit rate. The seller does list the resolution as being 1920x1080 @ 60fps. This is accurate, but again, this does not tell you anything about the bit rate!2) There is no link to the manufacturers website, and the brand name is not displayed prominently/is obfuscated by walls of text.3) Most of the questions asked or the reviews posted seem to be written by people who were not using the device for the intended use case (capturing video). Some were not using the product themselves, and some do not seem to know what they were talking about.As mentioned above, this device degrades the pass-through signal very noticeably. When placing this device between a computer and a monitor, colors look washed up, sharpness is decreased, and everything looks generally duller. When recording with this device I tested many settings, and many different bit rates. The output video quality was VERY poor, and any bit rate setting above 5 Mbps looked the same. The recorded video is very visibly damaged from heavy compression, almost to the point of looking like VHS. For comparison, the lowest tier Elgato capture device has a bit rate of 40 Mbps!DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.
