Recording/streaming gameplay on consoles.
Not limited to consoles, you can hook up a computer to a computer and it works fine too.
Also turning DSLRs into HQ webcams… good for bringing in a high quality feed and combining with other sources for streaming or recording in OBS and other video production suites.
I know a lot of people who stream switch games on twitch and this is the most popular capture card they use. It is very highly regarded.
hmm, ok so basically a recording device. Thanks for that.
Yes, nothing I need. I wouldn’t have a clue what it is when I first saw it…
It’s a capture device. It does not transcoding and recording. Your computer does that.
You can use any $25 USB recording/strraming devices from eBay or Amazon. I got a 20$ device that records 1080p/60hz perfectly fine with OBS.
hi mate would you mind linking me that item please?
Which one did you get?
You'll probably find it's really running at 720p60 or 1080p30 and only with MJPEG and not YUY2 as there are a lot of clones out there.

Been recording WiiU and PS3 at 1080p/60hz fine. Can send you sample of the recordings on default settings with OBS if you want.
No worries about sending the recordings. I might check that unit out.
Keep in mind that most PS3 games and almost all Wii U games run at 720p60. So, even though you're setting 1080p60 in OBS, it's really capturing 720p60 and simply upscaling it to 1080p60 via OBS.
I grabbed a similar unit a while ago that claimed 1080p60, but it really only did 1080p30 at the top end. It also claimed to be USB3, but showed as USB2 using USB Tree View.
@HandsomeMonkey: Yep, that's an upscale if that's the case. Not capturing at a native 1080p60.
I've grabbed that unit anyway, and can double check when it arrives.
@Goldfire: Yeah so it's not the capture card that's limiting it. If you want 1080p/60hz native you need to capture Xbox one or PS4 games that output 1080p/60hz.
@HandsomeMonkey: But you were mentioning that it does 1080p60? How can you confirm that if you've only captured from a Wii U and PS3 that (almost) only outputs 720p60?
Therefore, the capture card is the limiting factor here and you're using OBS to do an upscale. They say it'll do 1080p60 in the tech specs, but some people in the reviews are saying it doesn't and can only do at most, 720p60.
Either way, it'll be here on Tuesday for me, I can check it out then in greater detail.
@Goldfire: You really like arguing hey? Wait til you get yours and capture it yourself.
Not all games on the WiiU and PS3 are 1080p but there are a few that are 1080p/30hz. But if you set OBS to capture 1080p/60hz it will be capturing at 1080/60hz. Why am I even bother with replying to you when you keep insisting? I have it and I've done the capture and viewed it in 1080/60hz on my tv.
@HandsomeMonkey: I've had some time to look at that capture card after it being delayed by a day from Amazon. The first red flag is that it is really USB2.0 and not USB3.0. It really only captures at a maximum of 1080p30 or 720p60.
You really like arguing hey?
I wasn't really arguing, to be honest. Your understanding of how this works isn't up to scratch, and that's fine (no sarcasm).
Not all games on the WiiU and PS3 are 1080p but there are a few that are 1080p/30hz.
And there's also some that are 1080p60, I fail to see your point.
But if you set OBS to capture 1080p/60hz it will be capturing at 1080/60hz.
Of course it will be capturing at 1080p60, I've never said otherwise. Because that is what you're setting OBS to capture at, regardless of the input res/fps. If the input is, for example 720p60 from your WiiU/PS3, then it's still not a native 1080p60 signal. Even if your input was 480p15 - the resulting output file will still be 1080p60, but its real frame rate will be 15fps (and resolution being 480p native just upscaled).
Why am I even bother with replying to you when you keep insisting?
Quite simply: What you're stating is incorrect and you're passing it on to others. I was hoping that you would be inclined to learn something. Many people believe that the capture card you linked to is really a 1080p60 capture because of an option to record in OBS at 1080p60. They're also most likely capturing a 720p60 source, such as the the two consoles you've used or even the Switch in most cases.
I have it and I've done the capture and viewed it in 1080/60hz on my tv.
And now that I have it, I can see that it's just another MS2109 chip that can only output 1080p30. Your particular video has a source of 720p60 that has been upscaled from OBS recording at 1080p60 - I do also hope that you don't have some sort of "motionflow" or other interpolation on your TV that is inserting frames to make 24/30fps footage appear as 60fps+.
tl;dr - it's fine to admit when you're wrong, but you were just pulling things out of your behind when you're not correct. The capture card that you linked to is not 1080p60 as noted by your experience and the specs on the Amazon listing.
Just because you're telling OBS to record at 1080p60, does not mean you're actually getting that.
@Goldfire: Mate, have a look at the file details of this video I captured. The video information on VLC clearly says 1080p/60hz. Are you saying the file I captured is not a true 1080p/60hz video? I can upload the video for you to see if you don't believe me.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c0boV7pB1M7dSIBthVml5zYP3qF…
Are you saying the file I captured is not a true 1080p/60hz video?
Yes, because all you've done is recorded footage at 1080p60, regardless of what the source was. It's also a ungodly amount of bitrate used. If you would like to save some storage space, use compression with x264/x265 at a high bitrate. You can use something much more comfortable, such as 20Mbps-40Mbps for very high quality and it would be a fraction of that size.
An example would be, you have a PS4 that outputs 1080p60 signal, you recorded at 4k120 - that does not magically mean your source is upgraded to 4k120 - it's still 1080p60.
I could go right now and record my N64 that natively outputs 240p60 and throw it at OBS with a recording setting of 1080p60 - the resulting recorded file would literally be the same as the one in your screenshot there.
I can upload the video for you to see if you don't believe me.
Upload it if you would like to. You've already told me you have recorded the WiiU or PS3, which again, is mostly outputting 720p60 and you've captured at 1080p60 - I've already explained in detail how this is not native.
You seem to be missing the point here… You claim 1080p60 capture, the device does not do 1080p60 capture… You gotta be trolling at this point.
@Goldfire: And if I say the video was captured from a native 1080p/60hz from a PS5 console. Do you believe me?
@HandsomeMonkey: If I'm honest? If it's from that Oxland capture card, no.
But it ultimately doesn't matter if it was from your PS5, there a number of games that output 1080p60 on the PS4 anyway in the example I used.
I did a simple test in Genshin Impact today on my PS5, because I know it's 60fps and it was already running. I simply spun the camera around at a steady rate, chose 720p60 on OBS, confirmed it's really 60fps. Then I chose 1080p60 on OBS, I saw the drop to 30fps straight away on OBS.
I can check the file (if it's compressed, don't want to download a 4.5GB file for 1min of footage). But I mean, it's very possible for you to pull a fast one and use a different capture card.
@HandsomeMonkey: Not a problem. Maybe re-read what I said until you really do understand the capture card you have there and its limitations.
Have a good one.
@HandsomeMonkey: hes right, you know
1080 30fps is the max from that capture dongle, its the same internals as many of the other capture dongles/cards you see on amazon and ebay at that price. for 1080 60fps, youre looking at spending at least $100aud
720 60fps works fine, which is what youre technically capturing
i should know, i used to sell these as a vendor, they were all based off the same chip and usb2 bus in different housing. i had to do many returns because my suppler had false technical info that i wasnt aware of at the time
@razgriz88: I know what you guys are saying but the details of the file clearly says 1080p/60hz. Which is what I set my PS5 output. So if the videos is not recorded in 1080p/60hz why is the output file showed in as 1080p/60hz? I can trim 15seconds of the video and upload it for you guys to see if you want.
This file is recorded with the PS5 hdmi plugged into the USB recorder using OBS. Recording setting to Lossless quality. And the game is COD:Cold War.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c0boV7pB1M7dSIBthVml5zYP3qF…@HandsomeMonkey: goldfire already gave many examples of why youre seeing 1080 60fps. its simply the obs recording setting that youre choosing
another example would be, set it to 1080 15fps and youll see the output file showing 1080 15fps, regardless of what the input is
trim if youd like to upload, but as mentioned, it would be easy to do a bait and switch
@razgriz88: Why the hell would I do a bait and switch for? I used a 20$ capture card to record videos that you guys keeps saying it can't. I set OBS to captured 1080p/60hz the result was 1080p/60hz. Why would I set 1080p/15hz if I want to capture it in 60hz?
My point is it can capture the 1080p/60hz native videos output that was set on the PS5 which Goldfire said it can't. He said the source capturing from WiiU and PS3 are not 1080p/60hz native. So that's why I used the PS5.
Why would I set 1080p/15hz if I want to capture it in 60hz?
because it was an example, you seem to have missed the point there. try it, youll see the output file properties showing as 1080 15fps, even though your input was 1080 60fps
heres an example i just ran with the intro of 2 fast 2 furious… a 24fps source, 1080 60fps recording uncompressed footage on obs: https://i.imgur.com/fnhrXMf.png
note the resolution and frame rate, matches your mediainfo, even though my source was 24fps
heres the real analysis of the uncompressed "60fps" footage: https://i.imgur.com/E6ENGtJ.png
as you can see, obs doesnt care what you give it, its output will still be what you are setting in the obs record settings (1080 60fps in this case)
Why the hell would I do a bait and switch for?
because this is the internet and its easy to lie, and that capture dongle does not have the specs to record a native 1080 60fps unless you have a magical version that no one else is getting
im waiting for an upload of the uncompressed footage if youd like to continue
Yup. You can always got a $20 stick along with HDMI splitter to achieve the same results, But codec and resolution support is not as good as those more expensive stuff. Really depends on the use case.
That's software related. If you're capturing videos using OBS the file will be mpeg4 with mkv container.
We’re talking about two different things. The output format the device supports makes a significant difference when it comes to compatibility and quality of the capture.
For ps4 pro and Xbox one s it says.
Doesn’t mention ps5 or series x.
I’m assuming it works with them too but not at full resolution?This one can passthrough 4K60 and record at max of 4K30 or 1080p60+HDR. See https://help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360033796252-Elgat…
Will work with almost all HDMI sources. Can’t remember if supports HDCP, but there are workarounds.
What is this used for?
