MiraboxCapture Card for Nintendo Switch,USB3.0 1080P 60FPS Video Audio Capture Card,Support 4K@30Hz Input and Passthrough for PS4 PS5 DSLR Xbox Streaming and Recording by OBS

Bought this for my son and he like this one because easy to set up and use for stream. Works perfect easy to use and my son can now capture her PS5 or switch games on twitch.It’s a USB 3.0 device that lets him capture video and audio from his gaming sessions in stunning 1080p resolution at 60 frames per second. It's so cool!Oh, and the Mirabox Capture Card has a feature called passthrough, which means I can connect it between my gaming console and TV without any lag or delay. That way, he can enjoy playing games on my TV while simultaneously capturing the footage on my computer. It's perfect for streaming live gameplay or creating YouTube videos.He can use a popular streaming and recording software like OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) with this capture card. It's super user-friendly and allows him to customize his streaming settings and add overlays, making streams look professional and engaging. Best of all is plug and play.

I almost was thinking of getting the mainstream Elgato capture card, but i came across this product for the cost decided to try it out. I had no issues with the product in terms of setup. Windows 10 detected it flawlessly after i plugged it in. Using it in OBS also worked out like a champ. Main reason i also bought it is the fact it has MANY output resolutions. So if you're a fan of capturing retro console games all the way up to modern consoles, it works great with OBS in capturing the proper scale, or close to it. No drivers to install - plug n play.Side note - There was a audio desync issue with consoles when i first plugged it in, but that is easily correctable within windows 10 settings.Colors - You probably have to tweak the colors a bit if it seems too saturated in OBS.Latency - There is none! Audio and Video are sync'd and colors are sharp.Recommendation - Make sure you have a USB 3.0 plugged into it, or you may experience performance issues.Cons - Runs a little hot since there is no ventilation, but it has an aluminum casing for good heat dissipation. Make sure it has breathing room around it.For HALF the price of a Elgato, in my opinion this performs alot better with more options.

Okay, so I bought this because it was recommended by a Youtuber who had a similar streaming set-up to me (he streamed Xbox from his Dell laptop, which is exactly what I wanted to do). Since it was a plug and play device, it really appealed to me because I'm technologically challenged and OBS was hard enough to learn on its own, I didn't want to get a capture card that had its own software that I'd have to completely relearn. And since the Mirabox was reasonably priced, I sprang for it.The following is all based off of my experiences streaming from my Xbox:So, when you first get it, know that it comes with only one 3.0 HDMI cable. It doesn't include any HDMI cables, so make sure you have your own (I recommend 4K HDMI cables for streaming).Know that this device only streams in 32bit, which means if you're using OBS, you can only use OBS Studio, not the newer Streamlabs OBS as I had mistakenly thought.Another thing: I thought I'd need an HDMI switcher (or get a monitor with multiple HDMI slots) since I was streaming from my console, but I didn't! Because of the device's pass-through, once you plug in the capture card to your console, computer, and monitor, not only will it appear on your computer to show what you're streaming, it pops up on your monitor too (which is super important to me because I stream Overwatch and playing it on a smaller screen than usual drove me nuts).The capture card itself is a little glitchy, I won't lie. Depending on how old your laptop/desktop is (mine is 5 years old), it might take a restart or two to get the capture card to show up in devices on OBS/for the OBS window to even actually display what you're seeing on your monitor. And this might be due to my current wireless connection to my internet (and the fact that I'm also streaming on my console, not just my computer), but there does seem to be about 15-20 second latency in my actual stream. But because of the capture card's price and simplicity, I feel good about it overall!

This capture device was so darn easy to set up and use! Literally unplug, plug in input, plug output to TV, plug USB in, and you're done. It's that simple. With this, I can capture perfect 1080P footage at 60 frames with an i7. It puts out a little heat, so give the box. (You wouldn't put your laptop on a blanket would you...?) Also be aware that full HD capture is pretty taxing on the CPU so make sure your system is able to cool itself well enough.Just be VERY aware that you get those 60 frames per second in their full glory, uncompressed, and unfettered. This is desirable for me and may be for you, but be aware that your hard drive capacity may be woefully inadequate. Uncompressed, plan to consume at least 1.5 GB of disk capacity per minute. Consider pairing your purchase with a fat hard drive capable of slurping up your 1080P footage, know how to use your recording software to record to that device (I'm using QuickTime and just symlink its work directory), and know where you can get an HEVC compressor once you've recorded and edited your footage. Otherwise, you can easily burn through 10 TB in a day.
