Rated 5 out of 5 byShawnO_7 from This device is a dream to useVery pleased with how small and light this capture device turned out to be. USB powered is an added bonus and reduces cable clutter. Setup was easy though the included streaming software is light on features. I was able to get it working with OBS with relative ease and was immensely impressed with the output quality. I would definately recommend this device to anyone looking for a small, light, capture card capable of high quality output. I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review.

I found this unit easy to setup and use on my Microsoft, Android and Apple devices. I like the SD card slot, which lets you record video directly to a card without having to connect the capture device to your computer. The included software enabled me to stream and record content with my Windows computer and take screenshots, schedule recordings and instantly stream video over the Internet. A bonus feature is that this device is USB powered, which eliminates an additional power adapter.

Rated 5 out of 5 byVideo Tech from NO S-Video!!Tech specs list S-video in and out. There is neither. I was planning to use S-video output to a monitor but that's not possible. Would be nice to have some option other than HDMI. I don't need HDMI quality for monitoring purposes. Tech specs need to be corrected.

Rated 5 out of 5 byJonK from Constantly dropped connection to twitchI was trying to livestream a wedding to Twitch and it was constantly dropping the connection every 20-30 seconds and then it would reconnect. With that kind of flakey connection, it was completely unusable. I ended up using a laptop and a hangouts livestream to youtube which worked perfectly (and proved the internet connection was not the issue). I can't comment on the SD card because I never used that feature. If you are considering this product for live streaming, you may want to look at Teradek.

Rated 5 out of 5 bymacphoto1970_004 from Mixed feelings on this oneThis is an interesting product but I did have some issues with connections dropping. I was using this unit with windows 10 and was using a fairly powerful pc. Installation appeared to be easy and i had no issues. I was using an old dvd/vcr combo unit to bring in some old tapes. The software works easily enough but for some reason it would occasionally just drop out and I would loose connection. I have used an internal card before and have never had this drop out. I am assuming it may have to do with it being Usb based. I am going to attempt direct to sd which i think will be just what may do the trick for me.Overall the quality was ok. I just have this drop out which to me is frustrating.I received this in exchange for an unbiased review
