Using this to record Nintendo Switch gameplay is pretty easy, though the included instruction for enabling audio recording in OBS should be specified (I’ve attached a screenshot of how to do so as part of this review). The recording I get is a steady 1080p60FPS and I have no complain with the quality recorded.
With its mostly plug-&-play nature, no driver installation is needed for Windows 10/11, this is a great for a beginner streaming/recording setup with OBS. Well priced too at 13.4 effective at time of review (16 listed with 10% off voucher).
I use mine with OBS Studio on Windows 11. It works perfectly with no dropped frames. Note that this dongle does not offer an HDMI pass-through function so you will have to rely on the recording software’s preview to see what you’re recording.
A very capable, and tiny, capture card.
In a nutshell:
Things I liked:
+ It worked seamlessly with OBS and had good compatibility with a range of sources.
+ The picture quality was perfectly acceptable for 1080p.
+ Great value at around 16.
Things I didn’t like:
– There are a few compromises – no passthrough and basic functionality being the main two
Do I recommend it?
As a basic capture card, absolutely. It’s a cheap way to get an HDMI source into OBS. if you want anything but basic features, you’re going to have to go for a more expensive unit though.
With no HDMI output this is the kind of device that you would capture with and game direclty with from the preview window in OBS if you are using it for gaming.
Where I find this is a best used device is as a camera capture device instead of using the well know alternative.
Colours as reasonable and sharpness is pretty fiar but a little on the soft side.
Compact and low latency, and the built in flex actually is quite welcome as it is able to sit a little more neatly with the cable bundle coming out of the rear of the PC than devices that stick directly out of the USB port.
Its not quite as good as a more expensive device sure, but at 1/6th the price, it does a pretty good job and doesnt require the bloat of extra software, simply working as a USB capture device in OBS.
Very easy to plug and play into the USB port and good quality capture at this pricing level. Device was easily recognised by my computer for 1080p capture. Represents excellent vlaue for money in my opinion.
I suppose it helps if you know what you are doing I suppose ….
I have never used one of these devices before amd the instructions weren’t very helpful for a beginner. It doesn’t come with any software, which is a double-edged sword, but it means it works out of the box and doesn’t infect your PC with unwanted bloatware, but also you are left to figure out what to do on your own.
So to test that it is working Windows treats this like a webcam, so you have to set it as your PC’s main camera and open up the built in Camera app to see other devices. I tested it with a Switch and another PC and it worked fine. For more advanced testing, I had to download a piece of software called OBS, which recognized the video input device. I was able to get a stream up and running on Twitch using it.
One issue I had, is I wasn’t sure how to get sound from the external device to stream to the parent device. I am not sure if this was a limitation or the video capture device, Windows 11 or the OBS software. That’s as far as my testing took me.
Good price for what it is, just wish the documentation was better.
I tried this out with OBS studio and it worked perfectly without issue. I tried with both the USB-C and USB3 jacks and there was no observable difference between them. Paired up with OBS studio this is an excellent way to get an extremely cheap capture solution. Quite happy with it and would recommend.
So this video capture card is simply a USB dongle with an HDMI connector in the end.
You plug your video source in (noting that DRM content cannot be recorded) and then plug in the other end into your laptop/PC using either the USB-C connector or plug the attached adaptor in for a USB-A connection.
You’ll need specific software to be able to read the video source such as OSB, it won’t just appear as some kind of magic video input – or at least not on my Windows 11 PC. Note that the device appears as VO2 which isn’t particularly helpful. You will also need to ensure the settings match the guide.
This 1080p capture card was extremely easy to get setup and working on a Mac. Simply plug it into an available USB port and it appears as a video and audio source in any application. You just need to know it is simply called “V02”. If you don’t plug anything into it you see a “No Video” card so you know it’s working.
Once you connect a source via HDMI the video shows in your app of choice. You can use it to feed a camera into FaceTime or Zoom or capture video in applications such as Quicktime, OBS or VLC.
It does not feature HDMI passthrough but, at its current price of 14.39, I think it offers good value for money.
