Quite good, but I expected more from it.

The contraption costs 15,000. Cheap pleasure. At the same time, the manufacturer does not indicate one of the most important parameters of the device.

Does a great job with streaming. Recording is mediocre.

In general, the device was dissatisfied. It just suits me. As soon as possible, I will switch to another, and henceforth I will treat the Avermedia brand with caution.

I am very glad that I did not immediately buy a set with a microphone and a camera.

Pros

Easy to connect - in fact, the device does not require any configuration and is immediately detected by the required software.

Cons

Absolutely nowhere, that is, ANYWHERE AT ALL, is it said that the device does not transmit HDR and / or UHD colors. Before buying this capture card, I looked at a bunch of reviews and reviews and no one pointed out this, I would say, defining flaw. On the manufacturer's website, this is also NOT SAID ANYWHERE. Everywhere and everyone emphasizes that with a capture card, you can continue to watch / play with a picture in 4K. Not a word about HDR. What 4K TV doesn't support HDR these days? When I connected the card to the console and my TV, I was terribly upset that I would have to play and record without an extended color range. The whole point of 4K gaming without HDR, I think, is lost, because thanks to the soft color transitions and midtones, many of the shortcomings of the picture from the console are hidden - including useless anti-aliasing. In addition, through OBS, this card writes a torn picture. There is a loss of frames and friezes. Through my software, everything is fine.
