Review on 🎥 StarTech.com HDMI to USB C Video Capture Device 1080p 60fps - UVC - External USB 3.0 Type-C Capture/Live Streaming - HDMI Audio/Video Recorder Adapter - Compatible with USB-C/USB-A/Thunderbolt 3 (UVCHDCAP) by Josh Lewis

I've used software and hardware capture solutions for decades (I've even had Video Toaster and Dazzle setups!), but for the last few years I've mostly relied on software capture. It was fine when my source was a PC, but otherwise it wasn't perfect. Time for the StarTech.com HDMI to USB-C Video Capture Device I used the StarTech.com HDMI to USB-C Video Capture Device in Windows 10 with VirtualDub. I haven't used any other capture apps as the UVC API layer should be the same for all. I had no trouble staying within what the device was supposed to do. There were no issues with installation/configuration, heat or stability and I'm very happy with the actual performance of the device. I have a couple of comments: I recently used a similar device from Elgato. Elgato has a USB dongle form factor, while StarTech is packaged as a breakout box. I MUCH prefer the sliding box packaging as it's convenient for both PCs and laptops alike and doesn't feel like it's going to fall off the connector or accidentally break anything. It's a little strange that there's 1080p. Recording limit, even if it's 60 fps. I feel like capturing 4k or capturing 1080p at 120 fps should be FLOOR for the possibilities right now. 1080p was good enough for off-camera RTM for my DSLR and probably good enough for most people's needs, but the lack of 120fps capability limits the use of this device with high-speed cameras. The lack of 4k (even at 30fps) limits the ability to use this even with recording hardware that is a few years old. One last thing about HDCP. StarTech captures the "protected" video. The main problem is that many devices that don't play DRM content continue to use HDCP. I got around this with the HDCP removal tool I usually use with older projectors, but it might be another piece of hardware you need. Output from the Raspberry Pi. I can say with confidence that I had no problems with its work. As long as you understand what this device does and doesn't do for you, you should be happy with your results. Conditionally recommended.
