Im trying to get into some content creation and your videos have been an amazing help. Think ill start with this lite CC, then if i stay commited to streaming amd YT videos, upgrade to something better. So cool that people like yiu are out there making a living off of helping others. Ggs

I’ve just started my quest in streaming and this is actually what I was looking for. Solid !

Got mine for $40 this black friday, can't wait to try it out.

Thank you for this! I've been looking for a cheaper card that gets the job done in two parts. First so I could stream some older games like Sega Saturn, and I super appreciate the mention of the retrotink 2x which I have one of, and I needed a card that I knew was high quality, if not overkill, for transferring our old VHS tapes to digital.

Wow! Yeah, this video looks so clean! Awesome channel. I've been following on Twitter for a couple years but never desired streaming until recently. Happy to have a sweet backlog of videos for research now. (BTW, your Twitter critique of the Apple event was hilarious. I'm sorry that your disappointment was so dang funny.)

In the same situation, I just opened mine.

great review, that ossc compatibility is mindblowing. how fast is it at 240p/480i resolution switching in PS1 games?

$79.99 rn. After tax and all $83-$98, hell no.

Seems really interesting. I may pick this up.

One thing I'd like to see covered are "PC free" capture cards which record to something like microSD cards. These seem like a neat choice if you don't want to capture by a PC, but just record some video to edit later. The only one I've personally found that seems up to the task if the AVerMedia Live Gamer Portable 2 Plus - but you have to be willing to pay a premium, nearly double what this costs, at which point it seems like we're creeping into actual 4K capture territory.

Upon recommendations of my video hosting service i.e. StreamingVideoProvider, I started using Y&H Capture Card . Though it is a budget card but gives exceptional results.

Nice review and channel. I ended up buying one of these and have been testing out for full day capture. At points I've gotten moments where the signal in OBS preview goes to black and then reloads a couple seconds later with true signal - rinse and repeat 15-60 seconds later. I'm not sure if this is due to the laptop running OBS having it's busses fully loaded (work laptop, triple monitor, webcam, headset, dock, yadda) at some point something pushes it over the edge or if the XR1 is getting a bit overheated after running all day. Once it starts doing this black flashes and back to preview - it seems to just continue and both times I've had it happen - it's been after the capture device has been connected to OBS with an active signal for over 8 hours. At points it gets pretty toasty so I've taken to putting the device on it's narrow side so the top/bottom, which have more surface area are more in contact with the air

You can also duplicate your display to the device and not use the pass-through. This allows for example 120Hz refresh to monitor while running card at 60Hz. Max capture rate that worked for me was 59.94.

This only works sometimes since it’s rigging it in a way that’s not designed - which can randomly tell you it can’t do it upon reboot etc. and doing it this way results in double tearing and/or frame pacing issues, which doesn’t look good

Nice video...But what mic are you using? Probably the BEST sounding youtube channel I HAVE EVER HEARD!!!

Hey Epos one question so know it's good but is there any audio like I have to connect a audio cable or would I have to just record audio through OBS?

Trading in my Elgatos and Avermedias for this love the price and what it can do

I may get this just to help me get used to streaming! Thank you!

As someone whos right now looking for a xbox 360 capture for OBS and being able to capture audio would you reccomend this one or suggest something else? Thanks!

Ironically, when I got this bundled with Splatoon 3 on amazon for, like, $70 or so, I ended up using it for the same purpose Genki adertised. The audio device is passed through separately from the video, so i can just play the sound through windows and use mpv to stream the video with little if any noticeable latency. Solid little card!

Depends on what you’re playing at. Series S/X can do 4k120 and 1080p120 (and 1440p) that this card cannot. If you’re playing at 1080p120 or 1440p at all, I’d recommend the Live Gamer Ultra or ASUS CU4K30

@@EposVox hey thanks so much for the reply man! I was honestly thinking of the Asus or the AV Bolt but I thought I had heard u said they’re not compatible with the M1 Mac mini’s 🤔 if those (the 2 recommendations u just made) are good with the Mac Mini then I’ll look at those! I’m jus looking to start a streaming channel to play Madden etc but needed something that works wit the new gen and M1s. Wish Elgato had a capture card that was compatible with console/M1 but not sure if any of them are 🤔 (sorry I’m a noob here man, but been watching your channel for over a yr!) great content always.

Obscure question, if you're trying to capture audio/video out of a Mac, will the Mac see this as a valid audio output device? Elgato capture cards do. I have a cheaper card that works fine w/my nintendo switch, but not the macintosh. If so, this is exactly what I'm looking for! thx

How's the capture card in terms of FPS and audio? Is there no FPS stuttering if used for too long or poor audio output?

Great review. When you mention getting 4:2:0/4:2:2, is that just for the recording? Like, would a 4:4:4 signal pass through fine?

Does it accept 5.1 LPCM audio? (like some of the AVermedia boxes) Or only stereo?

I’m new here. Are there any issues with capturing chat audio with this card? I know there was with Elgato. Thanks!

I need the windscreen that you have on your SM7B. Where can I get one and what other colors do they have? :o

Oddly enough I was able to get 1080p 120hz using a series x by running the hdmi cable included with the xbox to the input of the xr1 lite, then using a BENFEI HDMI to DisplayPort powered adapter from the passthrough on the capture card to my monitor via displayport. The Benefei adapter is only hdmi 2.0 so plugging it into the console directly doesn't expose the console to 120hz, but this workaround does. My monitor reports 120hz and the testing I've done has supported that. Kind of weird seeing as the card doesn't natively support 120hz but apparently I've found a niche workaround.

5:37 how does one do that? I don't think I have seen that video and frankly I don't know how EDID exactly works.

So looking for a value capture card for pc - what you suggest now then ?? Many thanks

Bought this card on october last year after seeing this video... gotta say, worth it! but it does dip from 60fps to 30fps sometimes randomly when capturing from my ps5... maybe something is wrong in my OBS settings?

Can you play it while it is capturing on that monitor or has to much delay?

Your RE20 sounds much better than your SM7B in these videos. Good tone, nice even and rich sound.

I just watched until 5:00 and this sounds like you have DSR active. None of my three monitors shows up at a higher resolution than native. Checker your NVcontrol panel or the Greenforce Experience if DSR is active. I will continue watching now ;)

@EposVox

2 жыл бұрын

DSR isn't active. That shows up differently.

I just got this item, and I have a few questions. 1. When I plug the HDMI input into my iPad or my Macbook, it showed HDCP and is thus unable to capture anything, but it doesn't happen on my PC. I am not even running any app on my MacBook or iPad. Does all Apple device has HDCP on by default or it's the capture card overreacting? 2. When I connect it to my PC and passthrough it to my monitor, it can only output 1080p even when my monitor is 1440p, and there is no option in the display settings to change the output to 2k. Is that desired behavior? Other than the issue I mentioned above, the device works great.

Just ordered one of these from scan in the U.K. for £40 😊

jsut got this card for 48 bucks on amazon ON SALE so hopefully this card works with my switch OLED

So say i hook it up to my switch, will it automatically capture both the video and the Audio? Also currently it is $87.59 on Amazon

How does it handle audio from the hdmi input?

Hi, How do you recommend to stream if someone has a 1440p 240hz monitor and he wants to stream with a dual PC setup?

What audio input does the XR1 Lite accept? Mono, Stereo or 5.1? EDIT: I read somewhere here it capture in stereo. Thanks

Also, as far as I know, the washed out picture you brought up might actually be because this card doesn't handle full range RGB correctly. From my experience setting it to full range RGB in OBS and the console leads to raised blacks and washed out colors, while limited range on both OBS and the console lead to more correct colors and black levels with no crush. My monitor is a bit wonky with switching from full to limited range (on my PS5 both modes display correctly while on my Xbox 360 limited range appears super washed out) so this is a problem.

so I just came here because I just got my ps4 back up and running an am in the market for a cap card that will do what it claims and is very cost effective, my pc is my primary gaming/streaming rig. so ps4 is more for nostalgia, therefore, it doesn't need to be over the top and flashy. I just need it to do what its meant too that's all. thank you for the insight

Hi there , is this card good to capture and stream eft in full hd 60fps

It is kind of a letdown. Just got this for my laptop (PopOS), and realize there is no way to make it negotiate under USB3.0 mode (xhci_hcd driver), so the recording is limited to 720p in OBS. Other devices can run at USB3.0 normally, but only this capture card does not. That said, it works as expected with my other laptop though.

I'm still having the misalignment issue, have you heard of any fix yet? I've done quite a bit of troubleshooting and updated whatever firmware they have for it so far, no luck.

so with the Latency would it be a bad idea to play the game through the OBS preview window? how noticeable is it?

I want a a low profile internal version of this

He'll yeah finally something I can trade my can't link for!

Hello, and sorry. I'm a new sub and enjoying your content. I'm slowly making my way through your videos, but I'm completely new to all of this. I'm not a complete idiot, but I am fairly illeterate when it comes to most of this stuff, though I'm trying to learn. I'm looking to get into KZread ing, but just trying to get together the gear I'm anticipating that I'm going to need, ha, and then trying to learn how to use it. I'm not a gamer, or don't anticipate being a full time streamer, but would like the ability to live stream occasionally. Pretty simple set up of running a Canon M50 mark Ii into my Asus Zephyrus ROG M16 at 1080. I'm not sure if you already have a video covering this scenario, that I haven't gotten to yet, but I'm wondering what you would suggest to someone in my situation. I'm not opposed to spending some money if it provides portability, ease of use, and consistent reliability, but obviously simple and cheaper is preferred.

They bumped the price up $10 since yesterday. I bought one yesterday, before the price hike. Curious to see if the hardware is improved. I tried 3 different XR1 and none of them worked. 2 would completely freeze up after just a minute or two of catpure. The third one would repeat a few frames, every second. And would consistently overheat and freeze up after about 20 minutes. Tried high quality cables. Rear USB ports. Powered USB 3.0 hub, etc. Two different computers with the third card. One Zen 2 based. One is Intel 8th Gen.
