USB 2.0 connections will limit capture quality. Please note, Mac systems can be used for recording other platforms, but are not compatible as an input source.

Utilizing built-in drivers in your operating system for direct capture, this capture card eliminates the need to manage additional software or drivers. Designed for low resource usage, the NIX capture card doesn't waste precious memory capacity or CPU and GPU performance to capture your most important footage.

The NIX capture card can capture HDMI output via cameras, including those from Sony, Canon, and Nikon. Please note, macOS and platforms that require High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) such as Blu-ray and DVD players, Roku, and Netflix are not supported as sources. Older cameras requiring HDCP on their HDMI outputs are not supported.

This capture card uses Frame Rate Up-Conversion (FRUC) to take input from the source platform and up-sample the video to 1920 x 1080 at 60 fps. In some cases, streamed text may appear smaller in appearance compared to the pass-through display.
