Description
Product Overview
The Magewell USB Capture HDMI 4K Plus is a one-channel 4K capture device for bringing high-resolution HDMI cameras, computers, game consoles, and production sources into professional software workflows over USB. It accepts and loops through HDMI signals up to 4096×2160 60fps 4:4:4, while USB capture supports 4K output formats up to 30fps. HDMI loop-through, hardware video processing, microphone input, headphone monitoring, and broad software compatibility make it a versatile solution for streaming, recording, conferencing, and production.
Native 4K30 USB Video Capture
Capture video at resolutions up to 4096×2160 through the USB interface. Explicit 4K output modes support 4096×2160 and 3840×2160 at frame rates up to 30fps for detailed recording, streaming, and production workflows.
4K60 4:4:4 HDMI Loop-Through
HDMI input and loop-through support video up to 4096×2160 60fps 4:4:4. This allows a high-resolution source to remain available to a local display or downstream HDMI equipment while capture takes place over USB.
1440p60 High-Resolution Capture
In addition to 4K capture, the device explicitly supports 2560×1440 at 60fps. It also captures 2560×1080, 1920×1080, and 1280×720 formats at frame rates up to 60fps.
High-Bandwidth Hardware Video Processing
The integrated processing pipeline provides approximately 640M pixels per second of processing bandwidth. Hardware functions include cropping, scaling, deinterlacing, aspect-ratio conversion, color conversion, frame-rate conversion, flipping, and mirroring.
Microphone Input and Headphone Monitoring
A 3.5 mm microphone interface supports analog audio capture, while the headphone output can reproduce audio from the HDMI source or the connected computer. HDMI input also supports multichannel embedded audio.
Broad Software and OS Compatibility
Use the capture device with Windows, Linux, macOS, and Chrome OS. Magewell lists OBS Studio, Zoom Rooms, Microsoft Teams, VLC, XSplit, QuickTime Player, and other compatible video applications.
