An external capture card that connects to a PC or Mac exclusively over Thunderbolt 3 — it will not work on a plain USB-C or USB 3.x port. That Thunderbolt 3 link gives it the bandwidth to record uncompressed 4K60 HDR10 or 1080p240. Its HDMI 2.0 input and HDMI 2.0 passthrough handle the video, while a 3.5mm line-in mixes in extra audio. You connect your console or camera with a high-speed HDMI cable and link the box to your computer with a Thunderbolt 3 cable.
External Thunderbolt 3 capture card with HDMI 2.0 in/out for 4K60 HDR or 1080p240 capture, plus a 3.5mm line-in.
