Genki ShadowCast 2 (2023)

This ultra-compact capture card is small enough to vanish in a pocket, plugging its HDMI connector directly into a console or handheld and linking to your computer or iPad over a USB-C 3.2 cable rated at 5 Gbps. It accepts a 4K60 HDMI input and captures it at up to 1080p60 with low latency. There is no HDMI passthrough output, so it is a single-input device best paired with handhelds and second-screen setups. Plug-and-play means it needs no drivers in OBS or similar apps.

Genki’s tiny capture card with a 4K60 HDMI input and a USB-C 3.2 link for 1080p60 capture; no passthrough.
