A driver-free external HDMI-to-USB capture dongle that accepts up to a 4K (4096×2160) HDMI 2.0 input and captures up to 4K30, appearing instantly as a webcam on Windows, macOS, Linux and Chrome OS. A built-in HDMI loop-through output lets you monitor the source in real time without a separate splitter. It also carries 3.5mm analog audio in and out for embedding or extracting sound. The host link is USB 3.0 over a USB-C connector, and you wire sources with standard HDMI cables.

Notes & Compatibility
Bus-powered, driver-free (UVC/UAC). HDMI 2.0 input accepts up to 4K (4096×2160), captures up to 4K30. HDMI loop-through output for monitoring. 3.5mm analog audio in and out. Connects via USB 3.0 (USB 3.2 Gen 1) over a USB-C port. The two 3.5mm jacks are separate, per Magewell’s manual: a mic input and a headphone output. Plug a microphone into the mic jack to record voice; the headphone jack monitors the HDMI source or the computer’s playback, since the dongle also shows up as a USB sound card. Loop-through passes up to 4096×2160 4:4:4 at 60fps untouched, so a 4K60 console stays full quality on the TV while the capture itself tops out at 3840x2160p30 or 1920x1080p90. USB 2.0 hosts work, but expect lower frame rates there.
