Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your llano LCC5046B capture card:

2. Connect Display (Optional): Use the second provided HDMI cable to connect your display (e.g., TV, monitor) to the HDMI OUTPUT port on the llano capture card. This allows for passthrough viewing with zero latency.
3. Connect to Computer: Connect the USB-C cable from the capture card's USB-C port to an available USB port on your computer (PC or laptop). The device is multi-system driver-free, meaning it should be recognized automatically as a plug-and-play device.
4. Power On: Ensure all connected devices (source, display, computer) are powered on.

Operating Instructions

Once the hardware is connected, you can begin capturing or streaming:

1. Software Recognition: Open your preferred streaming or recording software (e.g., OBS Studio, Streamlabs OBS, VLC). The llano LCC5046B should appear as a video capture device option.
2. Configure Video Source: Add a new 'Video Capture Device' source in your software and select the llano LCC5046B.
3. Adjust Settings: Configure the resolution, frame rate, and audio input settings within your software. For 4K 60Hz recording, ensure your software settings match these parameters. The device supports adaptive screen recording for 2K/4K resolutions.
4. Audio Setup: The capture card will typically pass through audio from the HDMI source. Ensure your software is configured to capture audio from the device. If using a mixer for live interaction, connect your microphone to the mixer and configure the mixer's output as an audio input in your streaming software.
5. Start Streaming/Recording: Initiate your stream or recording session through your chosen software.

Maintenance

• Keep the device in a clean, dry environment.
• Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures or humidity.
• Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Ensure proper ventilation around the device to aid in heat dissipation. The aluminum alloy shell and built-in thermal silicone grease are designed for efficient cooling.

Troubleshooting

No Signal / Image Flickering / Image Cuts Out:

• Ensure all HDMI and USB-C cables are securely connected.
• Verify that your input source (e.g., game console) is outputting a signal and is powered on.
• Check the resolution and refresh rate settings in your streaming/recording software and on your source device. Ensure they are compatible with the capture card's capabilities (up to 4K 60Hz).
• If experiencing issues with 4K resolution, consider using a higher-quality USB-C cable than the one provided, as some cables may not support the full bandwidth required for 4K.
• Ensure your computer's USB port provides sufficient power. Try a different USB port or a powered USB hub if available.

Device Not Recognized by Computer:

• The llano LCC5046B is driver-free and plug-and-play. If it's not recognized, try connecting it to a different USB port or restarting your computer.
• Ensure your operating system is up to date.
• Try a different USB-C cable to rule out cable issues.

Poor Audio Quality / No Audio:

• Verify that audio is enabled and correctly configured in your streaming/recording software.
• Check the audio output settings on your source device.
• If using an external mixer, ensure it is properly connected and configured as an audio input in your software.
