Video capture cards are vital tools for content creators, streamers, and gamers needing to record or broadcast high-definition video from consoles, cameras, and secondary PCs. These devices bridge the gap between your external video source and streaming software like OBS, XSplit, or Streamlabs.
Our repository covers documentation for a broad spectrum of generic and top-tier capture cards, ranging from simple plug-and-play USB 2.0/3.0 dongles to high-end 4K PCIe HDMI capture devices.

Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
Open OBS, click the '+' icon under the 'Sources' panel, select 'Video Capture Device', and choose your capture card from the dropdown menu. Ensure your capture card drivers are installed if the device is not listed.
Audio issues are common and usually resolved by checking your software's audio properties. In OBS, check the properties of your Video Capture Device and set the Audio Output Mode to 'Capture audio only' or 'Output desktop audio' depending on your system setup. Make sure the console is also configured to output audio to the HDMI port.
Many basic USB capture cards are 'plug-and-play' and rely on standard UVC (USB Video Class) drivers built into your OS. However, premium PCIe capture cards and feature-rich branded cards often require official manufacturer drivers to utilize specific sample rates, resolutions, or software features.
You should not play your game by looking at the OBS preview window, as USB capture inherently adds minor encoding delay. Instead, use a capture card equipped with an HDMI loop-out (passthrough) port, and connect that directly to your television or gaming monitor for zero-latency gameplay.
