Overview

The BG-4KCH is a 4K capture device that enables users to capture a video signal from any HDMI source and transfer it to a computer via USB-C for recording or streaming. With this conveniently sized unit, video signals from devices like gaming consoles, cameras, computers, and media players can be captured in pristine 4K quality.

Connectivity and Quality

This video capture device supports video resolutions up to 4K2K@30Hz. It supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 (RGB/YUY2/NV12) as well as USB 2.0 (YUY2/NV12). The USB 2.0 connection supports a max resolution of 720p@30Hz. HDMI audio is supported in 2CH 16-bit PCM format. This device supports UVC1.0/1.1/1.5 formats and has a maximum data rate of 350Mbps. Compatibility with Windows, MacOS, and Linux makes this unit versatile enough to use with almost any desktop or laptop.

Features In-depth

The BG-4KCH is highly compact and portable for use on the go. The capture box supports video format auto-detection, enabling plug and play operations. Auto-format detection saves time that would otherwise be spent on configuring the video for recording and streaming. This unit also supports deinterlacing and upscaling. The upscaling feature on this device supports resolutions up to 1080p@60Hz. This provides additional flexibility for working with various resolutions and video sizes.
