Review: StarTech USB-C Capture Device For HDMI Video

You may have missed our BRWC10 celebrations recently on Twitch.  You can check it out below.  Twitch is massive nowadays, with folk streaming their fave games and artistic endeavours.  How is this done?  I have since learnt you need to plug your device into a capture device.

StarTech’s new USB-C Capture Device for HDMI Video is a very capable tool for capturing HDMI video.

Watch @BRWC 10th Anniversary Stream – Variety Old Skool Film Games #BattleRoyaleWithSquareblind from Wormatron on www.twitch.tv



The USB-C Capture Device is a small and light aluminium box; 92 x 60 x 23mm, 2.8 ounces. On one of its end is an HDMI Out port and an USB-B port.  The other side has HDMI In and Audio In ports.  StarTech have kindly all the USB 3.0 compatible cables you need.

Sadly, StarTech don’t throw in any Mac software for capturing the output.  VLC or QuickTime Player do the job though, so no biggie.  The quality of the streams are decent indeed.  It can capture a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels at 60 frames per second.  Decent indeed.

StarTech’s design is very compact and has a nice study feel to it, and while the price seems a little high, it is VERY good. Stream away!
