Who it's for
Anyone who wants to record a camera, console, PC or set-top box in 4K without a capture card and PC, and who does not need to record HDCP-protected sources.
Caveats
- A 4K60 or 1080p120 source is recorded at 1080p60; set the source to 4K30 or 4K24 for a 4K file.
- HDCP-protected sources (most streaming sticks and many cable boxes) are not recorded, and smart TV apps cannot be recorded because the TV is not an HDMI source.
- Firmware before 2.0.0.13 had audio drift with 59.94 fps sources; update the firmware or set the source to 60 or 30 fps.
- No HDR recording or pass-through.
- Standard shipping from the maker is free but quoted at up to 14 business days; a faster option is offered at checkout.
