UGREEN 25854 HDMI Video Capture Card, 1080p, 4K Input, USB-A and USB-C

Overview

Gameplay from a Switch, PS5 or Xbox, or the picture from a camera or laptop, can be recorded or streamed on a computer or tablet with sound. The UGREEN 25854 is a compact HDMI video capture card that accepts 4K HDMI input, downscales it for stable Full HD 1080p capture, and connects to the host over USB-A or USB-C. It is plug and play with no driver.

Is it right for you?

• Suits recording and streaming at Full HD from consoles such as Switch, PS5 and Xbox, cameras and laptops, on Windows, macOS or iPadOS hosts.
• A 4K source is accepted, but it is downscaled: the capture is 1080p. For 4K recording, a 4K capture card suits better.
• Small and light (7.8 x 2.4 x 1 cm, 35 g), so it suits mobile setups and travel.
