Product Information

Full details

The Gembird UHG-4K2-01 is a compact and efficient USB-based capture card designed for streamers, gamers, and content creators who need to record or broadcast high-quality video from HDMI sources to a PC. It offers a convenient 4K pass-through feature, allowing users to play and record simultaneously at high resolutions without needing a dedicated internal capture card. While it provides excellent performance for 1080p recording and 4K monitoring, users should be aware that it functions as a UVC device, meaning its software performance is dependent on the application used for recording.

Troubleshooting

No image appearing in capture software

Ensure the HDMI cable is firmly connected and check that your software has the correct source selected under 'Video Capture Device'.

Audio is not syncing with the video

Adjust the audio sync settings within your recording software (e.g., OBS Studio) to add an offset delay if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
