Input and passthrough
HDR capture platform

Built for fast gameplay
HDMI 2.1 passthrough supports VRR and HDR10 on compatible displays. Maximum resolution and frame rate depend on your source, screen and connection. Check the actual computer, software and selected input before the session, then make a short test recording with the intended source.
Record across your setup
Use supported capture software on Windows, Mac or compatible iPad hardware. USB 3.2 Gen 2 at 10Gbps is required for maximum performance. Check the actual computer, software and selected input before the session, then make a short test recording with the intended source.
Choose the Host Connection Before the Source
For maximum performance, use the specified USB 3.2 Gen 2 connection at 10 Gbps. USB-C describes the connector shape, rather than a guarantee of port speed. Match the source, display, cable and software to the selected SDR or HDR recording mode before starting capture.
Keep Capture and Display Routing Distinct
HDMI passthrough sends a compatible source to the gaming display while the computer captures video. The passthrough limit and capture format are separate specifications. Choose a supported combination for the source, display, cable and software instead of treating a high-resolution display signal as proof of the recording format.
Plan the Commentary Audio Separately
A compatible USB microphone provides a direct commentary input to the recording computer. HDMI source audio and microphone commentary remain separate sources to balance in the application. Use suitable monitoring headphones and a short test recording to confirm which signals the audience actually hears.

Build the Scene Around the Actual Inputs
Frame the camera or gameplay source, choose the recording format and check the complete signal path before starting the session. A Stream Deck can add supported software actions, while mounting hardware and microphones serve separate production tasks. None of those accessories replaces the capture device’s required host connection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does recording need a computer?
This is an external USB capture device. Use a supported computer or specifically compatible capture host, with the port speed required for the selected mode.
Which capture and passthrough limits apply?
4K X supports high-rate SDR capture including 2160p144. The listed HDR capture maxima differ, and HDR capture is Windows only. Maximum performance requires 10 Gbps USB and a supported complete setup.
Can it capture protected streaming-service video?
The specified input is unencrypted HDMI. HDCP-protected content is not a supported capture source.
What is listed in the capture package?
4K X, a 1.5 m USB 3.2 C-to-C cable and a 2 m 8K HDMI cable.
Does a microphone connect to an HDMI input?
A microphone needs its own appropriate recording connection. A suitable USB microphone can provide computer commentary alongside video capture; an HDMI input is not an XLR microphone preamp.
What should I check before going live?
Confirm the source format, device selection, recording computer requirements and commentary routing. Make a short test and review both picture and sound before the full production.
