NARVITECHNS110, External Capture Card. HD60 Pro, Stream and Record in 1080P60 with Ultra-Low Latency on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, in OBS and More, on PC and Mac. Supports PC-Free SD Card Recording.

There are very few capture cards that are (a) under $100 USD, and (b) can capture and record 4K video. This is one of about 2 options - the more expensive option requires USB power, but it does provide a 4K loop out. I specifically wanted one without requiring power, so that makes the Narvitech essentially the only game in town.Lag is minimal - I'd estimate in the order of 50ms at most. It works perfectly on MacOS (M1 MacBook Pro) with no drivers, works with OBS, works as a 2nd video camera for various meeting software (e.g., Webex), and does just what you need. If you really need to add a 4K passthrough, you can get an HDMI splitter for $30 USD - like the Ezcoo 4K HDMI splitter, and split the HDMI signal prior to ingesting it with the Narvitech.The TL;DR; - it works as advertised.

Since Covid-19 began, I had to shift my in person Zumba classes to online. I initially looked for the El Gato Camlink or something similar, but the camlink was sold out at Best Buy and other products were way to expensive (in addition to buying a camcorder etc for makeshift studio). I saw the price, read the excellent review left for this product and I was sold. I was not supposed to receive the product until yesterday, but it arrived a day or two earlier! That was great, because I wanted to be able to live stream classes with the camcorder as soon as possible. That was definitely made possible for my morning class today. The setup was super easy. For reference, I am using an HP Envy w/ Windows 10 (purchased in 2018). It contained an hdmi cord for computer set up, but I had to use the mini hdmi/hdmi cord that came with the Canon Vixia rf800. Once i plugged this in to my laptop, Windows set up the device automatically and I had clear streaming. I realize now that my video issues are with Zoom and not so much of the technology that I have. Anyway, I am optimistic about being able to use this device to live stream and possibly produce vlogs to record directly to my laptop. I highly recommend!

I had very, VERY high hopes for this product. I'm looking to start doing tutorial for how install different operating systems, and also tweaking BIOS for optimal settings. That information obviously has to be displayed somehow and outputted somewhere to record it so that the viewer can see, short of setting up a camera and having terrible quality trying to record a flickering screen. That being said, it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to find capture devices that record straight to SD (hard media) without having to open some kind of capture software, which is equally impossible when you're in BIOS.Therefore, I was extremely excited when I found this and even watched a review by EposVox which stated that it's compatible with Linux. Everything in the product description leads you to believe that all you have to do is hook it up, stick in an SD card (microSD for some reason), press a button, and the UNIT will do the recording. Well, here's where the asterisk comes in.* It WILL record straight to SD (with some finagling), but ONLY when you have an operating-system active. That is to say, the raw output coming from your video card or motherboard HDMI, and INTO the capture device, is NOT enough to trigger the capture device to continue recording (even if it already was). The moment you tell your system to restart, the unit ceases recording (lights turn off), and you CAN'T get it to start recording again until you're booted back into an operating system. In other words, there is no recording capability while in a pre-boot state (like BIOS) even with a physical button to press - and yes, I have passive power enabled on my motherboard so that devices can charge even when the computer is "off," so this shouldn't affect the power output. Pressing the "record" button during startup did not prompt the device to capture anything until the OS was fully booted again, and THEN it would let me start recording again. [Pressing that button during boot also seemed to cause problems with my boot process, and I had to hard-reset in order to get the OS to properly boot again]. All-around, a bad setup that doesn't need to be this way and COULD be so much more useful for the consumer.That's not all though. Part of the reason I had to figure this out the hard way was because the documentation is terrible, and the company has been unresponsive - even prior to the unit arriving. I had written to them to ask about what the maximum SD capacity for the unit could be. Some phones, cameras, etc. limit your SD card capacity to 256 GB, or 512 GB, and often times won't support 1TB or higher. I also needed to know if it liked microSD, microSDHC, microSDXC or microSDUC better, because sometimes that makes a difference too. So I wanted to make sure I was buying the right SD card and would not be wasting my money if that card wasn't suited to this unit for any reason, and this is a matter which can EASILY be addressed in the product description btw. Turns out they weren't interested in helping me figure either of those things out, and as of the date of this writing (10 days later) they still have not responded. I guess that was the first red flag.Side-note: I did get lucky by inserting a 512GB microSDXC UHS-1 A2 V30 4K card that my friend happened to have already bought, and agreed to let me test for this purpose, so for anybody who's wondering, 512 of that particular type is confirmed writeable.Onto the documentation. This device has a single button on the top for recording, and a switch on the side to supposedly alternate between whether that recording goes through PC or straight to SD. Well, the documentation ALSO has nothing to say about recording to SD straight from computer HDMI output. This is strange to me, because that's literally half the functionality of the device. Instead, they give you a link to a "Quick Start Guide" which of course is broken!(the correct link is: https://narvitech.com/home/support-center-1-2/ )Not only that, but you can't even search for this quick start guide on their website because it yields no results. You have to do a Google search (or DuckDuckGo in my case) to find the darn "included" software and documentation link, and even then, this FULL user manual says NOTHING about recording to SD directly from the computer. It tells you how to use capture software (which I bought this unit in order to avoid having to do), and it also gives instructions for how to record from a digital camera for some reason, but NOT a computer (which is how this is advertised).News flash: if I'm already using a digital camera, then I probably ALREADY have a storage medium built-in and would not have to resort to an external capture device. Quite strange.The few clips I did manage to record while I was trying to figure out how to use this thing were acceptable in quality, and recorded to the SD card as promised. If I were INTENDING to use this in conjunction with a running operating or capture software at all times, then I would have kept it, because it would be good value for the money in that case. That is the reason for the 3 stars. But this seems to be a poorly run/managed company who does not prioritize the right use-cases for the products they're selling, and also seems to be lacking in the support realm, so I will be sending it back and I HOPE they will introduce a product in the future that actually fulfills the promise of recording "straight to SD."(P.S. - could you just let us use REGULAR SD media for your next model? They're more standardized, allow for higher storage capacity, and are frankly a lot easier to not lose somewhere in the carpet. Thanks.)

I use this to record video to an SD card. Video looks great. Sound is horrendous. Sounds like a static helicopter. I tried different power supplies, outlets, cables, and no difference.

The media could not be loaded.  This product was advertised as a capture device that could put out 1080p / 120fps this is false this device cannot do that you also only have one hdmi slot init so bare in mind you’ll have to play the game through your software… I would definitely avoid this product and stick to an elgato capture card or something.
