Are you looking for the easiest HDMI to USB converter? https://news.broadfield.com/easiest-hdmi-usb-converter/ Tue, 06 Jun 2017 14:07:44 +0000 http://www.broadfield.com:8080/news/index.php/2017/06/06/easiest-hdmi-usb-converter/ Okay, so maybe it’s not a droid.

Are you looking for the easiest HDMI to USB converter?

I have the droid you’re looking for!

Okay, so maybe it’s not a droid. But I have the tech you’re looking for. Many people don’t even realize it’s possible to convert HDMI to USB, but it is. And while it’s not quite as simple as plugging your HDMI™ camera into your laptop (that won’t work!), it’s easier than you think.

 

There are a variety of reasons why people are looking for HDMI recorders or ways to bring their HDMI source into a computer. Some people simply want to use their PC or laptop as a large screen for their camera, or as a “TV screen” for a device that doesn’t have a display. Others want to record or stream the content from their HDMI source. All these options are possible with Epiphan’s USB-based HDMI capture cards. Get exactly what you need with our driverless Epiphan AV.io HD and Epiphan AV.io 4K USB video capture cards. Or for customers who need 100% lossless, perfect capture with full control over color space (usually for medical and industrial applications) we have DVI2USB 3.0.

Get started right away with AV.io 4K and AV.io HD

If you’re like most people and want to get going as fast as possible, our AV.io family is exactly what you need. AV.io 4K converts 4K UHD signals from HDMI to USB at 30 fps. And both AV.io HD and AV.io 4K capture 1080p video at 60 fps, with only 1-2 frames delay in transferring the data over your USB bus. In addition to video capture, these cards also capture embedded HDMI audio. So whether you’re capturing a game console like PS4 Pro or Xbox One S, capturing a laptop, a 4K camera, video camera, embedded device, or a DSLR, you’ll have top quality, low delay audio and video capture. Our AV.io family video capture cards are simple to use. Connect your source to your AV.io HD or AV.io 4K, then connect the USB cable to a USB port on your computer. Use built-in tools like Windows Camera, or any video capture tool of your choice (including VLC, OBS, or QuickTime) to view, record, and stream your video. Use it with Windows, Linux, or Mac OS.

Our HDMI to USB solutions just work

There are a few things we consistently hear from happy AV.io HD and AV.io 4K users who’ve used competing products in the past:

  • The product just works
  • The aluminum casing is satisfyingly weighty
  • They find the products are designed well for repeated and extended use
  • Their computers aren’t working as hard as they do with competing products
  • Capture quality is fantastic and has very little delay

Don’t just take my word for it, watch as reviewers gush about AV.io 4K!

Let’s look at some of these points in more detail to understand how our HDMI to USB converters work and how they differ from some others in the same field.

Raw video capture means less work

Why do our customers find that their computers aren’t working as hard when capturing HDMI with an Epiphan capture card? This has to do with raw video capture. Other video capture solutions compress your video into a container like H.264 or Motion JPG so it’s small enough to fit across a USB 2.0 bus (a medium with a maximum data transfer rate of 60 MB/s). When it arrives on your computer, the CPU and/or GPU need to work to decompress this image, then re-encode it with your encoding settings. And with this type of pre-compressed video, it’s never possible to get back the full detail that was lost in compression. By contrast, our AV.io family of HDMI capture cards send raw pixel data across to your computer over USB 3.0 (max transfer of 640 MB/s). When your software receives this stream, it doesn’t need to decode it, so there’s less heavy lifting.

Raw video capture means better quality

Furthermore, when the data signal isn’t compressed, you get better video quality. With video signal that is uncompressed and visually lossless, you’re in charge of what to do with it next. If you want, you can use defaults from your encoding software, or if you prefer, you can tweak it to optimize your video. The key point is – you have options. You can record it, preserving all that detail for post-production editing, or upload. Or you can encode for streaming at a bitrate that matches your network capacity. The beauty of raw data capture is that the choice of quality isn’t taken away from you.

So get out there and start capturing from HDMI to USB!

Now that you see how easy it is to capture HDMI over USB, the possibilities are endless. All you need to get started is AV.io HD or AV.io 4K. Author: Brigitte Gagné from Epiphan.com/blog

AV.io 4K captures resolutions up to 4096×2160, with 4K UHD video streaming at 30 fps and 1080p at 60 fps. Choose to use your video at its original resolution or let AV.io scale it for you to exactly what you need.

4K streaming anywhere, anytime
This hand-size grabber fits in any kit, or even your pocket, in a pinch. It is a USB video grabber, so its HDMI capture works perfectly up to 4K on any computer with USB 3.0.

Crystal clear audio
AV.io 4K captures PCM audio over HDMI™ at up to 24-bit 96 kHz. The two-channel stereo audio output has automatic resampling at 48 kHz and encodes in 16-bit.

Application support
Works seamlessly with your favorite paid or free applications such as Wirecast, Skype, Adobe FMLE, QuickTime, VLC media player and Windows Camera. Save captured content and upload to video platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo and others with ease.

Tough as nails
AV.io 4K capture card is perfect for reliable and repeated long-term use. It uses the same metal exterior as all other Epiphan video grabbers, which means that you could drop it down a flight of stairs and step on it, and it would still work. The same enclosure has even been used in space!

Barnacules

Jerry Berg, known online as Barnacules Nerdgasam, has more than 800,000 subscribers on YouTube. With this much enthusiasm, that’s not surprising! He first looked at both of his AV.io 4K capture cards back in November 2016, and his excitement was palpable.

He recently followed up with a great full review of the capture card, calling it “the easiest capture cards I have ever used, and by far the most capable.”

As always, we love to see enthusiasm like that!

PhotoJoseph

Joseph Linaschkeis a YouTube tech reviewer focusing on cameras and video technology. His most recent look at AV.io HD shows him integrating it into his live video setup, demonstrating how easy it is to use with OBS and any camera he chooses!

“It just works 100% of the time!”

Joseph Linaschke, Review on PhotoJoseph

Level1Techs

In looking for a USB 3.0 Linux capture solution, Level1Techsfound that AV.io 4K was the best fit. They’ve integrated it into their setup and feel great about the near-zero latency, the ease of use, and the power of the card.

“It’s really impressive, and it has done everything we’ve thrown at it.” Level1Techs

Glad to be a part of your Linux capture solution!

EEVblog

Dave Jones of the Electronics Engineering Video Blog(EEVblog) first showed an unboxing of AV.io 4K a few months ago.

Taking it apart to show the great hardware inside emphasizes the point about how solid AV.io 4K really is and how he’s looking forward to capturing some of the more unusual sources he has, such as his 4K Tegano microscope. As a knowledgeable engineer, Dave clearly gets a lot of enjoyment out of looking at the well-designed interior! More recently, he took AV.io 4K for a 4K test drive at both 30 fps…

and 60 fps!

The video looks great at both settings, and AV.io 4K passed the test with perfect grades!

Waheed Tech

The popularity of AV.io 4K extends all over the world! We’ve even had a review from Saudi Arabia by Waheed Omar of Waheed Tech, a tech reviewer with almost 65,000 subscribers.

He uses the capture card for 4K video game capture, and it looks fantastic!

Rob Cram

One of the newest firmware updates for AV.io 4K allowed it to capture from two of the most recent gaming consoles, PS4 Pro & Xbox One S. Rob Cramshows what a great job it does of that:

The Mad Review

“The game capture is phenomenal!” TheMadReviewlooked at AV.io 4K specifically for capturing gameplay from PCs and loved how great the end result looked. Using the setup guide on our site, they were able to get the stream and capture setup working simultaneously with the gameplay.

The result was, according to them “the best game capture that I have ever captured from any device on the market!”

LinusTechTips

Run by Linus Sebastian, LinusTechTipsis a huge operation reviewing hundreds of different technologies. They have over 3.7 million subscribers, almost a billion views, and their WAN Show podcast does a great job of covering new trends in technology. They didn’t just review the AV.io family, they have fully integrated AV.io HD and AV.io SDI into their own live setup!

They talk about how both capture cards improve their setup immensely, and it’s great to hear how easy it was to get the whole setup working with the capture card. They’ve also talked about the AV.io capture card family on the WAN show a few times while using it to stream the show itself! Great to see the cards in action!
