Stream Gameplay on Your Console With a Mirabox! 

Hey guys! I just want to give you all an update since I've been getting a lot of comments regarding trouble with the Mirabox. First is that this does not capture in 1080p60, it only does up to 1080p30 or 720p60. I'm embarrassed that I missed this in my initial review and just took the product info at face value, but I confirmed it while going over some old footage I recorded and it definitely isn't 60fps. So lame! But straight up my bad. Second is that some people have reported issues while capturing game and chat audio with the Mirabox. If you run into this issue, try setting your system audio to output to both headset and speakers, and double check your OBS configuration. Even still, some people have had trouble with this, so it's definitely worth noting. I'm so sorry that I missed this! I'm taking notes of what things I absolutely NEED to investigate next time and I promise I'll do better! And speaking of next time, let me know if there are any video capture cards you want me to take a look at - I'm planning on snagging a few different models and doing a video on my experiences with them and comparing them to the Mirabox. I'm leaving this video up as a reminder that I'm a dummy and need to do better. Plus if you just need to capture 1080p30 video it's still a decent device for the price :)

great review. thx a lot for showing even how to install the device and the software it self. ill definitely give a try

Thank you best explanation I’ve seen

Cool video, this helped me a bunch. I got mine last week, the one thing I have noticed. This thing gets hot.

well definitely cool tool, you can get better stream quality for 40% and is easy to set up, also provides lots of options

Buy it guys. It’s really really good. Especially if you are budget streaming.

Thank you very much.

Would have liked a bit more detail but its a good overview i.e. is output stereo?. Is the cable provided good enough?. What would you say is the minimum ram and graphic card for this?. Does low hd space have an effect on capture even if recording to a slave harddrive?. All sorts of stuff like that. Ive had issues.... i have an old i7 processor from 2012 with 16 gig of ram and win 10 but only 20gig of spare space on my c drive but 1tb on my slave. Im using a usb 3 port. I get stutter with switch gameplay at 30 and 60fps at 1080p and worse if my webcam is connected. Im running obs in admin mode and using nvidia encoder within obs. Its a 2060 graphic card. So my guess is more cache space possibly more ram and defo run at 30fps but like i said minimal info really around for a new streamer :-( great vid

Hey I have this capture card and have it set up in obs with my xbox however my monitor becomes extremely dark while using it but my obs looks good, in your issues segment in this video i believe you talked about it but im not sure so what should I do, please respond

I have a problem. when headphones are plugged into my controller on obs the game audio on the mixer doesn't work. How can I solve this problem?

I could use some help. I read that I can use this to capture Playstation 2 stuff and I plugged everything in using an AV to HDMI converter but for some reason, while there are lights on for the USB port and the HDMI cable running to my PS2 I can't seem to get a light for the TV itself. Nothing is wrong with the HDMI cable itself, I just get no signal. Any ideas?

Hey man would you recommend this one out of all the other ones ? Like the budget ones which ain’t the expensive Elgatos I just not sure what cheap one to get even £60 isn’t bad I just can’t pick one , I hope game chat works don’t know anything about thsi stuff man :)

If i wanna use my laptop as a monitor for switch/xbox, is there any latency? I mean i woudnt use any monitor, only switch, laptop and, obviously, capture card.

Great video! Just wondering does it actually give 60fps at 1080p? All I know is that the other cheap ones say its 60fps 1080p but it doesnt actually run that! Thx.

Really considering this product, is it compatible with the Elgato chat Link cable?

I just bought it but i cant hear my friends in the party chat how do i fix this

i just bought this capture card, but i am unable to capture audio for both myself and the stream. if i plug in a headset to the controller i lose capture audio to the stream if i unplug a headset from my controller i lose audio for myself but gain capture audio for my stream. how can i keep both audio for myself and the stream?

whats about sound settings? cant hear my Switch

Hi I currently have 1 monitor and a pc. I’m guessing I’ll need 2 monitors? Please can you confirm. Thanks for the video

I really like this video. Definitely a lot of information but I’m having an issue and I was wondering if you could help me with. I’m using a PlayStation five and I’m winning that to my Mac through the copter. Card you talk about in this video. The problem is whenever I turn my headphones on, I no longer have audio by that I mean game audio through OBS. I was wondering if you could tell me what it is that I’m doing wrong.

hey im having trouble setting it up and its not working for me i set it up just like you and it jwont work

Having an issue with getting game or party chat to work with this MiraBox.. Any ideas on that? Using a wireless headset that’s receiver is plugged into my Xbox.

Any idea how to capture party chat yet?

So When I plug in the capture card, it makes a sound, then have it plugged into my ps4, but when I got into OBS to add a new source, the card doesn't show up, any advice?

so i have that exact capture card would i be able to hook it up to my Computer instead of a laptop if so could i just get like a 12ft hdmi cord to connect to my tv?

i have a question, my current capture card cost $10 and the quality is so bad, sometime the video just becomes pixelated. does the video quality vary with the capture card? or are they all the same? just saw this Mirabox capture card and i trust vour review. hope my question gets answered

Hi I have this for my xbox and am unable to get any sound to work or voice chat to work can I get some help please

Hi - I picked up this capture card after looking at this video, and for some reason, the resulting recorded video appears to be 30fps, not 60. I'm using VLC and hitting E a few times to examine it. There's only a change with every other frame. That is to say each frame is duplicated once resulting in 30fps. I've set what I believe to be any relevant settings that might fix it, and I'm pretty sure I got the same capture card. Any other suggestions?

Hey! I get a green tint on my tv when I use this mirabox capture card! I have tried different HDMI cables but the problem persists!

if i play on a 720p tv , will it record the 1080p game or the 720p tv display ?

When I have it set and ready, after a short period of time the gameplay will freeze and then I would have to start over. Is there a fix?

If you plug the USB cable into a USB 2.0 port does it still work?? That's make or break for me

I have a Lenovo idea pad 320 would that run this capture card ok?

does it support 1080p 120fps passthrough? i have an xbox series s so i dont use 4k but i do use 120fps quite often in games

what about audio? I cant get audio out of my monitor now into obs.

Can i use this to watch my switch in my laptop in full screen like its a tv?

Yeah but how do you capture the game audio 😂

I bought this capture card and for some reason it lags so much it looks like its streaming at 10 fps or something

My Mira box isn't showing up in obs studio? Do you know why that is? Everything is connected.

Is it possible to change the captured video to 24 fps, or is just 60?

I have found that I don't need my pc to be on, just have the power strip powered and my PS4 will be fine to use. If the strip isn't powered then my PS4 won't show up on the source.

Are you still able to PLAY the game at 4k120?

I would probably go with at least an EVGA XR1 lite which is currently the cheapest capture device at $42-50 on Amazon ($100 list price) that does 1080p 60fps. I don't have that device, but I do have the XR1 is the same as the *lite* except the XR1/XR1 Pro has the 3.5mm jacks for passthrough (and XR1 Pro can do 4K capture although at 30 fps like the Elgato Cam Link 4K). I don't know if you are aware, but these devices tend to have some false advertising. The device claims 4K which might trick buyers that it can record in 4K (which would otherwise require an Elgato 4K60 Pro, 4K60 S+ or Cam Link 4K, or the EVGA XR1 Pro) as well as 1080p 60fps when it actually records 1080p 30fps or 720p 60fps. Also, the devices actually use USB 2.0 even though they claim USB 3.0. ThriftyAV actually done a video with the Mirabox and discovered that it's actually USB 2.0. Also, a review of the Rybozen claims it uses MJPEG rather than YUY2, YV12, and XRGB.

How can i get stream to hear gamechat with this capture card

does this work with ps5 I plugged everything in and the led wont light up

Does it come with the cords?

I have no audio tho

Unfortunately, it will not show up in OBS for me

Does chat link work with this?

It doesn’t work better of with streaming straight from ps5

Will it pick up the audio from my wireless headset and pic up my party chat on call of duty? I ordered it without research 😂😂

Help i dont know what im doing i cant even hear the game

Does it work with n64?

Hi, does it work on Mac M1?

Theres any input lag on ps5? 🤔

How do I get OBS open

Can I use this on lightstream

So When I plug in the capture card, it makes a sound, then have it plugged into my ps4, but when I got into OBS to add a new source, the card doesn't show up, any advice?
