Today's capture card review is pretty fascinating. This capture card is the cheapest capture card you can buy, and is actually a worthwhile Elgato Cam Link alternative. I'm really not sure where this came from, but I'm sure glad it did. Let's review the "Can't Link" (Thanks, Arsenio Dev!)

Been eyeballing this for a while.

@xWood4000 4 года назад

Can confirm, mine also has 4 pins and checked with USB device tree viewer the type and it is indeed high speed, so only usb 3.0. I'm keeping it because it surprisingly works with my 50fps camera but obviously has to do frame skipping Edit: the video signal is a little bit soft, but good enough for me

@lal12 4 года назад

Yeah also got this one. The ebay page makes a lot of noise about being USB 3.0 and therefore being so much faster, but yeah as the commenters here say it is a blue colored USB 2.0 plug. Did only tested with my small notebook yet where it did very bad, but this could also be a limitation of my hardware, will try it again on my PC. I also ordered the other ones with and without loop, will see how well they work.

Thanks for this video! I could really use a webcam (as most people need them these days with COVID), and the webcam options I was looking at are back-ordered for months. I have 3 DSLR cameras at home, so this is an amazing option. Leaves my budget open for buying an external microphone to add to the setup, rather than preordering an overpriced webcam. I ordered one and it should be in in a few days. Here's to hoping it works!

*Here's how to get the best visual quality out of this capture card, (ive spent a good few hours experimenting to find this out)* Ok so I believe this capture card only outputs at a LIMITED REFERENCE RANGE (16-235), Which means on pc the image will be washed out, or darked out. *HOW I FIXED IT!:* - Put my xbox 360 "reference levels" display settings to STANDARD (limited) - Then in StreamLabs OBS, video capture device settings I set COLOUR RANGE= FULL - Then add colour correction filter to Video Capture device - Gamma= -0.07 / Contrast= +0.02 / Brightness= -0.01 Now the colour and brightness will be PERFECT! Now on your pc monitor the video capture card shows black=0 and white=255. *No longer washed out 16-235 range. Now full 0-255 range.* You can test if you wish by going to your in game video calibration settings for brightness, and take a screenshot and import to photoshop, the blacks = rgb 0, and the whites = rgb 255 here is the visual quality i get on Forza Motorsport (also stream is only at 3500kbps bit rate) www.twitch.tv/videos/712149036?t=00h02m08s *Update: just for a touch of extra brightness i now set the filter at:* - Gamma= -0.06 / Contrast= +0.01 / Brightness= -0.01

It worked just fine to use in one of our multi cam live concert streams. We even tested it out as the output capture card for a Roland V1-HD switcher and it worked seamlessly. We used it with OBS and it picked it up as a webcam without any issues. While this won't be a part in our professional streams, it's perfect for beginning streamers and anyone who has to work with a tight budget. Thank you for making this video!!!

Man I can’t thank you enough for taking the time on making this video, it’s baffling how all of the very well known brands are just sold out everywhere, and those resellers with stock jacking up the prices like crazy, leaving folks with a need of one with no obvious options. If it’s not too much to ask, could you please make a similar video but checking webcam options instead?, with logitech c920, and many others being impossible to get, there are a ton of other “generic” ones and it’s just difficult to really choose one, Thanks!, PD: congrats and blessings about your newest member in your family!, cheers

Thanks, cool video. I might have jumped out there and ordered one right after watching this if you hadn't mentioned the 3.0 version being out of stock. I'd like to try one of those, my capture needs are currently low, hobby level recording of gaming on xbox. Currently I use the built-in recording which limits to 10 mins of video. I say that to say, really this device would be exactly what I need and would most likely open up many different possibilities in the world of making content that it will lead me to a more expensive purchase in the future.

For the record, you can use multiple of these cards at once, however they have to each be on their own dedicated USB input (ie you can't put multiple on one USB 3.0 hub). I was curious and they were only $27 so I thought why not? I was VERY excited to see that it works. I use two of them, with two Sony mirrorless cameras and an Elgato HD60 S+ for Resolume graphics, all going into OBS Studio. There's no visable difference between the Elgato and the generic HDMI ones, and they all work at the same time. Simply fantastic.

Supposedly, it can do HDMI inputs of 4Kp30, 24/30/36-bit depth color, while outputting 1080p60 in YUV or JPEG output format, audio is L-PCM. The the latency is said to be 6 - 11 frames depending on the resolution with 720p input to 720p output.. a bit faster using 1080p in and 1080p out.

can u make an update video with you guys testing multiple units from different distributors and seeing how durable they are in terms of recording? Do they heat up? Will they fry due to long term usage? etc. The price for what it offers is amazing but it would be a shame if the majority of units are prone to frying after a couple of uses. Just some thoughts. Great Video!

@SrCarpi 4 года назад

Great idea. I was wondering whether all these units -- which look identical -- might share only the unbranded external housing but have different innards. If that were the case, the $50 ones from Amazon might actually be worth buying over the $17 ones from eBay.

@KCWM 4 года назад

I bought the MavisLink one on Amazon before I knew they were less than half the price on eBay. It gets warm to the touch, for sure, but nothing hot. I generally stream for 2-3 hours at a time and don't feel like the heat is abnormal. Maybe over time it will become an issue. I've been using mine steadily for about two weeks.

@EliteRock Год назад

A heads-up regarding something never mentioned in all the reviews I've seen; all these cheap capture cards output at a fixed framerate, 30 or 60, whereas a Cam Link can sync with the input framerate. If you happen to want to capture 24 (23.976) or 25 fps, the output of the former will suffer from motion judder (and conversion back to 24/25fps in an editor will not correct it, in fact probably _worsen_ it ). For streamers and game-play capture it's moot, but if you're capturing (and editing) from a 24/25fps camera to create TV/broadcast compatible material you'll need the Elgato or something similar. Also, the cheap cards all output mono audio, the Elgato will pass-through PCM stereo (and likely keep it in sync within a frame or two, which makes life that bit easier for editing).

@Rockmankb 4 года назад

When you say: “with a raw access to the feed it can have even more of a preview latency”, what exactly do you mean? I’m very interested in seeing exactly how low you can get the preview latency to go. What exactly would I have to do to get “raw access” to the feed?

@RexxReviews 4 года назад

I would love to know this as well, I had to add a 120ms offset on my mic to get everything synced on mine.

@cryora 4 года назад

He actually said "to a more raw access to the feed it can an even lower preview latency". Maybe he means OBS has some processing that it does to the feed before sending it to the preview. Things I can think of are color filtering, overlays, converting the resolution and FPS values, downscale filtering. Or maybe since OBS has all of these other features, it's running tasks alongside feeding the video, such as recording/streaming and audio mixing, that may contribute to increasing the latency in the preview. I don't know if any of this is true, as I don't know how OBS works precisely. Perhaps a more raw feed would mean whatever signal you get from the capture card, you feed it straight to a monitor without doing anything to it. I don't know what programs can do this though.

@TzufFamilyBand 3 года назад

Great video. I’m looking into this for live streaming over obs with my Sony a6000. I have some questions I was hoping you could help me with 1) do you have any suggestions on where’s best to get a cant link which has the low latency like ur version? Or it’s not really seller specific. 2) our goal is to live stream our music concerts from home. I have a Sony a6000 and video lens. And I’m concerned with the mjpeg compression being that the can’t stream only streams in compress mjpeg, how much is that downgrading my cameras quality would an iPhone X hooked up directly over usb to a pc, stream higher quality video, than a Sony a6000 with a good video lens, which is being downgraded to mjpeg through the can’t link?

@ermaccer 3 года назад

For anyone interested in recording old consoles (like using HDMI plugs or component to HDMI) with this card - it has problems recording/receiving interlaced video, at first glance it looks like it might work but any quick movement makes the card freeze the image and glitch out. It works perfectly fine with progressive modes, so you need to force games to run in progressive.

@Meedup 3 года назад

You said you managed to play through the preview only through OBS. I tried this and I have a ~500ms audio delay from the video (video has basically no delay like you mentioned, but audio comes late). The way to fix it for stream is to set a simple manual video delay, but then it becomes unplayable from preview and I'd need a hdmi splitter. Did you have any audio/video delay? How did you fix it?

@S1lentwitha1 3 года назад

@wildwalkeruk 3 года назад

Several points I would like to raise here (please don't be offended, I am not trying to be a d!ck, just want to maybe bring your attention to a few things) 1. HDMI has gone through many iterations, we are on HDMI 2.1, this supports HDR, 8K 120FPs etc etc. 2. Every time you produce something, you pay a royalty. This gets expensive (this is partly why HP etc invented Display port, to avoid royalties) 3. Yes, hardware costs come down, but the software that is developed costs way more, and this development cost has to be recuperated. 4. CODEC support generally has associated licensing costs also, codec's are generally not free. There are probably other reasons that i have not considered, but the HDMI element is a very small part of the product. Yes I would love an elgato style product for $30, but I think I might have to wait :)

@iRAWkTheWorld 3 года назад

I bought this in hopes to play my switch on my pc and stream to my friends on discord. The latency is too much for the types of games I play (rhythm games such as Taiko, Muse Dash and Xonic) If I get a hdmi splitter would it let me play directly on the tv with no latency but also allow footage to be recorded on obs? I don’t know how people use this card by playing looking at the preview only

I bought the same capture card. I'm using a 5yr old i3 laptop and Sony a5100. It worked but only for 720p 30 fps. Frames were dropped when using 1080p 30fps, video was downgraded to 10 fps, with significant latency. Unusable for OBS. I then bought another no-name capture card, around $60, but this was 4K and 3.0 USB. The 1080p 30fps worked with "forgivable" latency--I'm using this to make videos for the classes I teach during the pandemic, so I hope they wouldn't mind the slight delay.
