Our USB device has done comprehensive tests before shipment. Most of the incompatibilities we have experienced are not from the USB capture device itself, but from the sophisticated software and hardware combination of PC or laptop. Please follow the following suggestions to see any helps.

OBS is popular USB capture freeware and has

2. protect legal content from pirates. If any HDMI input with HDCP protection, OSD will display a message to indicate HDCP existence. No capture will be legally allowed if HDCP is detected. Please use non-HDCP protected HDMI sources or disable HDCP in order to get USB device work. Device like PS4 supports such a feature to turn HDCP off.

Due to the complexities of OS and computer

HDMI cable quality may also play an essential role when capturing. Please be sure of that HDMI cable can do 1080P@60 HDMI signal transmission or better. Try different cables when the device is not able to work as expected.

If audio has noise, please adjust sampling frequency setting on PC or laptop. If the default sampling rate is 48000 Hz, please select 44100 Hz and vice versa. The path of setting sampling frequency on windows 10 is:
