USB Capture HDMI Gen 2

The easiest way to capture HDMI video — plug in and go.

The Magewell USB Capture HDMI Gen 2 is the gold-standard HDMI capture dongle. Simply plug it into any USB 3.0 port, connect your HDMI source, and it instantly appears as a webcam in your streaming, recording, or conferencing software. No drivers. No setup. It just works.

Inside its compact aluminium shell is a dedicated FPGA processing chip that handles scaling, deinterlacing, colour space conversion, and frame-rate conversion entirely onboard. Your computer simply receives a perfectly-processed video stream, leaving your CPU free to run OBS, Zoom, or whatever else you need.

Trusted by hospitals, universities, broadcasters, and thousands of streamers worldwide, this device is engineered for continuous operation. The solid metal housing dissipates heat passively — no fans, no noise, no moving parts to fail.
