Ezcap321 actually supports 480p, only if you connect your capture card via USB "2.0" port. It also supports NTSC(720x480@60p) and PAL(720x576@50p) resolutions too. Even though XRGB color range is disabled in USB 2.0, that shoudn't be a big deal.
Yo eposvox what camera are you using and lens. Love the wide view. I see you stream gear and retro gear but im not sure what exactly are you using for the youtube video.
Ezcap has an entire line of capture cards and even their own website. I have an ezcap 294 and a ezcap 280 myself. They have literally been making these for decades it's just they tend to fly under the radar compared to the more mainstream options in NA. They are generally more reliable than the completely un-named brands. They tend to be popular in countries that have lower income brackets. Namely south America and Southeast asia as a lot of people in those regions stream using them. If you want retro capture the ezcap 284 is probably the best option it has analog inputs and works well with older resolutions. Though the ezcap 324 is the latest and greatest one with 4k60 passthru and 1440p/60 or 1080p/120 capture. Believe it or not this company will actually honor warranties I have done it before on some busted cards.
The 294 is the PCI-e card, right? Could you kindly share your experience with it? I just found that card a couple days ago and I'm really thinking about getting one but I haven't been able to find some review in a language that I can understand. Can you use the preview to play directly from the PC? How much time have you had it? Have you experienced problems with that card? If you can reply I would really appreciate it.
@@The_Broyi It's solid the pokemon shining pearl lets play on my channel was recorded with it. They have a newer pcie model out though. The ezcap 324. You can find both on aliexpress.
I've seen the other model but where I live the price is close to an elgato card. For what I see in your videos the quality is good, so now I'm more tempted to get one. You mentioned in your first comment that the company respects the guarantees, have you had any problem with the 294?
@@The_Broyi No problems I have used it quite a bit and it always worked just fine. The capture quality is good but not as good as some of the more expensive cards on the market. If you buy off aliexpress I think they have a 30 day refund window.
I picked up the EZCAP320 which is a Avermedia Bolt Clone Called the Game Dock Ultra it has 4k60 HDR passthrough and 4K30 capture. It can also capture HDR using the EZCAP software but you need an Nvidia GPU to capture HDR. It's pretty good for the money I paid $75 for it. I'm using it for 4K linux install tutorials but it seems to be a nice capture card except for the RGB vomit just like the avermedia. It also works great with my Panasonic G9 if that helps anyone!
@@rias4020 Yea it has a bright and annoying RGB light on the bottom just like the Avermedia Livegamer Bolt. I wish it didn't have the light because if I use it with a camera I have to cover it up since the flickering RGB light from ezcap320 capture card can cause the camera's white balance to drastically change. RGB is fine if you like that sort of stuff but I personally don't care for it.
@@joesalyersso if you're referring to the physical device having a rgb light, you could cover it with american tape or something else and would be solved right?
I run a business converting video tapes to digital files, I had two of those EZcap composite capture dongles in the past, both died in a matter of months, hope their new gear is built better.
Yes, if the device sending video over HDMI detects a 4k capable device at the other end of the cable, such as this EZcap device, it’s possible to send a 4k video signal. I don’t know if it’s pure pass through so you’d need to use an HDMI splitter and 4K HDMI dummy plug in the video chain, or if the device itself registers as the end device capable of 4K, but either way, means you don’t need a 4k screen to capture a 4K output.
I got this card yesterday. I can confirm it is better than my friend's elgato hd60s. Same picture quality. And it can capture 4k@30hz... Elgato at that point can't... However both elgato and this uses nv12 and colors looks weak compared to a genuine YUY2 card
help help help plzzz reply can you please tell me if i use this capture card in my rog3 mobile so it let my ROG3 play in 90 fps and 120fps ???. cus tht shit elgato stuck my ROG3 ONLY TO 60 FPS...... so please help me out please reply any one
i want a capture card that can play games at regular 1080p with the same input delay as my TV, what do you guys recommend me buying, cheap side btw, i have an internet cafe but i want the pc to shut the screen off when there time is finished, and a simple software that can preview the game to play.
the absolute CHEAPEST i can get an EVGA XR1 Lite in canada is $115 CAD before tax/shipping... I think for my purposes this wins out by a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge mile, at the $66 CAD or even $90 CAD itd be on Amazon
Think yt deleted my first comment. I ordered one from aliexpress after seeing your video a couple weeks ago thankyou, i've had it for about 2 days now and have been recording switch gameplay at 1080p It looks great. The model i got says it supports 4k I haven't tested that though as I have no devices capable of 4k. Cant post the link but aliexpress title was "Full HD 1080P 60fps Real 4K Recording Loop Mic In Audio Video Capture Card HDMI To USB 3.0 "
ive been looking for a budget elgato hd60s competitor for a while so thx for the vid, I was wondering how the passthrough latency is especially when it comes to playing competitive shooters etc. P.s also love ur videos especially the stream deck ones😊
@@abhijeetsinghchauhan34 yes it does you can watch a few of my streams on twitch to see the captures or I can dm you a video on my setup but it plug and play easy
The USB-A actually works for me in this case. I have a two-PC recording/streaming setup, and the PC that does the recording is on the older side. No USB-C ports, and I have no desire to try and stuff a PCIE to USB-C right under my old 1070TI. Been using this card for a while with no issues, so it's a great option for people with older PCs and budget limits.
Hey epos, I've just went on a binge on your videos tryna make a purchase on a capture card that makes the most sense for ps4 pro gaming. I have a 4k monitor, a ps4 and a laptop. Both laptop and ps4 are connected to the same monitor. I'm just wondering what my best option for a card is at this point, I've seen so many of your reviews now and I'm now just so confused as to whats what cause I honestly have no idea about any of this stuff lol. All I want is to be able to play my games on 4k like I regularly do and the stream output preferably be 1080p but it seems like some of these capture cards will end up making my ps4 output into the monitor only 1080? My hair is falling off by the second lol I should've just went with the first thing I had in mind which was evga xr1 (not lite) cause I guess (i know you hate that it's called advanced passthrough) but seems like a pretty legit option for ps4 gaming as I don't have to switch around my hdmi if I don't want to stream. Regarding this, I also wonder if my laptop is off, then power to the xr1 wouldn't be there wouldnt I have to switch it around anyway or just turn on the laptop? I didn't think this stuff was going to get so confusing lol I thought stuff was just plug n play and that's all she wrote hahaha.
Looks like Garuda! Arch-based. EposVox/others can correct me if im wrong but i think thats their logo Edit: looked further, its the KDE Dr460nized edition of Garuda indeed
Mr Vox can you please do a review of the Z CAM IPMAN Gemini Pro it looks like a pretty cheap dual HDMI capture card. I was looking into their Wireless Video and I happened to see they announced it. Always love your videos, keep it up!
Lol I remember being one of those pestering u to test one of these cards. I own the Y&H/ezcap320 since last year, as far as I can tell the 321 and 320 should be the same card just different casing? But ??? How did u get 1080p 120 to work? I do 1440p 60 and 1080p 60 but I can't get 120 to actually work? ATM I'm just assuming since I don't have a native 1080p 120 monitor that's why I can't enable it. My panel is a benq 1440p 144hz freesync, I clone/split my output vs passthrough. I've even tried making a custom resolution using the custom resolution utility and still no dice.
I have tested this Capture card on my PS5 with my 120hz gaming monitor and it will pass-through the 120hz but the pass-through is terrible with color. Contrast is terrible. I can barley see in the distance in red dead online when it goes night time in game. Im sending it back to Amazon. I purchased the AVerMedia Live Gamer Ultra due to the reviews and build quality and premium internal components. AVerMedia is around $180 on Amazon after tax but you get what you pay for. I receive the new capture card tomorrow so I will update on the picture quality.
10 years ago, easycap was the entry level capture card to record your PS3/X360. It was also a great deal to pass your old VHS/Beta to DVD. Nowadays, videogame consoles have DVRs and we don't even burn DVDs anymore. Crazy how everything changes.....
this is a good option for emerging countries, like brazil where i live, that common brands like evga are not affordable to import

On Windows no capture card shows a >60fps option, you just have to set it to “Highest FPS” to get it
Please review Pengo VideoSync Grabber capture card supports vrr
So the xr1 lite wouldn't be a replacement for this since it only records up to 1080p60, while the ez cap can do 4k
If you specifically wanted 4k30 recording, sure
so its an elgato hd60 but cheaper and 120hz 1080p huh. too good to be true?
