With the ability to capture 1080p 60 FPS and pass through 4K 60 FPS, it should be a decent budget solution to capture your Mister FPGA gameplay or other consoles. Certified for OBS, this should be a simple plug and play solution. Let's put it to the test. Let's get this gumball out of the wrapper. Here's the included USB-C cable and HDMI cable. Got an instruction booklet.Watch

I've made sure that it is 100% plugged into a usb 3.0 port yet no matter which port it always comes back with the purple light. Anytime i try to look at it through either the camera app or inside obs the light turns red and it says no signal on the display. I've tried updating the firmware but I just get the message that it needs to be a 3.0 port.Read thread E
