Input format is different from recording output

A capture adapter makes a supported HDMI feed available to capture software for preview or recording. It does not make a source camera or player into a different resolution.

The range states input up to 4K at 30Hz and captured output up to 1080P at 60Hz, with the highest uncompressed output tied to the USB 3.0 version and suitable port. Do not assume identical performance from USB 2.0. Compatible software and a suitable source are required.
