Capture cards are crucial to streaming with an external Camera, DSLR, MIRRORLESS, OR a CinéRig, and I've used 5 so far, MIRACAST Capture just works. I have an AI powered camera, a simple WebCam, and require a full featured DSLR,, or A LUMIX G9, mirrorless unit for the video version of a Professional Sports Podcast, i CoHost. That said, there's not a lot of room for "˜Capture Device not Recognized', and anyone who's streamed on OBS, recorded on OBS, or STREAMYARD, you are familiar, it's a weird idiosynchrocy, that plagues external camera connections, and seems too always pop up WHENEVER YOU HAVE A GUEST, OR anything that's urgent or time sensitive. Production doesn't seem like a big deal, but when it's designed for an actual betting platform app, so it's actually no different than a 4K full feature pre-recorded series. Mira box Capture has been implemented a month ago, and it's worked flawlessly for our show, 4 days a week full set, full DOP Crew, and multi guests, multi hosts, add highlights, specific NCAA, NHL clips for reference, and I couldn't say more about this device. I LIVE STREAM , CLEAN 4K out, into MIRACAST , then out to a Portkeys Monitor, and the USB 3.0 directly into a Zephrys, G14, Ryzen 9, without a hiccup. I normally run OBS W/ 3X Recorder plug in to pre record, or STREAMYARD to stream live. Audio / Video quality is A+, and again I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH how solid it is, it works, it CONSISTENTLY WORKS, and is self powered by the Signal. Which is huge, because of all the need power "˜mains', out needed to power accessories. I have been out of the review circle for a while because of other projects, but I WAS MOTIVATED TO LEAVE THIS REVIEW as
I acquired a bunch of new equip. for the podcast, so it's only fair to offer my prof opinion, so I HIGHLY RECOMMEND, THIS IS A SOLID 5STAR BUY!

Worked for roughly an hour when I first used it. After that, I decided to clean my setup so the cables weren't in the way and now it does not work. I am using the exact same cables, HDMI and USB, that I used the first time and now it does not do anything. I know the HDMI cables work since I used them in other parts of my setup before I had this mirabox and after it decided to not work, and the USB cable is the one provided that also worked the first time.

Update: The seller did reach out to me on the 16th and I replied on the 17th, today is the 24th and I have yet to hear anything again. Mirabox is still broken, and the return window is closed so now I am the proud owner of a paperweight. I have heard mixed reviews about this online and it seems it is largely luck based if you get one that works, so buy at your own risk.

Update 2: After chatting with Amazon support the seller suddenly felt more passionate about my problems and sent me a newer model of this device. I received the HSV321 capture card completely free and it has worked flawlessly thus far, even after reorganizing my desk and moving plugs around it still works.

I cannot speak for this capture card specifically given my previous reviews but a lot of people online use it and recommend it. While reviews are mixed the people who leave reviews usually faced some kind of problem with the device, such as myself. The seller seems concerned about customer problems and, in my case, eventually made things right so don't worry about receiving a faulty unit. Take this review however you want but I mean it in a positive way since everything worked out.

*Update a month in down below, added a star back to the overall rating thus making it five stars!

Day two of having this and it works great! Zero (or very miniscule) latency and the quality is pretty good. I use it for my Switch as it's the only console I have since I primarily game on my PC and I've loved using it while playing the new Monster Hunter. I was originally going to wait a while before a review, but I decided that I would point out the issue I already have with it. The audio on the card sometimes just doesn't work. I'm not sure if it's an issue with the cord it came with or the capture card itself. At the beginning of day two, I turned on my PC and got prepared to use the capture card but to my annoyance, no audio was coming from the card. Alright, I thought the HDMI cords might have gotten wiggled (they fit snuggly into the card, but this was my first thought) out of place and I made sure they were fine. Still no sound. After a bit I realized it wasn't the HDMI cords, but the USB cord. Now, I've never had an issue with that particular USB port, so I know that the port itself isn't the issue. I had thought the audio problem was a one-off, perhaps the cord not being inserted all the way, but I had to do some restarts on my computer again a few hours later and just as a test decided to check the audio on the card and it had done it again. So I had to unplug it the same as this morning. It's a simple thing, albeit an issue that I'd rather not have. If this issue wasn't present, I'd be completely satisfied with the card and give it 5-stars! While I do recommend the card, I do think it's something to keep in mind before purchasing.
If by chance any other issues arise, I will update this review!
I'll also mention that the site has horrible bandwidth, so watching their videos takes a long time if you're not downloading them (which also takes a bit regardless of your internet). This doesn't take any points off of the product itself, by the way, but I feel like mentioning it won't hurt if you're hoping the site is a speed demon for their videos.

UPDATE: The USB needs to be removed and reinserted every time I turn my computer off and then back on. I had previously thought that it happened occasionally, but it's every time. A tedious problem for an otherwise great capture card.

UPDATE: A month after using this, the audio issue seems to have fixed itself. I decided after a rather stressful day to try using it despite not unplugging and plugging in again, and lo and behold, it worked. I'm not sure how far in it started working, but either way I am very happy. As for how the card is functioning a month in, the card is still working great! I will definitely not hesitate to recommend this if anyone asks me for a cheaper capture card!

Good quality, well made and easy to use. I make a lot of videos for social media and this is the best gadget I have ever purchased. It easily allows me to store and capture videos then move and view them from one device to another. It is basically plug and play, not hard to use at all and a super good price too, highly recommend.

I stream on Twitch and like most people on Twitch, I bought into the must get an El Gado because everyone says they are the best. The El Gado program kept overriding my windows settings which really made streaming and my live in general difficult. Then it suddenly started gutting out in the middle of games like Mario Kart. So a friend of mine suggested this. I scoffed but decided to try it anyway. I'm very glad that I did because not only was it easy to install, I don't have the problems I had before, and it works with a PS3, which an El Gado doesn't do. Save yourself a hundred bucks or more and just get this capture card.
