The Easiest Way to Capture HDMI Video
The Magewell USB Capture HDMI Gen 2 is the easiest way to get professional-quality HDMI video into your computer. 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.
Why Choose the USB Capture HDMI Gen 2?
Most cheap capture dongles use software-based processing, which means your computer's CPU has to work overtime to decode and convert the video. The result? Dropped frames, audio sync issues, and a laptop that sounds like a jet engine.
The USB Capture HDMI Gen 2 is different. 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.
Built for Reliability
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. As an authorised UK Magewell reseller, every unit from StreamKit comes with a 3-year warranty, free UK shipping, and dedicated technical support.
