ClonerAlliance 4KP Plus Capture Card Review & Teardown | Voltlog #332

Welcome to a new video, today we’re taking a closer look at this capture card which was sent in for this review by ClonerAlliance. This is their Flint 4K Plus model but they do sell other models as well so check out the links in the description to find out more and also watch this video till the end cause I have a giveaway which might interest you.

So let’s talk a little bit about the specs of this capture card, it’s 4K passthrough at 60Hz meaning that if you have a 4K signal from a camera or a gaming console, you can pass that through this capture card to a 4K monitor without losing any quality.

The interface is HDMI 2.0 for both the in and out passthrough, there is no HDR passthrough or capture, and the capture specs are 1080P 60fps maximum. Works on USB3.0 and USB2.0 but you really want to use it over USB3.0 to get the best quality, because I think over USB2.0 it switches to MJPEG codec while on USB3.0 it’s YuY2 uncompressed and it does support other frame rates like 24fps if you need that.

This capture card is UVC compatible, UVC means USB video class, this usb class describes devices capable of streaming video and so it’s universally compatible with pretty much any OS, it’s plug and play and it will show up as a camera device on your system which makes it super simple to use even with the simplest windows camera app.

Wiistar 1080p 60fps HDMI USB Capture Card Review & Teardown | Voltlog #306

Ever since I got the new microscope and HDMI camera setup I was thinking of ways to capture video on my computer from the microscope camera. This particular camera is the Hayear 34MP model which I reviewed in Voltlog #292, it outputs 1080P at 60fps over HDMI and it does have on-board micro-sd card recording, so I could record images or videos to an sd-card but if you want to live-stream the camera feed, a capture card is needed on your computer. There are countless options in terms of capture cards but as usual I tried to find the cheapest solution that does the job well enough.

This particular unit came up in my searches, it’s relatively inexpensive when compared to other options that advertise similar specs 1080p at 60fps, it has two hdmi ports, one is an input for capture the other one should be a pass-through so you can connect a monitor at the same time of capturing video but we’ll see if that function works as advertised in a few minutes.

We have a USB Type-C connector for the computer side and an audio output 3.5mm jack. It is mentioned in the product page that it’s supposed to have a delay between audio and video so I’m guessing it’s related to this audio output port. The enclosure is aluminium which should help with heat dissipation and this particular unit is branded Wiistar but I believe you will find this under other names as well. Inside the box you get a USB A to Type-C cable about 1m long, a small usb A to type C adapter, a disk and a user manual.
