INOGENI 4K2USB3 Reviews

It's excellent! Totally worth the investment

By Mark

I use the Inogeni 4K HDMI to USB 3.0 Video Capture Card to feed 1080P60 from a Panasonic HC-X2000 for Picture-in-Picture recording in OBS on a 2020 13 MacBook Pro - and the Inogeni performs flawlessly. Of the HDMI to USB capture cards I have (Atomos Connect, Magewell USB Capture HDMI, AverMedia ExtremeCap UVC, and of course the Inogeni), the Inogeni 4K HDMI to USB 3.0 provides easiest connectivity and most reliable picture - and barely gets warm in the process. It's worth the investment if you're doing mission critical work.

We needed this Video Capture Card to live stream our first every live training. We had an existing semi professional Camcorder (purchased from B&H) and the staff at B&H recommended the Inogeni 4K HDMI to USB 3.0 video capture card and ensured us that the combination of our camcorder and this video capture card would give us the best quality live recording, better than any webcam. We just completed day one of our live training and the picture and performance of the live stream has been awesome!! Thank you very much for your assistance and your professional advice!!

I've used software solutions to get my DSLRs to work as webcams, but they have all been fussy and buggy. This thing just works every time I plug it in. Highly recommend!

Truly plug and play

I use this to convert my Panasonic Lumix G9 into a webcam. On my Dell XPS 15 I just plug it all in, and Skype, Zoom, Microsoft Teams all recognize the device as an alternate webcam. The built in camera app also recognizes the device as a rear facing camera (like on MS powered tablets). Like I say, right out of the box, just plug and play... that simple. In addition, there is an app to configure the device, installed on the computer, (to choose record resolution and the like). It is nothing fancy, but does the job. As stated in some reviews, the device does get warm, but to me it doesn't feel dangerously warm or hot so as to damage electronics (my Canon 5d mkiv in the 105 degree summer sun gets hotter than this device). So I was not alarmed by the heat of the capture card. In all, I am very pleased with this product.

Excellent Product

This works amazingly well! I did not install any software and simply plugged it in using a Surface Pro 7 and a GoPro camera. B&H recommended this device and I thank B&H very much for that!

Could not have been easier

Could not have been easier, plugged into laptop, turned on a HD Cam Corder, and it popped up as a camera source in zoom. I didn't have a need for recording or some other form of capture, I was just streaming. Compared to all the hassle with capture cards over the years, I was blown away how easy this was. I've also used this with a video mixing board and it worked instantly.

It just works...

We have been live streaming for a couple of years with a self contained Android based system. In recent months, the systems (we have 2) began dropping frames, causing disruptions in service. Our internet connection is not the best, but it was not getting worse over time, so we assumed it was the devices - and it became intolerable. We purchased the Inogeni to use with an Apple iMac and free OBS software in the hope that this combination would work more reliably. Total cost is far more when you consider the iMac, but we already had them in place, so we are just leveraging something we had already invested in. So far, it has been bullet proof. The Inogeni is plug and play and definitely holds up better with a dicey internet connection. It has worked well enough that we just purchased a second card for a different venue in the building.

question

The Specs don't list that it can handle an input of 800x600 over HDMI. Could it handle this?

On the B&H site we list the 800x600 specification as being supported by the INOGENI USB 3.0 HDMI Video Capture Card.

The Inogeni website says this unit does "Automatic scaling and frame rate conversion". Can I specify the scaling and frame rate? I'd like to double the frame rate as a means of de-interlacing from 480i 29.97 fps NTSC, and scale it slightly to 800x600 progressive, 59.94 fps. Will it do that? And what capture software is recommended? OBS? any others? Thanks...
Asked by: Steve
While you should be able to up-res an SD signal to HD or even 800x600, Inogeni does not list support for 480i with this capture device, only 480p. This products runs with all software compatible to DirectShow/MediaFoundation, V4L2, QuickTime and AVFoundation. VLC is a popular free option to use and it should work with OBS as well.

question

can i use a galaxy s6 as a monitor at 4k 24p with a7s ii (even if it downconverts to lower resolution)? What about the new Note 7 with usb-c?
Asked by: Michael
We know of no hardware solution like you are asking for at this time. However, we do suggest that you download the Sony PlayMemories Camera Apps > Smart Remote Control. This app not only will allow you to control the a7 camera, you will be able to view live video. As we understand, you will only be able to see MPG4 and no sound.

question

Can I use this with Dell XPS Laptops? I receive a 1080p signal from a video transmitter and I'm processing the video with opencv in microsoft visual studio. I figured as far as its working with skype it should be fine for our project as well! Could you please verify this for me. Thanks
Asked by: Amir R.
It will be compatible as long as the Dell XPS is running Windows 7/8/8.1 (32/64-bit), has a USB 3.0 port and contains an Intel, Renesas, ASMedia, or Fresco Logic motherboard.

question

I have a Mac. Do I need to download software to access live video coming into the computer or is there a current app in the computer that will collaborate with this equipment?
Asked by: Charles M.
According to the Inogeni website, 4K questions and answers page, 4K capture on OSX is not possible with their device.
