Magewell Pro Capture HDMI 4K Plus

The Pro Capture HDMI 4K Plus supports input resolutions up to 4096x2160 at 60fps via its HDMI 2.0 input, as well as lower resolutions including 1080p at high frame rates for gaming capture. It handles both RGB and YUV color spaces with support for up to 12-bit color depth.

Yes, the Magewell Pro Capture cards are compatible with OBS Studio on Windows, as the drivers expose the device as a standard DirectShow capture source. The card also works with other professional streaming and recording software including vMix and Wirecast.

Magewell provides Linux drivers for the Pro Capture family that support V4L2 (Video4Linux2) integration on common distributions. However, the Linux driver ecosystem is less mature than the Windows drivers, so you should verify compatibility with your specific distribution and software before purchasing.

Magewell advertises the Pro Capture line as having extremely low processing latency, typically just a few milliseconds for the video pipeline itself. Your total end-to-end latency will also depend on your capture software, rendering pipeline, and display chain beyond what the card itself adds.
