Whether you’re streaming on Vimeo, YouTube Live, or preparing footage for upload to your company's Google Drive folder, the Plugable Performance NIX Capture Card features the ability to capture at 1080p and 60 frames per second, a no-latency HDMI display passthrough, and low system resource usage.
For step-by-step instructions on setting up the capture card with Windows, macOS, or Linux and a wide variety of popular supported cameras (Sony, Nikon, Canon, FujiFilm, Panasonic), and other important information, please see the 'Get Started' and 'FAQ' sections of this product page.
Note: The input does not allow recording from HDCP-enabled sources such as Blu-ray players, set-top boxes, older Cameras with Unencrypted HDMI output or streaming devices.
Extensive Compatibility
The NIX capture card works with popular software streaming solutions such as OBS, StreamLabs OBS, and XSplit on Windows, macOS, and Linux!
Streaming, capturing, and pass through are supported at a max resolution of 1080p 60Hz (1920x1080 @ 60Hz), via supported streaming platforms such as Zoom, YouTube Live, or Google Meetings.
HDMI 1.4 Pass Through with Near-Zero Latency
With 1080p 60Hz (1920x1080 @ 60Hz) HDMI pass through, a splitter is not required for capturing all of your exciting gaming moments.
Plug your console or PC into the HDMI input port, and your display into the HDMI output port, for latency-free and hassle-free pass through. So you won't need an HDMI splitter just to get a video feed to your display.
Note: Monitor modes above 1920x1080 @ 60Hz are not supported via pass through.
Supports USB 3.0 and USB-C Connections
The NIX capture card includes both USB-C and USB 3.0 (USB-A) cables, so you can connect to virtually any modern Windows, macOS*, or Linux system with USB 3.0 (or higher) ports.
USB-A is the traditional rectangular USB port. USB-C is a newer standard with an oblong oval-shaped connector found on more recent computers. Thunderbolt 3 ports also function as USB-C ports.
USB 3.0 is also listed as USB 3.1 (Gen 1)/USB 3.2 (Gen 1) by some computer manufacturers. USB 2.0 connections will limit capture quality.
* Mac systems can be used for recording other platforms but are not compatible as input source.
Plug and Play, Not Proprietary
By utilizing built-in drivers in your operating system for direct capture, you don’t have to take away from your most important business functions trying to manage clunky additional software or drivers.
With the lowest resource usage around, the NIX capture card doesn’t waste precious memory capacity or CPU/GPU performance to capture your most important business footage.
Compatibility Details
The NIX capture card can capture HDMI output from popular Cameras such as Sony, Canon, and Nikon!
Note: macOS, and platforms that require High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP), such as Blu-ray/DVD players, Roku, Netflix, etc., are not supported as sources. Older cameras require HDCP on their HDMI outputs and are not supported.
The capture card uses Frame Rate Up-Conversion (FRUC) to take input from the source platform (PC, Digital Cameras, Gaming consoles) and upsample the video to 1920x1080 at 60 frames per second. In some cases, streamed text may appear smaller in appearance compared to the pass-through display.
