Datavideo CAP-2

The CAP-2 is an HDMI to USB 3.0 capture box that brings an HDMI camera, switcher, or console into a PC or laptop as a standard UVC device. There are no drivers to load: the computer sees it as a webcam, so it drops straight into OBS, Zoom, Teams, Wirecast, or any other streaming and conferencing app. It captures up to 1080p50/60 and needs no external power, drawing everything it needs from the USB bus.

Audio is flexible. A 3.5 mm stereo line-in lets you feed the box from a mixer or wireless receiver, and a switch chooses between that external line and the HDMI embedded audio so the right track always reaches the stream. Over USB 3.0 the CAP-2 outputs YUY2 and MJPG for clean, low-latency capture, and falls back to MJPG on a USB 2.0 host.
