Genuinely impressed with how easy it was to set this up. Inside the box there's a short instruction manual, but also as a FYI, you need to include audio input capture as well if you want to listen to whatever's going through the HDMI cable. Just note that this capture card is only appropriate for 1080p/60FPS at best, I wouldn't recommend this if you're after 4K - but for the general consumer, 1080/60 is totally fine. There's a ~0.2ms latency when previewing through OBS which might affect precise action gameplay e.g. Elden Ring/Furi/etc, but for games like Pokemon and Persona 5, this card is totally usable (and if that's an issue for you, you can always just use the HDMI throughput to directly display to your monitor rather than OBS, so no issues in this department either). This HDMI capture card's value is honestly insane for $30AUD, ElGato's go for $200+ and they for sure aren't worth almost 7x the price, if you're after a capture card on a budget this is the way to go.
