Verdict
AVerMedia Streamer Ultra 2.1
7 / 10 Expert Rating
A genuinely capable 4K60 external capture box with flexible HDMI 2.1/2.0 switching for live-commerce and DSLR streamers, held back only by its brand-new status and a macOS capture cap at 4K30.
Roland VC-1-DL
7 / 10 Expert Rating
A genuinely useful multi-format converter for legacy AV environments, far more niche and pricier than a typical gaming capture card.
