Verdict
Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini
9 / 10 Expert Rating
The standard choice for live multi-camera switching that plays nicely with any capture software as a single UVC source.
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.
