Verdict
Blackmagic Design DeckLink Mini Recorder 4K
8 / 10 Expert Rating
An excellent low-profile SDI/HDMI capture card for DaVinci Resolve editors, entirely wrong for gaming capture.
Magewell Pro Capture HDMI 4K Plus
8 / 10 Expert Rating
Professional-grade internal capture built for broadcast production, overkill and overpriced for anyone outside that world.
