Verdict

Genki ShadowCast 2

7 / 10 Expert Rating

An impressively small dongle that keeps 4K passthrough alongside 1080p60 capture, just know it's a smaller company than Elgato or AVerMedia.

DIGITNOW! V316 4K HDMI Video Capture Card

5 / 10 Expert Rating

A legitimate budget pick with core specs that genuinely compete above its price, at the support and polish cost typical of accessory-first brands.
