NZXT Signal 4K30 Capture Card Review

Performance

To set up, just plug your computer into the HDMI in. For the Full HD model, I used my Xbox Series X and set it to output in 4K (to use the passthrough feature). You’ll then need to use HDMI out to connect your display, and the Type-C to the system you’ll be using to record the video; that’ll be my PC, but you could use a laptop or something similar too. It is compliant with HDMI 2.0, HDCP 1.4/2.2 and DVI 1.0 specifications, and the input and output resolutions are detailed below. Oh and don’t forget you’ll want the latest software downloaded too, however, the device will be detected as input from most major capture software, so you could easily do things your own way too.

Using the NZXT Signal really couldn’t be much easier, just hook up the cables, and open up your capture software. I used OBS, added it as a new input device and it all worked. Well, that’s a lie, I did it all in the wrong order without reading the instructions and the sound didn’t work, but turning it off and back on again soon fixed that. Overall though, it’s stupidly easy to operate. Even Windows Camera app can accept the feed from it, if you just want to record a quick clip that way.
