Important Notes

• Connect the device to a USB 3.0 or USB 3.2 (5Gbps/10Gbps) port on your computer. USB 2.0 ports are not supported.
• For optimal video capture quality, use the original USB-C cable included in the box, or a USB-C cable that supports 5Gbps or 10Gbps data transfer. Some USB-C cables only support USB 2.0 speeds and are not suitable for this device.
• For stable high-resolution video transmission, use High-Speed HDMI cables with 18Gbps bandwidth. HDMI cables should be shorter than 3 metres to ensure a reliable connection.
• Video recording quality depends not only on resolution and frame rate but also on the bitrate setting. To achieve good quality video at high resolutions, increase the bitrate in your software settings accordingly.
