Review of the UGREEN HDMI Video Capture Card

I have been trying out the UGREEN HDMI Video Capture Card and it works well for my use case. I use it to capture the screen of the Raspberry Pi and PC screens.

You may wonder why you may want to use the device to capture a PC screen, but there are several reasons. The first use case is to capture images and videos of BIOS settings. Another is for capturing screen  captures or videos of a PC recovery process. Lastly is to capture the installation of software that prompts the user to accept a security dialog  that is not accessible to screen capture software.

Thee UGREEN HDMI Video Capture Card may be used to capture game play from gaming consoles with HDMI output. I have not tested game play capture but have tested capturing the screens of Linux and Windows systems.

Overall I’m very happy with the UGREEN HDMI Video Capture Card. I do feel funny calling it a card rather than a device as it is not a card that is connected internally in the PC but that is the name given to it

It provides pass-through capability with no noticeable lag. If you play a video game it may be possible to notice a lag but in my use, I did not notice a lag when typing. It was very responsive.

The device has an attached USB C cable that cannot be removed. It does come with a USB C to USB A adapter. The only issue i have is being able to tell which port is the input and which is the output. The text is very difficult to read. You can read it if the lighting angle is just right. It would have been helpful if the text had more contrast with the color of  the case. This is a minor issue though. I would recommend the UGREEN HDMI Video Capture Card if you have thee need to capture HDMI video.
