EVGA Xr1 Capture Device, Certified For Obs, Usb 3.0, 4K Pass Through, Argb, Audio Mixer

Product Information

If desired, a 4-pin TRRS style headset can be connected to the XR1, though we found a USB microphone connected directly to the PC works just as well without losing sync in this configuration. Solid red light indicates no source found, HDCP Protected, Scaling not supported, and update failure. It can pass through video at 60 FPS at up to 4K resolution, while simultaneously capturing at 1080p60, which is what you want for streaming to services like Twitch. Once installed, we recommend utilizing the keyboard shortcuts to toggle between systems rather than letting the mouse wrap at the screen edge.

While the XR1 Lite has more latency, especially with its processing of audio, the image processing is very similar to that of an HD60S. Where it really counts, the XR1 delivers, with great-looking video and high-quality sound backed by easy, reliable operation.The EVGA XR1 Lite doesn’t have an official maximum bitrate, but 40,000kbps seems to work with absolutely no issues. As such, it works in a true plug-and-play fashion, completely driverless regardless of the platform (Windows, macOS, or Linux). Reproduction in whole or in part, in any form or medium, without express written permission of Hot Hardware, Inc.

This is thanks to Cam Link’s USB Video Class (UVC) driver support, and you might be surprised to learn that the XR1 also supports UVC. To go with the dial there's a headphone-out/microphone-in jack as well as an input for party chat linked from a controller. device is capable of 1080/60 capture, 4K/60 passthrough, and, of some interest, an “advanced pass through mode” supporting high refresh rate displays. We played with graphics settings on the Medium preset for the best balance of appearance while conserving system resources for encoding. The entire point of me upgrading to this card was for smoother and crisper visuals as well as being able to play games straight off my PC.The whole setup was flawless, with the only real settings being adjusted on the PlayStation 5 itself rather than in OBS. Not only does this ensure you can hear everything, but it makes sure if you want to stream your party chat as well, you can easily from any console. I could simply play my games off the OBS feed rather than look at the monitor itself, a test that the EVGA card passed with flying colors. The x264 Medium preset shows some minor regressions from the Fast preset as our Intel Core i7-8700K reaches its limits. I also appreciate that the capture into OBS is instantaneous, versus having to deal with a monitoring delay, or even go through the rigamarole to sync your camera with the delay of your capture card.
