4K Capture Is Now More Accessible Than Ever!

The new Magewell USB Capture 4K Plus allows you capture 4K 30p video signals over USB 3. This makes it perfect for situation where you may only need 1 4K camera or if you’re totally mobile.  It even has an inbuilt fan for cooling! The device is now featured on the vMix Supported Hardware page.
