Two HDMI sources, one button, straight into your laptop
A 2-source HDMI capture card that lets one person switch between two HDMI feeds and capture the chosen one to a computer over USB at up to 1080p.
Ideal for a simple two-camera live stream or recording without a big production rig.
This is a compact HDMI video capture card with a built-in input switch. It has two HDMI inputs and a single USB output that plugs into a laptop or PC.
You connect two sources, such as two cameras, a camera and a slide laptop, or a camera and a console, and press the front-panel button to choose which input is live.
Only the selected feed is sent to the computer, so one operator can cut between the two sources on the fly during a stream or recording.
The card captures the selected HDMI feed to the computer at up to 1080p, and it is recognised as a standard webcam and audio device on Windows and macOS.
That means popular software such as OBS, Zoom, Teams and YouTube Live pick it up with no extra drivers to install. It is powered by the USB cable to your laptop, so there is nothing extra to plug in.
It is a budget, single-operator tool built for straightforward two-source work rather than a full multi-camera production switcher, which keeps it simple to set up and easy to run on the day.
Why Choose This Product
- Two inputs, live switching: two HDMI sources stay connected and you cut between them with one button, so a single operator handles a two-source show.
- Straight into a laptop: captures over USB to a computer as a plug-and-play device, no capture drivers to chase.
- Works with the tools you use: shows up in OBS, Zoom, Teams and YouTube Live on Windows and macOS.
- Bus-powered and portable: one USB cable powers it and carries the feed, so it is quick to set up and light to carry.
- Budget-friendly: an affordable way to add a second source to a stream when a full switcher is more than you need.
How Can You Use This
- Switch between two cameras: feed two cameras in and cut between wide and close-up shots live during a talk or performance.
- Run a simple two-source live stream: stream to YouTube, Facebook or Zoom with a second angle or source you can switch to on cue.
- Capture a switched feed to a laptop: record the chosen source straight into OBS or your editing software for later use.
- Show a camera and slides together: put a presenter camera on one input and a slide laptop on the other, and switch between them during a webinar or class.
- Two-camera podcasts and demos: cut between hosts, or between a face camera and a product-demo camera, with one operator.
