Questions & Answers
I use the magewell for resolume arena; the latency is similar to that of the mini recorder black magic, but it works better on a PC than it does on a Mac.
It's connected to a four-port HDMI switcher, but it's not set up for live streaming. When I change the video source, there is a brief period of black screen. This could be due to the video capture software (I use Vidblaster) rather than the Magewell device, which does not support 4k resolution.
I've connected the A6000 to a variety of computers, all of which have different chipsets, and it works flawlessly in the Windows 10 camera app. Check that this video source is selected in your app. The video quality was disappointing at first, but then I realized the laptop was using its internal camera by default. When I chose the video capture card, the difference was significant enough to justify the purchase; for extra credit, connect the A6000's USB port to the computer as well, and tweak the picture with the Sony remote app.
Yes. You can't record an HDCP-protected video. This device, as well as most HDMI capture products, can be used to protect a protected source.

The USB Male to Male cable that came with it was defective, so I had to replace it. During use, the unit becomes extremely hot. I'm going to use FLIR to check it out and put a heatsink on the hot spots to try and mitigate the problem.

Right out of the box, I was able to use the Capture Dongle. I live broadcasted a four-day event a few days later, logging over 40 hours of streaming time. The device's plug-and-play capability is excellent; however, I did locate and download a driver because the audio on USB 3 was not working. My computer had no inputs, but that didn't help the situation. In what appears to be no time at all, the device becomes extremely hot. Naturally, as the temperature rises, the system begins to slow down. The inputs are also a little loose, and it would occasionally cut out if I moved the device while using it. I had hoped for something more reliable at this price point, and I hope to find something else in the future. I was able to make it work for a high-pressure event, but it did not make my life as simple as I had hoped. PROS: br>br>

However, the sound quality is poor. My YouTube subscribers frequently ask me how to turn their camcorder into a webcam. Because most camcorders' USB connections do not support this functionality, an extra device is required.

It became extremely sensitive, and the cables had to be adjusted to be in a specific position with the proper amount of tension at a certain angle. This unit eventually ceased to function entirely. The physical USB3. Despite the fact that we probably only disconnected and reconnected it ten times during our time with it, The unit's 0 female plug had literally detached and was rattling around inside, rendering it completely useless. When I contacted Magewell support, they informed me that they could repair the product for free (excluding shipping). They issued me an RMA and provided me with shipping details- I was concerned about a large portion of it. They pointed out that the part's value could only be declared at a maximum of $10. It was very confusing because some of the wording said less than $10 and others said exactly $10. I shipped the unit to the exact address provided, declaring it exactly how they instructed with all of the paperwork they required. I started asking for updates via e-mail after not hearing from them for a week or two and giving the shippers the benefit of the doubt. mail. I did receive a response, but it was unhelpful, and they frequently referenced their (convenient) policy of the customer assuming all liability when returning products to them. Overall, it's been about two months since it stopped working and I had to send it in for service. They will not respond to e-mails about their status. If I don't get any more mail, I'll be out $300 plus the cost of shipping to China. Because the device's value was declared at only $10, I couldn't even file a claim with the carrier that would be worth my time, so I not only replaced it with something from a different manufacturer, but I'm also completely re-installing the operating system. The Magewell could have been better designed with more robust connections (especially when compared to the new one I got), according to my evaluation of the product. It was one of the few products that could actually do what I needed at the time of my initial review, so I considered the price reasonable. When you consider that competing devices are now half the price (or less), it's clear that Magewell hasn't done anything to stay competitive. While the Magewell worked, it worked well, but I'm not going to reward any company that gave me this kind of experience with future business. I'm not sure if the new device will live up to the original Magewell, but considering I could get two of those for the price of one of these, it doesn't seem like a big risk.
