Troubleshooting & Technical Notes
- Latency: Ensure USB 3.0 compatibility across the chain. For USB 2.0 cards, MJPEG format is recommended (limited to 1080p30/50fps).
- HDCP Conflicts: Gaming consoles (e.g., PS4/PS5) may display a black screen if HDCP is enabled. This must be disabled in the console's system settings.
- Connectivity: If the device fails to recognize the capture card, verify OTG support or restart the system to clear hardware handshake errors.
