What I've Been Waiting For

Finally, a simple plug-and-play device that allows me to run my PS5 on macOS! The resolution at 4K 60fps is brilliant, with no lag, and it feels like it's running on the native monitor. I can't wait for the next model that hopefully supports 4K 120fps.

Genki

You need to add ShadowCast 2 Pro as a sound source in your app. For apps like OBS just select Audio Input and choose ShadowCast 2 Pro and you can customize those audio settings separately from the video.

It just works

Works perfectly. Great to play games on the Steam Deck on my MacBook's own screen via OBS fullscreen projector or with my external ASUS monitor. I use it both for streaming and playing on my own. No complaints. Everything you need is here for it to just work.

BOTTOM LINE:1. I recommend this Human Things Genki ShadowCast 2 Pro.2. The current price of ~$160 is too high.LIKES:- Works with my 4k at 60Hz.- Well made, and durable.- Visual indicator on the front so I remember that I'm recording.- Works with open source apps. No proprietary app needed.DISLIKES:- None.
