Just plug the ShadowCast to any HDMI Source and display it on your laptop.
This is what it looks like compared to the Nintendo Switch HDMI cable.
We designed it to basically hide inside of the Nintendo Switch Dock. And it also works with the Genki Covert Dock on the go.
Excellent product. I've dumped my $100+ USB to HDMI capture device to the storage box. But would you consider developing an app for the iPad/iPad Pro, given the chips of the iPads are so powerful and that they use USB-C as well?
I use this device to output my switch to my PC and it does work great for the price, but the only thing that I can't stand is the latency. I mainly play FPS and other games that require a quick reaction time like Borderlands, Smash and a couple of other games. I can stand playing in 1080p as I keep it a small window on my desktop and tested it on both OBS and their dedicated GENKI ARCADE app. Truthfully, the Arcade app has a little more latency than OBS. Working on the app a little more to match it with OBS would be great.
If you're on a lower budget but have a few bucks to spend to expand your streaming lineup to console games, this is a decent enough thing to use. It doesn't really do 1080p60 and there's a very slight but potentially noticeable output delay that could end up causing issues for certain fast-paced games (I do tend to feel a slight disconnect playing Tetris 99, for instance), but for most people, it shouldn't be something that's absolutely intolerable.
As a wannabe streamer who simply uses his Xbox to stream, it’s sad that I can’t stream from my Xbox with my switch. With genki, not only can I stream in Awesome quality but I can record videos for VODS. Perfect to record gameplay for a team in stuff like Pokémon Unite and Arena of valor. The perfect and cheap graphic card for those looking to get their start on streaming!
I wanted a product that I could use to be able to play my Switch on my PC, so that I didn’t need to have a separate monitor. This works great! I don’t feel any latency. The resolution isn’t perfect but who needs that if I’m playing Nintendo 64 games on Nintendo Switch Online.
