What Our Customers Say
I really like this overall. It maintains a great video transfer when passing through for both XBox X and my PS4. This has been a wonderful component for my streaming platform. The recording feature has been a bit of a learning curve for me but once I figured it out, it has been awesome. I haven't found any downsides at this point, only the good!
Works great, better than I had expected. I was previously just doing captures using the Xbox Game DVR in Windows and thought that those were good looking enough. I was wrong. Comparing those to some of the captures I have done with this device at the same resolutions, it is very noticeable that the ShadowCast provides much clearer picture and more detail.
Our son has been showing interest in capturing his gaming sessions, etc so we figured we'd give this a shot. There's a bit of a learning curve for a total newbie but the plug and play nature is appreciated. Lots of instructional bits out there that help you get things set up at least!Great quality video and works well with the Xbox X for sure. Probably not the best choice for an absolute newbie but we figured we'd spend a bit more for higher quality video.
I ordered this because my elgato wasn't working well with my Mac even with all the extra plugins and such. When this came in, I plugged it in to my xbox and then into my Mac and as soon as I pulled up OBS there was the capture card right there! No additional plug ins needed. Also there is zero latency between my TV and my Monitor, it is one to one which makes it easy to game and keep and eye on my stream. I can't recommend this enough!
The Genki ShadowCast 2 Pro is pretty good but you're paying a premium for sure. This offers 4K60 capture and streaming capabilities with low latency HDMI passthrough, versatile compatibility, compact design, and user-friendly setup. I didn't have much trouble using this with the app. That said, its premium price, reliance on external storage and potential heating issues may make you pause. I'd recommended for serious streamers prioritizing high-quality capture -- and those valuing portability and ease of use. For those on a budget or those content with lower resolutions, you may want to seek out alternatives. It's fairly easy to get the hang of if you're handy with streaming devices.
