Razer Ripsaw HD video capture box
Razer today announced the Razer Ripsaw HD, an external multi-platform video capture card with full HD capture and 4K throughput for a high definition streaming and gameplay experience.
The Razer Ripsaw HD is a compact external capture card with pro-grade features to meet the demands of broadcasters requiring high frame rate, detailed footage and crisp audio. Capturing video in Full 1080p HD at 60 frames per second, the Ripsaw HD is designed for super smooth gameplay recording and live streaming.
The Ripsaw HD features a 4K 60 FPS passthrough, allowing broadcasters to enjoy the latest ultra-high-resolution games as the developers intended, whilst sharing the gameplay with their audience with crisp 1080p Full HD resolution at super-smooth 60 frames per second.
“With the Ripsaw HD joining our extensive Broadcaster range, streamers now have a capture card ready to broadcast the latest games at high resolution and framerates from both their PC or console,” says Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder and CEO. “Viewers will love the Full HD streams, while broadcasters can enjoy their games as they were intended with the 4K pass-through.”
The Ripsaw HD is compatible with PC and console, featuring a simple HDMI input and output for video capture with a single USB 3.0 connection. With built-in audio mixing, streamers can broadcast both their game and microphone audio through the Ripsaw HD with zero latency and no synching delays. The microphone input allows streamers to use one microphone across two PCs, removing the need for complicated audio mixer or software set-ups and allowing streamers to use in-game comms whilst still broadcasting their voice audio to their stream.
With the addition of the Ripsaw HD to Razer’s range of innovative broadcasting products, which includes the Razer Kiyo, the first streamer-focused camera with built-in ring light, and the Seirẽn Elite, a broadcaster microphone with built-in noise limiter, Razer now offers a high-quality audio and video solution to suit every streamer and broadcaster, across multiple platforms.

This thing is pretty limited.
-capture only in 1080p uncompressed
-60FPS max
-no HDR
-not clear which consoles it supports, some have problems with PS3 or other consoles.
That's what I'm thinking. I have the original Ripsaw, it seems all they've done is add 4k pass through to it, other than that its the same card

Frankly, most capture card manufacturer's are doing 4k passthrough updates on their existing products. Curious if it's actually new hardware, or simply a firmware update.
Besides that, I feel like HDR is a marketing gimmick. As far as my personal TV, you have to disable 'gaming mode' to enable HDR, which supposedly runs up input latency(?).

So because you purchased without doing research an "HDR"-Ready TV it makes HDR a gimmick?
For now I still use my 2016 OLED and HDR looks great and I have HDR-Gaming mode
Normal Samsung models are the same, last years Sony OLEDS and high end LCDs are the same, they all have proper HDR and gaming mode + HDR.
Next time before you invest your money, do some search, at least open rtings.com and cnet and read some reviews, especially on www.rtings.com/tv, they have great technical guides and tons of info.
If a TV has HDR sticker doesn't mean it can Output Real HDR and that it has 10bit panel , can do at least 800nits , and if its LCD that it has some sort of VA panel, because IPS cant do proper inky black HDR unless it has FALD and even then VA wins and that a TV has Gaming HDR mode.

Thats not it, not even comparable, old cards had HDMI 1.4, so even if they add 4K passtrough its 4K/30.
This one has HDMI 2.0 allows you to game normal in 4K/60.
Also, based on 1:1 with best last gen capture card it has better PQ, less latency and better color accuracy, of course if you dont compare them 1:1 you will never know

Settle down there, Turbo.....
Apparently having an opinion is a capital offense.
Edit: Also, not going to run out and buy a new TV just because companies are hyping up pre-existing technology. My TV is 2 years old, and old enough to be on clearance when I bought it. For companies to recently start hyping HDR strikes me as a gimmick.
