First instinct: I want!
Second thought: Who can stream 4K HDR fluently these days? Or who uploads such material to youtube? Not sure this has many practical applications (yet).

^^Well only recently on my TV anyway there was a update that allowed HDR to now work on the Youtube app, and there are more that i thought there would be.

Blah that price though, $100 more than the last capture card I got. But this is precisely what I've been looking for. I can't even use windows built in game recorder in hdr because it washes all the colors out when playing the file back. I wish it said which hdr types it supports though. Does it support dolby vision, hlg, hdr10+ etc

Muhahahah, SOLD, NOT. 😀

Good luck getting viewers streaming 4K @ 24000 Bitrate ^^

Does youtube even allow HDR yet? or maybe just no one uploads with it so i never see it XD

^^Does HDR even work right on W10, i know when i switch on HDR on W10 my TV pops up and states HDR is active, and all the HDR settings are active, but yt videos just don't look right, same with the desktop, i have no idea if that means i have to go into settings and calibrate it or something, and at present i am simply to lazy to do that, so i just leave it off. lol
And yes, there are plenty of 4k HDR videos....DF pump them out quite regular now as do a few other channels....of course unless you are watching on a 4k HDR device you won't see anything, and at present the only device that i have that works is the YT app TV app on my 55in 4k HDR TV, but HDR YT on the XBX and Pro do not work at all, and on my PC as i said, hdr looks all grey and horrible when it is turned on.

I am also curious about the proper implementation of getting hdr to display how it’s intended. Originally everyone was messing with the Nvidia CP in order to get it to work basically at all, and since the latest win 10 update from what I can gather (which is basically nothing) is that now switching the slider to enable hdr in win10 does everything for you and there is no longer a need to mess with it in the NVIDIA CP. my colors look fine when I do this I’m just wondering if it’s actually using 10bit or 8bit as I have a 10bit panel. Playing Destiny 2 on pc enabling hdr seems to be working properly

Works fine if i load these videos on Edge or Chrome, not firefox.
Best to manually set the setting for 12bit before turning on HDR

This isn't really meant to record PC gaming. Try using OBS and configuring it properly to use GPU encoding. Most versions of this capture card don't seem to perform encoding on their own and that's why they need a recent graphics card.

I use OBS, my only issue is trying to find something that captures HDR properly. I feel I already over-payed for my Ripsaw, this is $100 more than I paid for that. I wouldn't purchase this as I don't actually make any revenue off of capturing so at this price its not worth it to me

Ok i will give that try, cheers. 😉

Could somebody enlighten me, what is a purpose of this device? According to news, it is not capable of 4K hardware encoding, so what is the difference between this and a software recording with, lets say, afterburner?

I agree with you there. I only know of one YouTuber that live streams @4K and you need alot of bandwidth just to do that. Not sure of HDR though.
