Upstream 4K game capture card with Party chat is an external device, so it is connected to the broadcast computer through USB. But it can capture content from a range of different devices, including xbox Game console and ps5. IOGEAR said that the card is compatible with broadcast software including streamlabs and xsplit. It can also record party chats between players.
Upstream 4K game capture card also has a workaround for the lens protected by HDCP (high bandwidth digital content protection). HDCP is usually used to prevent the capture card from being able to capture movies and TV programs. Some capture cards will not be able to display video when protected by HDCP, which means that if you want to take time from playing games to stream Netflix, for example, you must unplug them. IOGEAR's solution is a toggle switch that allows it to simply pass through this protected lens. You won't be able to capture it, but it's easier than unplugging your card completely.
