Does the XR1 actually do the video compression or does XR1 simply pass through the uncompressed HDMI video to the computer, and the computer does the compression compression?

Wanna see one in person

Post deleted. Problem fixed.

USB-C that's interesting! As a Content Creator, We're always looking for a better way to accomplish a task. USB 3 was flaky. The 1st USB 3 chips could not handle the throughput and would disconnect. I remember the 1st Camlinks were atrocious! Still have one sitting on the shelf. Those Devices would take the output of a single Camera but would not take the output from our Video Switch! Junk!
 
Not everyone will have the Bandwidth, Upload speed to Live Stream 1080 / 60 whereas 1080 / 30 they can. if not that, then 720. We use 1080i / 59.94 Broadcast and 1080i / 29.97. The Frame Rate really matters for sharp, crisp video!
 
I can see the potential for Clients with this Capture Device on newer Computers. Requirement: USB-C! Smart! Working with a different Chipset on the Motherboard, designed for sustained throughput in mind not just burst mode!
 
 
We expect the Streaming Device to take whatever we send and down convert for YouTube. We use 4 Canon SDI Cameras and 3 HDMI Computers for our Channel Production. We'll take the Feed from our Blackmagic ATEM 2 M/E Production Studio 4K Video switch, routed to the HyperDeck Studio Pro 2 SSD Recorder, then out to the Input HDMI of the Capture Device then to the Computer through USB-C! Smart choice! This should be fun! Eager to see the potential! The software will be the key to see if this is an all inclusive Device or just a Streaming Device requiring something else. 1 - If it works and 2 if it's stable. 
 
This will make a good Video! If this thing works, get ready for the Sales! We'll all know soon enough!

Can I capture BIOS screen of PC with this capture Device?

So it is HDMI 2.0 then?

Whats the general thought? is it really worth having it?

Yep they got me I didn't realize this was for as counsel capture. Waisted my money here. I really was wanting to use this PC to PC but as of now this will become and box on the shelf with product in it never to use.
 
Well maybe I can talk my son into using it who knows......................

 
I use this for a dual PC stream setup... It's not just for consoles.

I'm confused. I have my PC connected to my monitor via DP cable to for 1440p 144hz. XR1 need to be connected to monitor via HDMI. Pc sees XR1 as a 2nd monitor. I'm using this single PC for gaming and want to steam using the XR1 on the same PC. My LG monitor is set as primary and XR1 is secondary monitor in the nvidia control panel. Everything is setup in OBS and I can see the webcam feed and desktop (of second monitor which is this XR1) in the OBS preview window. But when I launch a game it is it displayed on primary monitor and doesn't show it in OBS preview. Only way I get a game to capture in the OBS is if I clone the second monitor XR1 to Primary but now I'm stuck with 1080p. How do I keep resolution to native 1440p 144hz and stream in 1080p? Or do I need a second PC as a streaming PC??
