High-Fidelity HDMI to Web Connectivity

The Datavideo CAP-2 is a reliable, professional bridge designed to bring high-quality HDMI video into your computer workflow. Whether you are using a pro-grade camera, a video switcher, or a media deck, the CAP-2 captures uncompressed video with audio for seamless recording, editing, and live streaming. Supporting resolutions up to 1080p60, it delivers the broadcast-standard clarity required for modern video conferencing and high-stakes digital content creation.

Efficient Monitoring and Dual-Format Output

Workflow efficiency is at the core of the CAP-2. Featuring an HDMI loop-through output, it allows you to monitor your source signal in real-time on a secondary screen while the USB 3.0 interface handles the capture. The device is engineered to output both YUY2 and MJPG formats over USB 3.0 (and MJPG over USB 2.0), ensuring maximum compatibility and ultra-low latency across a wide range of hardware configurations.

Integrated Audio Flexibility

Sound quality is paramount in professional streaming. The CAP-2 provides a dedicated 3.5mm stereo input port, allowing you to inject external analog audio—such as a feed from a dedicated microphone or an audio mixer—directly into your digital stream. A physical toggle switch on the chassis gives you immediate, tactile control to select between the embedded HDMI audio or the external analog source, providing a versatile audio solution for any live scenario.

Universal Compatibility and Rugged Build

Designed for the mobile professional, the CAP-2 is compact, rugged, and requires no driver installation on modern Windows, macOS, or Linux systems. It is the perfect tool for transforming a DSLR or mirrorless camera into a high-end webcam for Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams. While it utilizes a robust USB Type-A connection, it is easily adaptable to modern USB-C laptops, making it a "set-and-forget" staple for any portable production kit.
