Professional Streaming and Video Conferencing

The Datavideo CAP-2A is an essential bridge for transforming any professional HDMI camera into a high-end webcam or streaming source. Supporting resolutions up to UHD 4K, it allows you to bring broadcast-quality imagery into applications like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and OBS. Whether you are conducting a high-stakes corporate presentation or streaming live content to a global audience, the CAP-2A ensures your video remains crisp, uncompressed, and professional.

Flexible Monitoring and Audio Control

Efficiency is at the heart of the CAP-2A's design. It features an HDMI loop-through port, allowing you to feed your camera signal to a local monitor so you can see exactly what you are doing without any delay. For audio flexibility, the unit includes a physical switch to toggle between the digital audio coming through your HDMI cable and an external analog source via the 3.5mm stereo jack—ideal for adding a dedicated lavalier or shotgun microphone to your setup.

Universal OS and Software Support

The CAP-2A is engineered for maximum compatibility across all major platforms. It works natively with Windows (supporting Xsplit, Potplayer, and TeamViewer), macOS, and Linux. Because it adheres to UVC (USB Video Class) standards, there is no need to install cumbersome drivers. This makes it a "set-and-forget" solution for video editors, live streamers, and IT professionals who need reliable video ingest across different hardware environments.

Compact and Field-Ready

Designed for the mobile professional, the CAP-2A features a rugged yet compact housing that fits easily into a gear bag. Since it draws power directly from the USB-C 3.2 port, it minimizes cable clutter and is perfect for use with laptops in the field. Its durable construction and consistent performance make it a staple for remote production kits, allowing for high-quality video capture wherever your production takes you.
