1 / 7UGREEN 15390A HDMI to USB-C Capture Card, 1080p60
UGREEN 15390A HDMI to USB C Video Capture Card with 4K Passthrough captures video at up to 1080p60 over USB-C and sends a separate HDMI signal to a display. It suits streaming and recording setups that need an HDMI input, audio jacks and loop-out, but the HDMI passthrough and USB capture outputs have different limits.
At a glance
- USB-C capture is specified up to 1080p at 60Hz, while HDMI loop-out supports selected 4K formats.
- 3.5mm audio input and output are provided for audio devices such as a microphone and headphones.
- The manufacturer describes it as driver-free and compatible with streaming software including OBS Studio.
- The stated kit includes a 2-in-1 USB-C cable and an HDMI cable.

Pros and cons
Pros
- 1080p60 capture and HDMI loop-out allow recording or streaming while sending video to a separate display.
- Audio input and output jacks provide a direct way to connect audio equipment.
- The included cables reduce the need to source those two cable types separately.
Cons
- USB capture is limited to a maximum of 1080p60, so this is not a 4K capture device.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing describes 4K passthrough inconsistently: one claim says 4K@60Hz(4:2:0) and 4K@30Hz(4:4:4), while another calls it 4K@30Hz. The maximum 1080p60 claim applies to USB capture, not HDMI output. Compatibility claims also conflict: an earlier device list names TV sticks and iPad, while detailed notes exclude HDCP-protected TV-stick content and iOS. Check the source signal, device operating system and required resolution before buying. A streaming app or platform is required for capture and recording. The listed 298.4-gram weight may warrant checking if portability matters.

Customer feedback reports easy setup and compatibility, with some customers describing little lag and others reporting freezes during streams. Views on video quality, recording, latency and audio are mixed or negative. This matters for a capture device specified for 1080p60: the resolution claim does not guarantee consistent results in a particular setup, so buyers sensitive to freezes or audio quality should weigh those reports.
Positive themes
- Customers report easy setup and compatibility.
Negative themes
- Some customers report stream freezing, and audio quality receives negative feedback.
Mixed feedback
- Customers differ on video quality and recording performance. Latency reports are mixed, ranging from very little lag to freezing during streams.
