4k video camera signal in a patch ?

Icarart's icon

Hello,

I want to capture the 4k video signal of my camera Sony PXW-X70 in a patch.

I used blackmagic intensity shuttle before with FHD signal but it doesn't support 4k.

Anyone know what card can I use ?

Thank you
Gildas

maybe the UltraStudio 4K Mini https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/ultrastudio
I'm not 100% sure if it's supported.

Thank you LSKA for your answer, it's cool.

This card is too expensive.

There is intensity 4k pro but I search for a laptop.

If anyone as an other idea...

Thank you

Hi Icarart,
I think "elgato Cam Link 4K" ,
is the one you're looking for.
it's quite cheap, very stable, and doesn't need any software driver.

I can't say, for windows based computers,
but it works super good on all my Macs (M1, intel and also Hackintosh).

Hi Joumik
Thank you.

As it's written here, 4k isn't supported for my camera Sony PXW-X70

Hello everybody,

I confirm, with jit.grab in Max, that the capture on windows 11 of the UHD 4K signal (3840x2160 - 30FPS) via the HDMI output of the Sony PXW-X70 camera works with the acquisition card
Live Streamer CAP 4K - BU113

I take the source in avermedia software (AVerMedia CamEngine) then jit.grab recognize the virtual camera of the software.
Jit.grab doesn't take directly the signal.
It's also possible to use OBS (with spout output), or Nvidia broadcast to send the 4K signal in jit.grab


First I tried with AVerMedia Live Gamer Ultra GC553 and it works with OBS and Nvidia broadcast.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my original post.
Have fun.
