How to choose FEBON UVC HDMI capture card?

USB2.0 FEBON168 UVC HDMI GRABBER CARD	USB3.0 FEBON178 UVC HDMI GRABBER CARD (PCBA only)	USB3.0 FEOBN198 UVC HDMI GRABBER CARD	USB3.0 FEBON169 UVC HDMI Grabber card

There are many parameter characteristic for your choice as below

Price , video latency,  output resolution and frame rate,  video scaler distortion , Power , dimension size,  USB3.0 compatible. ...


Video scaler distortion:

we wish the video do not have any distortion.

But, the hdmi have many kind of resolution and UVC output also have many kind of resolution.

Some software can not choose the uvc output resolution.  

if we do not add the video scaler ic , it do not easy to use

because hdmi input resolution/ frame rate must be equal the UVC output resolution and frame rate

for example:

hdmi source: 1920x1080p 60fps

uvc hdmi capture card have  1920x1080p , 1280x720p  , 720x480p uvc output.

SKYPE always get  1280x720p uvc

For this case,  hdmi input  do not equal uvc output.

if we do not add the video scaler ic,  it do not have any video.


After add the video scaler ic , it become the Independence between  HDMI INPUT and UVC output.


But, it will occur the video scaler distortion

it is a trade off  !!

FEBON HDMI to HDMI scaler convert box ( convert all resolution & frame rate into 1920x1080p 60fps)

FEBON HDMI to HDMI convert box can let all of hdmi input resolution &frame rate become single one resolution output

it is hdmi 1080i to 1080p (i to p ) converter box

interlace to progressive converter adapter

Two main function

1.HDMI TO HDMI  Resolution& frame frame rate convert function 

2. HDMI Resolution and frame rate test and detect 

USB3.0 FEBON198 UVC HDMI GRABBER CARD for windows / mac lives stream application.

USB3.0 FEBON198 UVC HDMI capture card have many use limitation  as below

 

1.  OS must be Windows 8.1  or MA OSX

    it can not work on  Windows 7, xp, ....


2. USB3.0 must be  XHCI

   it can not work on  eHCI


3. HDMI video source must be  progressive as below

   1920x 1080p 60 /50/30/24 fps

   1366x768  60fps

   1280x720  60fps/50fps



It can work on WINDOWS 8.1 Wirecast / OBS  / Vmix     and MAC OSX  Wirecast / Sportscode


The user will meet the hdmi input resolution /frame rate do not equal  uvc output resolution / frame rate



I use the  WINDOWS VMIX  to the demo .





USB3.0 FEBON198 UVC HDMI GRABBER CARD work on Windows VMIX


1.hdmi input 1920x1080p 60fps and work on windows  VMIX


  you must choice the uvc output to be as 1920x1080p 60fps

if your uvc output is not 1920x1080p 60fps, it can not work. 

Two USB3.0 UVC capture card ( HDMI capture card / SDI capture card) work on MAC together at the same time

USB3.0 FEBON199 SDI grabber card and  USB3.0 FEBON198 HDMI grabber card work on MAC at the same time.



HDMI soure is from iPad  lightning output.

SDI source is from  HD-SDI CCTV  camera.


SDI source is  1280X720P 60FPS.

HDMI source is 1920x1080p 60fps.

Use Chromecast with USB UVC grabber card is as live video source for Google hangouts / SKYPE

Chromecast can let Android become wireless live stream and mirror to TV.


I can use  "Chromecast+ FEBON UVC hdmi grabber card" become the live video source for  Google hangouts / skype.

 By wireless chromecast mirror, Android can mirror  to MAC air  and as the Google hangouts video source

HDMI output of  chromecast have "HDCP".

if you want to use USB2.0 FEBON168 USB UVC  hdmi grabber card to let the video into your pc,

you may add the "HDCP disable" box.

After you add the " HDCP disable" box, the hdmi will be without HDCP.

USB3.0 FEBON198 UVC HDMI capture card compitble MAC SKYPE / GOOGLE Hangouts live stream.

FEBON198 USB3.0 UVC HDMI caputure card is compatible for MAC live stream  application.


It is real orignal output ( no video scale process) and almost no latency.


The video input and output is as below

1920x1080p 60 / 50 /30 /24 fps

1366x768p 60 /50 fps

1280x720p  60 / 50 fps


If you choice the 1920x1080p uvc output, it means the hdmi source must be 1920x1080p

 DO not do more video scale process.


We just want to provide you the "real orignal " HDMI source!!






we can use MAC wirecast to control the UVC ouput resolution what you want.

1. MAC SKYPE Application


This video clip will show you as below

HDMI source is iPad output and connect with USB3.0 HDMI grabber card.


we use the MAC SKYPE to communicate

ANDROID  SKYPE  call the MAC skype.

How it work on MAC skype (google hangouts, usterem....)?

If your main application is for  web video conference stream,

I strongly suggest you to use USB2.0 FEBON168 UVC HDMI grabber card.

it is very very easy to use.

Why USB3.0 FEBON198 HDMI grabber card just show "640X480 60FPS"?

Why USB3.0 FEBON198 HDMI grabber card just show "640X480 60FPS"?


It means your PC is USB2.0 or  USB3.0 that is not intel XHCI chip set.

Before you buy USB3.0 FEBON198 HDMI graber card, you must check the list

 Before you buy USB3.0 FEBON198 HDMI graber card, you must check as below


1. PC hardware and OS check!

	USB2.0 HOST CONTROLLER	USB3.0 to PCIe(Gen.2)               or thunderbolt to USB3.0	embedded USB3.0 intel XHCI IVY BRIDGE	embedded USB3.0 intel XHCI HASWELL ULT
WINDOWS XP	no work	no work	no work	no work
WINDOWS 7	no work	no work	no work	no work
WINDOWS 8	no work	ok!!!! (NOT recommend)	ok!!!! (NOT recommend)	no work
WINDOWS 8.1	ok!!!	ok!!!	ok!!! note:(bootcamp) mac air 2103 is ivy bridge	ok!!! note:(bootcamp) mac air 2014 is Haswell
MAC  OSX 10.8	no work	OK!!	OK!!	OK!!
MAC  OSX 10.9.4	no work	OK!!	OK!!	OK!!

2 . Check  USB3.0 host.

If your USB3.0 is not as below, USB3.0 FEBON198 hdmi grabber card will just show 640x480 60fps





Embedded USB3.0 host requirement

1 USB3.0 host shoud be better be intel eXensible Host Controller (INTEL XHCI)

 windows 8 /8.1

MAC OSX 

3. HDMI  VIDEO INPUT.

hdmi input 

 

1920x1080p 60/50/30/24 fps 

1366x768 60/30fps

1280x720 60/50fps  

If hdmi source is 1920X1080i , USB3.0 FEBON198 UVC HDMI grabber card CAN NOT work

uvc output

1920x1080p 60/50/30/24 fps 

1366x768 60/30fps

1280x720 60/50fps  

Due to no scaler function, 

hdmi input resolution and frame rate must be equal uvc output resolution  and frame rate. 

eg: 

When input is  1920X1080P 60FPS, your uvc output must be 1920x1080p 60fps. 

If your choice uvc output is 1920x1080p 24fps, it will no any video. 

You can use MAC wirecast to control the uvc output resolution and frame rate.

Why change firmware? How to change firmware?

How to Change the firmware?








Why change firmware?

Most of software can not choose the uvc resolution by itself.

For example: SKYPE, Google+ hangouts

We can upgrade the firmware to fix it.


SKYPE or google hangouts always get the 1280x720 uvc output.


if your hdim source is 1920x1080p, skype / google hangouts get 1280x720 resolution and it will no video.


you can change the firmware what you need by the led detect information.
