Good evening.
I am on the hunt for an OBS/Stremlabs-compatible capture card that I am able to run on my MacOS Monterey 12.2.1 build (yeah, I still need to system update).
.
I am currently using a small USB-Capture Stick that I got on Amazon, and it's able to output in 720, but not 1080 @ 60fps. Although advertised to support 1080, it will intermittently cut out and go black, while recording in 1080, with all settings set to 1080, let alone streaming. It will also cut out if I set it to 720 but have my monitor or console set to anything different.
.
I know Elgato is a popular brand, but their HD60S and Pros still only seem to be compatible with MacOS if you use their integrated software - meaning not compatible with OBS or Streamlabs, unless I want to window-capture. (=___=) Which is inefficient. Does anyone know if any of their other cards can be directly run through OBS or Streamlabs software? Or if they /all/ have to be streamed directly through their Elgato software?
.
I remember doing some research /years/ ago, trying to find another brand that may output the same quality, without having to thread through any brand-specific software. I seem to remember the brand "Magewell" coming up, but need to look back into it. That was so long ago.
.
If anyone has any more information, experience or recommendations on this, that'd be cool.
.
Thank you sincerely~
