Using CHD201, you can record and stream video from a game console with HDMI output. Also, if you connect a single-lens reflex camera that supports HDMI output to a PC, you can also take "selfies" during a video conferences. When this unit is connected to a PC via USB, it is also recognized as a Web camera, so it supports general streaming software such as OBS, ZOOM, Microsoft Teams, Skype, Google Hangouts, etc.
  The CHD302 is a high-end model that supports USB3.0 connection and is equipped with the essential "HDMI pass-through" function for game streaming. You can play your game without delay while watching on an external monitor instead of the PC monitor. This feature is especially recommended for live action games and FPS games.

  The top-end model, the CHD312, is equipped with USB 3.0 connection and HDMI pass-through. It uses a silver metal housing that provides a high-class feel and excellent durability. Even though it has a pass-through function, the delay during capture is reduced to a level where it is no longer a bother. We pursued a feeling of luxury and top performance, all for the price of 9,980 yen excluding tax.
