    The Greatest Capture Card that Never Could.

    The Greatest Capture Card that Never Could.
    I was excited to try this capture card as I was needing to replace my Blackmagic Ultrastudio Extreme, as my MacBook Pro late 2013 is starting to struggle bus as a dedicated streaming machine , and my Blackmagic card is thunderbolt 2 and I cannot plug it into my windows gaming laptop Asus GL502vt. I saw it was on sale for and decided to pull the trigger as well hey why not it was 134 dollars It will get me by tell I can find a solution for my steaming pc.Boy was I wrong.... Mind you I have been streaming off and on for years so I am no stranger to setting up OBS/ SLOBS/ Wirecast /Vmix and so forth. However this device hates to work, plugged in the device , installed the razer software , rebooted for good measure, fired up OBS Backscreen. Ok not a big deal, for the next 7 hours I attempted to get this thing to work, lucky I still have my old MacBook so I plugged it into the device as a secondary display since it kept trying to detect my TV as a 4k TV even though it is 1080p unlike other devices you cannot force set resolutions as its auto resolution detection is bad. Could not get a Signal, I tried every usb port on my laptop since the device comes with a usb-c to usb type a adapter I tested all my usb 3.0 ports the device would install , I can get passthrough however it just black screens no matter what.Fast Forward 7 hours later of uninstall re install reboot reading tech support forums , I finally got it to work once, then turned off the machine and back on and it went to a black screen again.... Not fun, so I decided to uninstall the Razer Software mind you the software even though they say keeps the drivers up to date, and provides you the latest firmware, there is none available and only updates the software so unless they package deliver firmware inside the synapse software for it, I do not even see a button for firmware update nor does it even list what firmware is installed on the device. HOWEVER removing the device + uninstalling the razer software and rebooting and letting windows find the device and install it then IGNROING the razer software makes the device actually work, somewhat, it still has issues from time to time getting a signal so I have to uninstall it reboot re install and it will work again.Now here is the thing, audio was easy to get in as you just have to add the proper audio input source like you do with your mic, easy peasy, when it does work THIS Device is pretty good, color reproduction is decent , audio is fine so forth. Getting it to work is a whole other beast in itself.Issues I have with the device, there is no drivers, I know that sounds funny but hear me out, the device uses the same MS usb / cam drivers that every other device has used since 2006 (driver tested it with razer synapse installed and not installed.) , it is identically the same Microsoft driver dated 6/21/2006 , actually on further inspection I attached a photo it uses the same driver that my usb 2.0 webcam that is embedded into my laptop. When I say Identical its down to the same driver revision . Normally this would not be a problem however the device is highly unusable in its current state, and honestly I do not see razer updating it anytime soon.. Which is sad because when it works it works well , if you can ever get it to work at all.
    Thank you for your feedback

    Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2020
    As someone who used the Razer Ripsaw V1 a lot, I noticed a large difference in the models. The V2 has better framerate capture as well as better overall resolution potential (up to 4K).

    Something to note about getting a Razer Ripsaw vs a BlackMagic Digital Intensity Shuttle is the decoding. The Razer Ripsaw can capture from Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PS4, while the BlackMagic Digital Intensity Shuttle cannot. However, Razer Ripsaw V2 only allows HDMI input, which means if you're attempting to record an older format such as Composite or Component, you will need some sort of adapter.

    The ports on the front (Mic In, and Headset Out) do not prove to be that useful. However, it is better to have the option than not have the option.

    The USB-C cable is very high quality and is of medium length such that it could stretch across your desk, but not reach underneath it easily.

    After my ancient Elgato wouldn't stop misbehaving, I went looking for a hassle-free streaming device so I could send Switch gameplay to Twitch via OBS and SLOBS (I do not want or need proprietary streaming software). Friends suggested the Ripsaw HD, which isn't the cheapest 1080p device on the market, but it was easy to set up. The USB and HDMI cables that come with this are thick and braided -- feels deluxe. The price point makes sense. (Also, check Amazon Warehouse for deals on customer returns!)

    I do recommend downloading the Razer Synapse software so the Ripsaw HD is properly recognized in Windows. Configuring audio input/output is a bit non-intuitive, but there are instructions on both Razer's site and Streamlabs's site. I plugged in an Astro A40 PC headset (green/pink analog plugs) and a Switch into the Ripsaw, sent the signal into SLOBS, and added a webcam in SLOBS. A very simple signal path and an uncluttered Scene -- it worked great. Looking forward to digging out other HDMI consoles and having a go.

    I've tried out AverMedia and Elgato capture cards, both of which left something to be desired. Specifically, consistency. If I don't unplug or change the settings in any way, I expect the capture or stream to be mostly the same as the last time I used it. This is the only capture card I've tried that does that.

    It is the only truly plug and play capture card, it's much easier to set up than the others I tried. The only thing I can complain about is that the pass-through doesn't work at all, I tried every combination imaginable and it never passed the picture through. Which is a bit of a bummer but I can still watch the video via OBS with no lag. And as I don't play games with split-second timing requirements, it doesn't bother me that much.

    I don't use a camera so I can't speak on that at all.

    In short, finally a mostly easy, reliable capture card!

    Beyond dope. I managed to get it into Zoom through vMix so that I could use my camera as a primary input.

    My thoughts...
    Pros:
    - Very small, lightweight and high-quality construction
    - Extremely simple self-installation for almost instant usability in software like OBS, Zoom, vMix etc.
    - Fantastic overall performance

    Cons:
    - Maybe small enough to get lost if you’re using it mobile
    - Not heavy enough to be used with cables that may move around
    - Audio output seems a bit on the quiet side even at full blast. Probably need an amp
    - Can be fiddly with certain hardware audio interfaces
    - Only one input (which honestly, for the price and quality you get, is excellent)
    - Max 1080p/60p (again, excellent at this price)

    If you are a content creator of any stripe, whether it's streaming to thousands of people a day or just recording video for your friends, I cannot recommend this product in any way, shape, or form.

    Issues:

    - Razer does not have their own capture software designed to work with this product. You will need to use another capture program like OBS or XSplit.

    - Passthrough doesn't work unless the unit has power, so you can't leave it in line without your computer being powered on.

    - Razer makes it sound like setup is a breeze but if you are not familiar with capture software, you are in for a bumpy ride - this is absolutely not a plug and play product for novices, despite what the instructions and marketing material suggests. I spent a solid hour and a half trying to figure out why audio was not being captured. Instead of passing audio through the device, the Ripsaw creates a virtual channel on your PC and you have to be sure to capture *that*, too. This is not covered in the included instructions. Don't understand video/audio sources in OBS? It'll probably take you a lot longer to figure that out.

    - Once you've captured the audio source, you might find the output is incredibly quiet. This is because the virtual channel defaults to about half volume in Windows 10. So you'll need to go into your audio recording sources and manually adjust the output in there too. This is not covered in the included instructions. I had to spent a half hour trawling Reddit to find that piece of troubleshooting advice.

    - You've got your audio and your video captured. Finally! It looks great! Until you record or stream anything over ten minutes. The audio and video RAPIDLY go out of sync, and no matter what settings I changed in OBS, no matter whether I recorded to an external drive or an internal M.2 drive, no matter how much I adjusted the video quality or the audio settings, the loss of sync is consistent. Occasionally the video will stutter which for live streaming is completely unacceptable. I tested this on both a high end desktop and a high end laptop and it happened every single freaking time.

    - Want to record your comms on a console? You'll need an extra mic to connect directly to the device to record your own voice, and if you have a wireless headset that is now rendered useless (at least on PS4) because the PS4 does not allow you to send your audio to your headset and through the HDMI simultaneously. You'll need to run a cable from your headset to the unit. Granted this is not entirely a Ripsaw problem, but the implementation requires more components than is provided in the unit. Prepare to shell out extra for additional devices.

    I am not in the habit of leaving negative reviews on products that frustrate me, because life is too short - but given how many people are taking up streaming and looking for an easy way to get started, I can't recommend that you go this route. You will be consistently dissatisfied and frustrated. As someone experienced with content creation, familiar with OBS, Twitch streaming AND computer literate, I spent hours of my day messing with this thing to get it even vaguely functional. If you are just starting out, go with another product. I'm just going to wait for the Elgato HD60S+ - I had a lot of success and zero issues with the HD60S and this product is a good reminder of why Elgato have become the market leaders.

    Super disappointing. I expected a lot better from Razer.

    It was a nice upgrade from my el gato hd60s. I like the 4K pass through.

    The only thing you may have to watch for is that it doesn’t like to play well with some of the broadcast software out there. I couldn’t use OBS Studio with it as it would not pick up any audio, I switched to standard OBS and it works perfectly.

    Nota la capturadora SOLO puede TRANSMITIR/GRABAR en FULL HD, pero si cuentas con un paso directo a tu monitor en una calidad de 4k hasta 60fps, lo que vienen más que bien si tienes una Series X/S o PS5, ya que no perderás calidad al momento de verla.

    Yo la compre en super rebaja por unos 90 USD, para el precio que la adquirí me parece de lo mejor.
