NZXT announces proprietary capture cards for HD and 4K streaming

Manufacturer NZXT announces two capture cards. These are the Signal 4K30 and the Signal HD60. As the product names suggest, the Signal 4K30 can record in 4k and 30 frames per second. For the Signal HD60, that is 1080p at 60 frames per second.

The Signal 4K30 and Signal HD60 have the same housing and connections. There are two HDMI ports and a USB Type-C port on the back of the capture cards. The difference is therefore mainly in the video quality and that is also noticeable in the price. The Signal 4K30 costs 180 euros where the Signal HD60 costs 140 euros.

For the additional cost of the Signal 4K30, you can record and stream images in 4k resolution. That is possible with 30 frames per second and HDR. You can also choose to record in 1440p. Then the number of frames per second can be up to 144. If you lower the resolution to 1080p, recordings of 240 frames per second are possible.

The Signal HD60 can record in 1080p at 60 frames per second as standard. According to NZXT, the capture cards are compatible with OBS, Streamlabs and other mainstream streaming software. The manufacturer also releases a chat cable with the capture cards, which allows you to simply listen to the audio from your console on your headset while streaming and stream at the same time.

NZXT is mainly known for its cases and other PC components. The manufacturer has recently also focused more on its own peripherals. For example, NZXT launched its own gaming keyboard and mouse earlier this year.
