What is a Video Capture-Card?<\/h2>\n

A video capture-card is a device that can be installed in a PC internally, or attach to it externally via USB. Some capture-cards are standalone devices, which means that they don\u2019t require a computer to record video. A few popular examples of video capture-cards include, the Elgato Cam Link 4K Game Capture Device<\/a>, the Elgato Game Capture 4K60 Pro MK.2 Device<\/a>, and the one that we\u2019ll be discussing in our guide. This is the all-in-one 4K HDR recorder with built-in display, known as the Atomos Ninja V<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Ninja V has an integrated 5\u201d, 1980x1080p resolution touchscreen monitor with a 4K HDMI Input. This can record internal 10-bit HDR video in Apple ProRes, ProRes RAW, Avid DNx, and H.265 (HEVC) codecs, at up to 60fps.<\/p>\n

The Ninja V captures its internal recordings using a slot on its backside. You can attach any SSD using an HDMI 2.0 input port that supports 4K HDR at up to 60fps. It also features an HDMI loop-out port, allowing you to passthrough your video signal to an external display.<\/p>\n
