Version 2 of a widely sold and inexpensive USB2 HDMI capture device.

Differences:

  • “Coffee” colored metal casing
  • small heatsink on the MacroSilicon chip
  • PCB layout updated (additional power safety?)

They are otherwise the same. Use the same chipset.

As reported by Linux (5.4.0-40-generic on Ubuntu 20.04):

  • Manufacturer: MACROSILICON
  • idVendor=534d
  • idProduct=2109
  • bcdDevice=21.00
  • Mfr=1, Product=0, SerialNumber=0

The uvcvideo and hid-generic drivers output the following:

[2155922.389360] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device USB Video (534d:2109)
[2155922.390038] uvcvideo 1-3:1.0: Entity type for entity Processing 2 was not initialized!

As with the original it works well with OBS 25.0.8 on Ubuntu 20.04. Using an ALSA audio device seems to be best with regard to video / audio sync. Need to use “YU12” as the “Video format” to get 60fps.
