Works with a Nikon D7500
This does work with a Nikon D7500. I use it with OBS and an Azden SMX-30 mic to livestream to Facebook and get excellent audio and video. By recording to a laptop instead of the camera I can exceed the 30 minute limit Nikon imposes on recording!

Works as intended with Sony a6100 on Macbook m3 max
I used a Sony a6100 with a Camlink 4K on my PC for years, and it worked without any issues.After switching to a MacBook M3 Max for work and connecting this setup to a dock station, the Camlink 4K started having issues with flickering, occasional green frames, and an overall unpleasant experience. It only worked properly when directly attached to the MacBook.I decided to try this capture card, which works perfectly through the dock station - no freezes or flickering.

Great card in itself, but it saved my Elgato from the trash.
I originally got this card because I thought that the Elgato HD60 S wasn't going to work with my PC.What this card did in how it was just the simplest plug-and-play job ever was show me what my real problem was.I was using the USB ports on my case, and testing the AverMedia out through them with some sample recordings. I noticed a horrible amount of video/audio desynchronization and a really slow response on the capture rate through the USB 2.0 port, and a slight audio lag with near-perfect response on the USB 3.0 port.Then I plugged this little wonder that could where Elgato couldn't into one of the 3.0 ports on my motherboard. Everything was perfect.That lead me to my other test the next day.Things to know about this card:--If you read the manual, there is a light type that it will blink when it says it's updating its firmware. I highly recommend plugging this card in on Windows (with internet) for its first-time setup. Despite being a UVC card and thus usable on Linux, that's not something I was willing to test.--Yes, this card has no HDMI output passthrough, but if you'd rather not look at a TV screen while recording, do you need it? I mean, the video comes up in the capture software of your choice once you have your card set up, so really, the only way to know you got it right is when everything is working. And that's the way things should be.--This device also comes with its own capture software on their website, and if you like to have an indication of how much approximate recording time you have to play with, why not try it?

Pretty decent but not the best
Works pretty good just can't play fps games with it. Other than that it's great!

ABSOLUTE GARBAGE!
I bought this thinking it was going to be a better & cheaper option than the Cam Link 4k by Elgato but you're better off just spending your money on a more trusted brand. Atleast in my experience the cam link actually WORKS.The reason for this review is because this card does not do 1080p60 AT ALL. And if it does it's only compatible with a select few cameras/camcorders (but they won't tell you which). I even tried using the stream engine software they have for this card with OBS and it STILL gives me choppy video.The fact that Avermedia believes itself to be a legitimate competitor to Elgato is laughable when they can't even make this card do one simple thing like passthrough 1080p60 from a camcorder. Trust Elgato & no one else.

Amazing gizmo
This is an incredible piece of technology. I was encouraged by the listing saying that it was truly plug-and-play, with no need for driver software, but was also skeptical. HDMI is notoriously touchy and I have had other, similar devices that were either a hassle to get them working properly, or they didn't work in a reliable way. When I unboxed the thing, I saw that the tiny, tiny user's manual had no instructions other than showing you how to plug in the cables, something that was totally obvious anyway. Based on past experience with other devices, I was sure I would soon be logging on to their site to read the "real" manual, or hunting on Google for answers to the problem I was sure were coming. But guess what - I plugged it in and boom, worked like a charm. And the picture it delivers from the HDMI source is flawless. Great product!

This works great for external system capture, not just capture
I picked this unit up so that I could view some of my systems without a monitor. I simply plug the HDMI from the system (raspberry pi works great) into the correct port and plug it into my PC and instant video access without requiring a monitor.This allows me to view the boot and keyboard and/or mouse with a system without needing an additional monitor. It also allows me to record the screen as needed.If you want to do a headless setup for system administering and occasionally need to plug in a monitor this works great.

It does work with laptops
The included document was a bit sparse on everything other than plugging it in. I had to first plug in the device so Windows would recognize it, then start over with my live hdmi. Windows by itself would not recognize the device as a webcam, though it did recognize it for audio input. I had to go to the website and download a program they list as only being for desktops. They officially don't support laptops. I installed their software on my laptop and it worked just fine. I can now use my digital camera like a webcam which is what I wanted. I haven't tested any other software functionality. For what I want, the product is perfect. Note that with use the aluminum housing can get warm. I intend to use it on a laptop with 8 cores/ 16 threads, but I Also installed the software and found it to work (as a webcam) on a slow laptop with only 2 cores with no issues which was way below their stated minimum specs.
