New and Improved
We love a good sequel and the ShadowCast 2 is no slouch. It builds on everything the best-selling original has and manages to maintain its itty bitty form factor.
A Significant Upgrade
If there’s one thing you can say about the ShadowCast 2 is that it seriously punches above its weight. While not as powerful as its Pro sibling, the ShadowCast 2 gets quite a significant upgrade inside including a USB 3.2 upgrade allowing you to get 10x more bandwidth.
1080p60
While the ShadowCast 2 also can input 4K60 video to support all the latest consoles, the capture quality gets a significant boost with 1080p60 - giving a clearer and smoother video feed than the previous iteration and even less latency. This means you’ll get an overall better gaming experience with less compression artifacts- and there’s a noticeable difference in performance even in games like Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.
Small and Mighty
Even with the increased power, ShadowCast 2 shares the title of the world's smallest capture card with the original. What’s the secret to keeping it so light and so small? It’s about the quality/efficiency of components and a custom-designed PCB layout that allows ShadowCast to run much cooler without bulky heatsinks like others.
Connects to Anything
Connecting ShadowCast to your camera and then to your Mac, iPad, Windows, or Linux allows you to get a live preview of your footage, way more affordable than expensive camera monitors - and more convenient too.
