Overall great product for streaming or recording. It has a nice look, isn't too big, and stays in place even with cables plugged into it.
I'm going to give a description with how this works and then a short review of my experience.

The way to describe how this works is you plug the HDMI cable from your computer to the "in" slot. The PC will now recognize this new "screen" and start sending images to it (whether that be a duplicated desktop or an extended one etc...). Then the "out" slot plugs in from this hardware, into your screen you want to use. In this way it acts as a passthrough for the HDMI, capturing it in the process. From there you plug the USB cable to the PC that does the recording or streaming and that's where it does the work and saves the files. Simple (but hard to find info/videos of physically).

This all worked great and advertised... except I have a 4k monitor. When it stated 1080 at 60fps i assumed this was how much it was able to send to the streaming PC but it's also all that it is able to "passthrough" to your monitor. Therefore when you get the image on your monitor its a blown up 1080 on a 4k screen(aka blurry and odd looking). But when it comes down to it, they advertised 1080 and delivered it so I can't be too critical.

So here is the work around for those of you with 4k screens. Plug the PC into your AverMedia but don't plug that into the monitor. Instead plug in the monitor directly into your PC as well and it will see 2 screens now. From here, duplicate the screens and now the AverMedia device is getting the stream and you don't have to plug in the "out" HDMI. If for some reason this is not a good option, or you have other screens as well and don't want to duplicate, then try the next.

This is simple as well but requires you to spend money. Essentially what you're going to have to do is find an HDMI splitter capable of splitting one 4K input into two 4K outputs (I found one on Amazon for  ~$25). Now plug the PC into the splitter (which outputs 2 duplicate displays without the PC seeing 2 screens), then plug one output to the monitor and one to your AverMedia and use like normal. The only issue now is spending the money and also it sucks having more cables and more adapters.

Both of those will allow the continued use of a 4K monitor without losing the resolution. This review was intended mostly as help for those people wondering if/how it works with a 4k monitor. I will update as I continue to use it and see how it works over time. Worked as advertised but still would have liked to see the 4k passthrough.
