Remote Control Diagram & Explanation

VERY IMPORTANT

Many HDMI video sources are encrypted with content protection called “HDCP,” even if the content is not copyrighted. Complying with laws, the HD Capture Box Ultimate does not disable or override content protection.

Therefore, if you simply plug in a content-protected HDMI video source to the HD Capture Box Ultimate, it will not detect a signal or allow you to record/stream. This does NOT mean the device is defective. This simply means that this device complies with federal law and does not record from content protected video sources. For gaming systems and cameras, you may be able to turn off HDCP in your system/camera’s settings.

FOR RECORDING 1080P/720P: There are low-cost HDMI splitters available that disable “HDCP.” Passing a 1080P/720P HDMI signal “through” either of these splitters first, HDCP sources could be recorded or streamed. (NOTE: This will only work for 4K devices if your video source is “backwards compatible” and can output 1080P/720P instead.)

Important Disclaimer: We are NOT recommending or condoning the use of HDMI splitters, or recommending that you record content-protected HDMI video sources. We are simply saying that an HDMI splitter makes it theoretically possible, but this information is solely for educational purposes. You are legally responsible for your own use of HDMI splitters. with this device. Please follow all the copyright laws in your country.

Troubleshooting (FAQ’s)

1. My video doesn’t show up on the LCD / the LCD is black.
   First, see the important notice on page #6 (HDMI sources only).
   Please make sure the HDMI or AV source input is connected properly.
   Make sure the “Video Source” setting in the device menu is set correctly.
   Make sure your HDMI cable is plugged into the “IN” port (the third port from the left), not the “OUT” port.

2. I made a recording, and when I plug in my USB/MicroSD drive to my computer, the file is corrupted or missing.
   A) If you recorded in the H.265 codec, you will need an H.265 codec on your computer. (Otherwise, your computer will say the files are corrupted.) To play these files, download the free “VLC” video player from:
   www.VideoLAN.org
   B) If this does not correct the issue, we recommend starting with a new, unused USB 3.0/microUSB drive that is “SanDisk” brand and 128GB or less. USB Hard Drives should be 4TB or less and “USB 3.0.”

3. My MicroSD card or USB drive isn’t recognized by the device.
   Please try another SD card or USB drive. We recommend using a fresh microSD card or USB drive that has not been used in other devices before.

4. The device is frozen.
   Hold down the power button for a full 10 seconds to shut down the device.

5. My device prompted me to format my USB/SD card, so I did. Now my Mac won’t read the drive.
   Please format your USB/SD card on your Mac first, and then insert it into your HD Video Capture Box. Follow the procedure on the next page.
   Here’s how to format your USB/SD card on your Mac…
   

6. In Finder, navigate to Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility.

7. On the left, click on your USB/SD drive.

8. Click the “Erase” button.

9. Next to “Format,” select MS-DOS FAT32.

10. Click “Format/Erase.”
    Remove the USB/SD card and insert it into your HD Video Capture Box.

11. The device isn’t recording.
    First, see the important notice on page #6 (HDMI sources only).
    Please make sure the proper source input is selected. (See FAQ #1) Please make sure a storage device (USB drive or SD card) is inserted.

12. No sound from my headset/microphone and/or the device speaker.
    Please make sure the volume is unmuted (Press the volume up button). Make sure your headset volume is properly adjusted. Make sure your headset is a 3.5mm CTIA type as shown in the diagram on the right.

13. My recordings don’t show up on my PC or Mac when I plug in the device by USB.
    With your SD card or USB drive inserted, connect the HD Video Capture Device to your PC or Mac using a micro USB cable. Make sure you select “PC Storage Mode” on the device.

14. Live streaming to PC doesn’t work.
    Make sure you select “PC Streaming Mode” under USB Mode. Please make sure you can see U”HD4K UVC Camera” and “UHD4K UAC Audio” as devices in your PC’s “Device Manager”. Make sure these devices are selected as Video/Audio input in your OBS streaming software.

15. The device isn’t working with an external USB hard drive.
    Since USB hard drives will consume more power than USB flash drives, the embedded battery of the HD Video Capture Box may not provide enough power. Thus, please connect the HD Video Capture Box to the power adapter before connecting the USB hard drive. If the hard drive came with a power adapter, please make sure it is plugged in separately.

16. When live streaming or recording directly to the PC, the audio/video is not synchronized.
    The PC streamlining/direct recording feature is very resource heavy. In other words, you may need a faster PC with a better graphics card to use this feature, such as a gaming PC.

17. The audio and video seems to be out of sync on the device screen.
    The recorded files should not have this issue. Please play back the recorded files on a PC or output to an HDMI device in Playback mode.
    If your files still have this issue, please try a new USB 3.0 flash drive (128 GB or smaller). We recommend “SanDisk” brand drives.

18. The recorded files don’t play back smoothly on my PC or Mac.
    The recorded files may be very large in size. Try playing them back on a PC or Mac with a better CPU and graphics card.

19. I have a question that isn’t listed here, or need further support.
    No problem! Please email us at support@clearclick.tech with your order number, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
