When we last wrote a blog compiling reviews of AV.io capture cards, AV.io 4K was only a month old and already getting lots of press for its impressive capabilities.

Since then, AV.io HD, AV.io SDI, and AV.io 4K have all received significant firmware upgrades, and all three capture cards have become incredibly popular for their flexibility and easy-to-use features. For your convenience, we’ve used this blog post to assemble a list of some of the reviews. Enjoy!

Jerry Berg, known online as Barnacules Nerdgasam, has more than 800,000 subscribers on YouTube. With this much enthusiasm, that’s not surprising! He first looked at both of his AV.io 4K capture cards back in November 2016, and his excitement was palpable.

He recently followed up with a great full review of the capture card, calling it “the easiest capture cards I have ever used, and by far the most capable.”

In looking for a USB 3.0 Linux capture solution, Level1Techs found that AV.io 4K was the best fit. They’ve integrated it into their setup and feel great about the near-zero latency, the ease of use, and the power of the card.

“It’s really impressive, and it has done everything we’ve thrown at it.”

Taking it apart to show the great hardware inside emphasizes the point about how solid AV.io 4K really is and how he’s looking forward to capturing some of the more unusual sources he has, such as his 4K Tegano microscope. As a knowledgeable engineer, Dave clearly gets a lot of enjoyment out of looking at the well-designed interior!

More recently, he took AV.io 4K for a 4K test drive at both 30 fps…

They talk about how both capture cards improve their setup immensely, and it’s great to hear how easy it was to get the whole setup working with the capture card.

They’ve also talked about the AV.io capture card family on the WAN show a few times while using it to stream the show itself! Great to see the cards in action!
