Does the Plugable USB NIX Capture Card Support Refresh Rates Higher Than 60Hz?

Applicable To

  • Plugable USB NIX Capture Card
  • HDMI source devices and displays that support resolutions or refresh rates above 1920x1080 @ 60Hz

No. The NIX Capture Card supports a maximum input and output resolution of 1920x1080 @ 60Hz. Even if your display and devices support higher refresh rates, those rates won't work through the NIX, so set your source device to 1920x1080 @ 60Hz or lower.

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Open the video or display settings on your source device (console, PC, or camera).
  2. Set the output resolution to 1920x1080 or lower.
  3. Set the refresh rate to 60Hz or lower.
  4. Save or apply the new settings.
  5. Open your capture software to view the video feed.

Expected Result

Your source device outputs at 1920x1080 @ 60Hz or lower, and video appears both in your capture software and on any display connected to the NIX's HDMI output.

If the Issue Persists

  • Unplug and reconnect the HDMI cables and the USB cable connected to the NIX Capture Card.
  • Restart your source device and your capture software.
  • If you need a refresh rate higher than 60Hz on your display, connect the display directly to your source device instead of through the NIX.
  • If you still see no video, contact Plugable Support for further help.
