AliexpressThe UGREEN CM726 HDMI Capture Card is a single-input capture device for sending an HDMI source to a computer while optionally passing the signal through to a monitor. This selected CM726/25773 variant has an integral USB-A host connection with a USB-C adapter, making it suitable for a compatible recording or streaming setup. It is a capture card, not a laptop USB-to-HDMI output adapter or a standalone recorder.
How the connection works
Connect the source to HDMI IN, connect an optional display to HDMI OUT, and connect the host USB connection to a computer. A compatible capture application, such as OBS Studio, is required. The loop-out arrangement can be useful when fast gameplay is viewed on an external monitor rather than relying on software preview. HDMI cables for the source and external display are separate; the USB host lead is attached to the capture card.

Compatibility and setup checks
- Confirm the computer and application support the device. Documented systems include Windows 8.1/10/11, macOS, Linux, Android 5+, and iPadOS 17+ with suitable capture software and USB host capability.
- Choose the matching resolution, frame rate, and audio device in the capture application.
- For a camera, confirm a compatible HDMI cable and clean HDMI output.
- For Nintendo Switch use, plan on a compatible HDMI dock or adapter rather than direct handheld USB-C capture.
Practical limitations
This device does not capture HDCP-protected content, and the supplied product information excludes 3D and HDR. It should not be treated as a 4K recording, 4K60 HDR, VRR, zero-latency, or high-end multichannel production solution. Actual results depend on the source, display, host, cables, and application. The manual excludes iPhone support, so a USB-C connector alone does not establish iPhone compatibility.
Package and buying checks
The manufacturer package is described as one capture device, a user manual, and an OBS Studio Quick Start Guide. A camera, console, monitor, microphone, computer, and HDMI cable are not included in that stated package. Before buying, verify the exact CM726/25773 variant, the host connector you need, your source's HDMI output behavior, and whether your preferred capture application supports the device.
