Standard HDMI to USB-Alternative Screen for Raspberry Pi

Note: Starting March 2024, we changed the version of the HDMI Capture Card to the wired version (grey colored) instead of the previous compact and short (black colored) capture card. All the prices and specifications are the same as the previous version.

Using Raspberry Pi will no longer be a problem for you if you don't have a monitor, or TV, or LCD display screen. This video capture card enables you to connect your Raspberry Pi to your laptop (now even your Android smartphone or tablet) and display it on your laptop screen! If you are working on a headless mode (no monitor and keyboard & mouse) with Raspberry Pi, this comes in handy. This HDMI video capture adapter will enable the Raspberry Pi to use your Laptop LCD screen, you still need a separate keyboard and mouse, though.

All you have to do is open your webcam on your laptop and switch from a front-facing camera to a USB webcam.

There you have it!

Note: This HDMI to USB video capture can only be used for Raspberry Pi display and audio. Hence, you still need a separate keyboard and mouse connected to your Raspberry Pi board.

It is meant to capture any multimedia from HDMI, but since we can utilize it for Raspberry Pi, why not, right? Here is a review from EposVox, and he uses it to capture games :)
