UltraStudio Express Recorder 3G is a pocket-sized capture solution that lets you bring broadcast quality video straight into your laptop or desktop. Connecting via a single USB-C port with a 40Gbps signalling rate, it works with any Mac, Windows or Linux machine that has a USB4 or Thunderbolt connection — no internal card or bulky breakout box required.
