I have this older laptop, 2011. Please don't dismiss it just yet, it has been a faithful Rocinante. Window 10 64bit Pro, 16GB Ram, some integrated video card, Magewell HDMI Plus adapter My camera shows in vMix ( add input / camera ) as USB Capture HDMI+ but when I add it it gives an error. I've installed the latest USB Fresco FL1000 driver, but still no luck. The adapter works fine on an USB 2.0 port, but I still feel like USB 3.0 would serve me better. So I still think that there's an incompatibility between the my old comp and the famed, paspartout, Magewell adapter, but it's vMix that gives some error. I should also mention, in all fairness, I don't see the camera in "Microsoft Windows Camera" or OBS. Maybe there's still a chance to make it happen in vMix ? What are my options ? Thanks for looking into this.  Capture01.PNG (44kb) downloaded 0 time(s). Capture02.PNG (86kb) downloaded 1 time(s). Capture03.PNG (221kb) downloaded 2 time(s).

Do you see the Magewell unit in Device Manager, and what does the Magewell USB Capture Utility report? And do you have access to any other computer with a USB3 port on which you could test it? It is just possible that the USB3 interface has developed a fault while the USB2 interface is still working OK, in which case you need to get it repaired.

Thanks elvis55, I've tried Input=Default and that gave me the first breakthrough. Thank you zenvideo, I didn't even know about that utility, it sure helps explore some options. I do have a "USB capture HDMI+" listed in devices. (see attached). I will test it with a newer laptop in a few days and report back. I sure expect a smoother experience. After a couple of hours of testing: ( more like a monkey typing Shakespeare, trying all kind of settings ) - setting Input to Default seems to work - setting Audio Device to HDMI (USB Capture HDMI+) seems to make a difference. - setting Audio format to 44100, 1 channel seems to help. Once I remove the source and try to add it again, all the things above are useless, it doesn't work anymore ( I get the error message ). - I turn off vMix - unplug Magewell - plug back Magewell HDMI+, wait a few seconds - restart vMix - try the setting above again - and it works. So, with some caveats, it works ! I'll take any victory, as small as it is. Next I'll play around with the Magewell utility and see if I can make it "more" compatible. Thank you!
