There are two modern ways to capture HDMI video into a computer using OBS. Both require a video capture card.

A PCIe video capture device allows you to capture and record video and audio from a device and save it to your computer through HDMI.

Besides a PCIe capture card, you can also use a USB video capture card. A USB video capture card is more portable, but you can only use one in each USB port.

While both use the same USB-C connector, Thunderbolt 4 is a significantly faster data transfer standard compared to standard USB-C.
