I made this question post recently on linus tech tip forums
I looked at the following 4K60 capture devices
  • AJA - Kona 4 ~$2000 USD
  • Atomos - Shogun Inferno ~$1500 USD
  • Avermedia - CE511-HN ~$1200 USD
  • Blackmagic - DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G ~$1420 USD
  • Datapath - VisionSC-DP2 ~$2000 USD
  • Magewell - Pro Capture HDMI 4K Plus ~$900 USD
They're all way over my budget for this and I'm not even sure if the first 2 or the last 3 in this list will work.
I have a nice 4K60 HDMI splitter, I thought maybe a temporary compromise would be some kind of an FPS reducer so that I could use cheaper 4K30 capture cards... at least then the resolution would be nice, just less smooth footage. But I haven't found a device for that yet.

Thoughts?
