IOGEAR, today added the UpStream Game Capture Adapter with Team Chat to its robust line of video capture solutions and production tools. This compact 4K HDMI capture adapter was engineered with premium, class-leading specs and robust compatibility with the latest game consoles. It works with popular broadcast software like OBS Studio, Streamlabs and Xsplit, and supports all content platforms, including Twitch, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
“Our UpStream product line was designed to make live streaming to friends and fans across the globe simple. With our new Upstream 4K Game Capture Card with Party Chat, we’re taking our streaming game further by unlocking endless possibilities for console gamers to capture and record gameplay in 4K, as well as the associated party chat audio from any game title, and stream it,” said Michael Volpe, director of marketing, IOGEAR.
Keeping in mind that gamers often use their consoles for more than gaming, the UpStream Game Capture Adapter with Team Chat features an HDCP toggle switch. HDMI capture adapters are incapable of handling HDCP-protected content, but instead of having to disconnect the capture adapter from their game console to enjoy this kind of content, users can simply flip a switch to allow protected content, like TV shows and movies streamed from popular content platforms, to pass through to their TV. HDCP-protected content cannot be captured by the adapter.

Monolith, the high-end audio brand from Monoprice, today announced the addition of two premium eight-channel class D home theater amplifiers. Designed, engineered and assembled in the USA with globally sourced parts, the Monolith 8250X and Monolith 8125X utilize high-end, audiophile grade Hypex® NCore® amplifier modules that deliver outstanding efficiency and can accurately reproduce the most dynamic soundtracks while articulating all the subtle sonic details found in music. A perfect pairing for Monolith home theater speakers, these amplifiers create an excellent foundation for a no-compromises home theater system.
“We take great pride in our Monolith products, and these new Class-D amplifiers are no exception. Engineered for uncompromising performance and value, our new Monolith amps efficiently deliver powerful and precise audio output across the entire frequency range, regardless of output gain levels. On top of all that, we were able to provide this level of world-class performance at an incredibly competitive price point,” said Hobie Sechrest, Monolith Business Unit Manager, Monoprice.
Beyond their power and performance, these new Monolith amplifiers were engineered to last. Monolith engineers worked with Hypex to create bespoke NCore® amplifier modules that feature a heavy-duty heatsink to dissipate heat more effectively for enhanced system endurance. Monolith engineers also chose to mount the balanced XLR inputs directly to the amp’s metal chassis, not the internal circuit board to ensure a firm connection and prevent broken solder joints.
