Frequently asked questions
Can either device handle 4K at 60 Hz?
Yes. The PR-0402 switches 4K (4096×2160) at 60 Hz natively. The UVC1-4K accepts 4K input at 60 Hz but outputs 4K video over USB at only 30 fps due to USB 3.0 bandwidth limits—it also supports 1080p at 60 fps output.
Which is better for live streaming?
The UVC1-4K is purpose-built for streaming; it captures HDMI directly into USB for OBS, Streamyard, or other software. The PR-0402 is a routing tool, not a capture device—it manages video between displays and sources in a control room.
Do either require external software or drivers?
The PR-0402 has onboard switching intelligence and Ethernet connectivity for control integration but does not function as a plug-and-play device. The UVC1-4K is fully UVC 1.1 compliant and requires no drivers on Windows or macOS—it appears as a standard video device.
What is the main architectural difference?
The PR-0402 is a switcher that routes one of four HDMI sources to one or both of two outputs, staying in the HDMI domain. The UVC1-4K is a capture bridge that converts one HDMI source into USB digital video data suitable for computer-based workflows.
