Frequently asked questions
What is the key technical difference between these two?
The UVC1-4K is a direct USB capture card for streaming software on a computer; it sends video over USB 3.0 to your PC or Mac. The NMX-ENC-N3132-C is a networked encoder card that compresses video into H.264 and transmits it over Ethernet/IP infrastructure, suitable for large installations and remote viewing.
Which one supports 4K video?
Only the UVC1-4K accepts and captures 4K input up to 4096×2160p@60. The NMX-ENC-N3132-C encodes full HD (1080p60) only.
Does either one require external power?
The UVC1-4K is bus-powered entirely via USB Type C. The NMX-ENC-N3132-C supports PoE (Power over Ethernet) on one Gigabit Ethernet port, reducing or eliminating the need for a separate power supply in networked installations.
What skill level is each suited for?
The UVC1-4K works for beginners through professionals and requires no driver installation or networking knowledge. The NMX-ENC-N3132-C is designed for professional-level integrators and system administrators who understand IP video infrastructure and network deployment.
