Typical Applications
- USB 3.0 HD / 4K capture cards
- Live streaming, recording, and video-conferencing capture devices
- Driverless UVC capture modules for industrial, medical, and education systems
- Portable capture devices for Windows, Android, Linux, and macOS hosts
- USB audio/video capture products requiring firmware or descriptor customization
Design Notes
- The
4K@60Hzinput capability is different from the USB output capability:4K@60Hzover USB is specified for MJPEG output, while YUV422 output is specified up to3840 × 2160 @ 25Hz. - The public MS2130S page does not list HD loop-out, I2S input/output, or SPDIF output support; compare MS2131S if those features are required.
- Designs using HDCP 1.4 should confirm licensing, key handling, and content-protection compliance.
- UVC/UAC compatibility on Android, Linux, macOS, and Windows should be validated with the target host, player, browser, or application.
- The integrated MCU supports secondary development; production designs should use the authorized MacroSilicon SDK, firmware, and reference design.
