EVGA made a line of capture devices that I suspect were made by either this brand or another similar OEM selling generic designs. They got nailed for advertising a lot of specs that were basically completely fake (the device could not do some of the modes at all, not just fake internal resolution but couldn't even output them) and then went through a couple rapid iterations of similar specs that were just fake.

EposVox has been doing a whole series. The whole market seems to be really shady and hit-or-miss if you don't go with a name-brand like elgato or blackmagic.

Huge number of sellers are just slapping their brand on an OEM design and the OEM doesn't seem to mind lying about what their design will do, and then the OEM is caught in the middle of angry customers and an OEM who just flagrantly doesn't care.
