This thing is a Swiss Army knife - it does just about everything, but not perfectly. BUT having a great quality 1080p real-time livestream of our camera feed, as long as you have a network connection to one of our campus network switches (which in turn powers the device with POE), is a game changer. Has no trouble displaying on 4K TVs and audio passthrough via HDMI works great. Makes for a super clean setup. Two gripes. This device has issues with frame rate conversions which might be solved in a future firmware update. For example, we run everything at 59.94 which the zowiebox detects as 60.00 (or at least that's the highest fps option in video settings, and no 59.94 option). Within a couple minutes there is a SEVERE delay to the audio channel. This effect appears to be caused by the Zowiebox "speeding up" the video channel to convert it from 59.94 to 60, but does not speed up the audio channel simultaneously, so for every second the audio gets behind the video channel by 0.06 seconds. So after 16.66 seconds the audio becomes 1 whole second behind the video, and after a minute it's approximately 3 seconds behind. The two options to solve this are to convert our video infrastructure to 60 (headache) instead of 59.94 which removes the conversion the Zowiebox is performing, or force the Zowiebox in video settings to 30fps. Somehow this fixed the audio issues and now everything is real-time. I've also had issues getting Multicast NDI to work properly which might be user error, but I've tinkered with this for many many hours. I have dreams of using our SDI-Zowiebox as our "transmitter" with a small army of HDMI-Zowieboxes as receivers for hallway TVs, classrooms and overflow rooms, and I'll need multicast with this. I'll have to tinker with this some more. Overall highly recommend. As I said, Swiss army pieces of hardware. Review: 2024 missing key features - This vendor is finally filling a space in the current market that has been empty for too long. The ZowieBox does what the Magewell's have been doing with respect to converting HDMI to NDI (and vice versa AMAZINGLY) but they don't support all formats of NDI. This is a brilliant one-trick-pony. It supports HX1, HX2 and HX3 but not the uncompressed SHQ. This is a huge problem when using the Zowiebox in a Tricaster environment (native NDI anyone???) as the multiviews are sent out uncompressed. It's like releasing a guitar that only has 3 strings and expecting folks to be happy with the luthier. Now, I've purchased and deployed about a dozen of these since they came out using a few hacks, but have been forced to *upgrade* to Magewells due to this major shortfall. I have reached out to support to 2 months with no response. Excited if they can Fix this beautiful product. ## Features - Compact but Powerful: ZowieBox, smaller than phones, with a tally light and LCD screen showing streaming status, can stream console gameplays at 4K capture with zero-lag passthrough. The IP stream can be decoded into a 4K HDMI signal. - Standalone Game streaming: Just plug and play, ZowieBox can stream live gaming PC-free, not affecting the game experience at all! - NDI|HX3 Converter: It can encode a HDMI signal to NDI|HX3/HX2/HX. The certified NDI technology enables ZowieBox to stream gameplay from home to global e-sports championship via OBS/vMix in real time at very low delay but high definition. ZowieBox cannot be used as an encoder and decoder at the same time. It can only switch between the two working modes, not use both modes at the same time. Note: It does not support encoding/decoding full NDI signals - UVC to HDMI: Up to 4K@30fps & 1080p@60fps resolution and decoding solution, ZowieBox allows you to unfold more possibilities of the webcam devices. USB capture card function is not currently supported. - All-around Configuration: It can be adjusted through web UI by PC/phone/pad to control PTZ cameras connected, Tally light, video/audio, OSD, work mode, stream, network and system. Users can see the preview video and overall dashboard on the web UI. - HDMI Extender: Using two ZowieBoxes, point-to-point transmission can be achieved. One acts as an HDMI encoder/transmitter and the other acts as an HDMI decoder/receiver. The video signal is transmitted through a network such as a LAN. - HDMI 4K Signal Input: When accepting a 4Kp60 HDMI signal, it can loop out 4Kp60, and stream at 1080p60. When accepting a 4Kp30 HDMI signal, it can loop out 4Kp30, and stream at 4Kp30. - Convenient Use at Anywhere: ZowieBox supports PoE(100 meters) or being powered by USB-C chargers such as power banks and DC to USB-C adapters. It can also power external equipments like PTZ cameras by DC out and be mounted on SLR or standard tripod. - NDI Substream: The NDI substream converted by ZowieBox can better cooperate with the use of NDI directing systems like Tricaster etc. Also, NDI Discover works well with ZowieBox! - OBS Dock: Seamlessly integrate the Web UI of ZowieBox into OBS, making it effortless to configure ZowieBox. Switch seamlessly between PC and mobile interfaces for added convenience. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CGRZ9DQ2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #74 in Video Converters | | Brand | zowietek | | Brand Name | zowietek | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 307 Reviews | | Included Components | ZowieBox, Power Supply only for U.S, Cold Shoe, Quick Start Guide | | Interface | HDMI | | Interface Type | HDMI | | Item Dimensions L x W | 4.84"L x 2.68"W | | Item Weight | 5.9 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Zowietek | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Mounting Type | Tripod Mount | | Number of Channels | 3 | | Number of Pins | 38 | | UPC | 617395411306 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Upper Temperature Rating | 45 Degrees Celsius | | Warranty Description | 1 Year Manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Brand:** zowietek - **Interface Type:** HDMI - **Mounting Type:** Tripod Mount - **Number of Pins:** 38 - **Upper Temperature Rating:** 45 Degrees Celsius ## Images ![4K HDMI Video Encoder/Decoder, ZowieBox, Native NDI HX3 (Certified) Converter/Player, UVC to HDMI, Pass-Through Video Capture, SRT/RTMP(S)/RTSP, Live Streaming to YouTube - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/516bycNxuZL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Do I need PC/OBS/vMix or other softwares to broadcast XBox and PS games via ZowieBox?** A: Three streaming ways **Q: If I want to use OBS, how to get ZowieBox working in the OBS?** A: First, open the NDI of ZowieBox. Second, install and run the 'NDI Tools' APP. Then select the 'NDI|HX' signal from ZowieBox as the 'Webcam Input'. Last, use OBS to add a ‘Video Capture Device’ source and select ‘ZowieBox’. Or OBS pulls RTSP from it. **Q: Can ZowieBox support 4K zero-lag loop-through?** A: Yes. It can loop out 4K HDMI video signal with zero-lag. When accepting 4Kp60 HDMI signal, it can loop out 4Kp60, record and stream at 1080p60. When accepting 4Kp30 HDMI signal, it can loop out 4Kp30, record and stream at 4Kp30. **Q: Can ZowieBox decode the RTMP/SRT streaming into HDMI signal?** A: Yes. It can be a decoder, decoding RTMP/SRT stream to the HDMI signal. **Q: Can ZowieBox stream to multiple platforms simultaneously?** A: Yes, it supports streaming to 4 platforms simultaneously——2 rtmp streams and 2 srt streams ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great, With Quirks *by T***B on April 16, 2025* This product was basically my first step into the complicated world of NDI, and I'm happy overall.

The product works well and provides a lot of control over video and audio quality. It is a fairly economical way to do so, considering you typically have to pay $99 just for an NDI license for each product you use, and that fee is included in the $150 price. The quality is good, and I'm hoping in the future they will support even faster transmission rates at higher resolutions over wireless NDI. NDI requires a lot of bandwidth, so a strong wifi is required. I'm only taking one star off, because I feel like the transmitter could be stronger, especially considering the antenna is inside a metal box, which isn't a great location for an antenna. It makes the unit streamline, which is nice, but reduces effectiveness a bit. I think they should consider adding an external antenna port, which would help improve the distance covered. The only other negative was the unit seems to be a bit sensitive to swapping wifi network. I was on one wifi, then switched to another, and when I did this, the unit started acting very erratic. I was getting choppy video and couldn't figure out why. I had to do a factory reset to fix the issue. Also, I run a pretty mobile setup, and it didn't seem to like being handed off from one wifi access point to another. It would lock up during the handoff and I would have to restart the system. Pretty good technical support, other than having to wait a day since I think the support team, for me, is overseas and on a different time zone. Overall a good product, and I'd recommend, but I could see them making a few tweaks to improve even further. ## Frequently Bought Together - 4K HDMI Video Encoder/Decoder, ZowieBox, Native NDI HX3 (Certified) Converter/Player, UVC to HDMI, Pass-Through Video Capture, SRT/RTMP(S)/RTSP, Live Streaming to YouTube - 3G SDI Native NDI|HX3 Video Streaming Encoder Decoder, ZowieBox, UVC to SDI Converter, SDI Video Capture Extender with Loopout, SRT/RTMP(S)/RTSP to NDI, Standalone H.265/H.264 Live Stream with PoE - zowietek USB 3.0 A to A Male Cable 4.92Ft, USB to USB, Male to Male, Gold-Plated Connector for Hard Drive Enclosures, DVD Player, Laptop Cooler (4.92Ft/1.5M) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/583729752-4k-hdmi-video-encoder-decoder-zowiebox-native-ndi-hx3-certified](https://www.desertcart.at/products/583729752-4k-hdmi-video-encoder-decoder-zowiebox-native-ndi-hx3-certified) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
