Yinker AC2 SE Capture Card: A Very Small Box with HDMI In and Out

Opening the capture card and comparing its physical size with my HD60 X.

Article published November 4, 2026.

This capture card is smaller than I expect when I take it out of the box. Yinker sent over the AC2 SE, and my first thought is how little room it would need beside the rest of my streaming gear.

Look at the signal path

I take out the manual, which includes notes about OBS, and turn the card around to look at its connections. There is an HDMI input, an HDMI output and a USB-C connection.

The included adapter gives me another way to connect the USB side. Those physical connections are the focus of this unboxing; I have not built an OBS scene or captured gameplay in this session.

Beside the Elgato

I put the Yinker next to my Elgato HD60 X so you can see their size difference. The small body is interesting, especially if I want a capture device that is easy to pack.

That side-by-side is a look at the hardware. It does not tell us how the two cards compare for latency, image quality or reliability.

One more streaming accessory to try

I discuss the listing’s capture modes and the price I saw at the time. Those are June 2024 details, rather than fresh measurements or a current-price promise. For a different take on combining capture with other connections, see my AVerMedia Elite GO unboxing.

The original Yinker link is below. The on-page promotion mentioned in the video did not supply a reusable code in the description.

The original description also includes http://eme7.com/ and http://discord.mikethetech.com/. The course URL carries MIKETHETECH, without a stated discount amount or expiry.
