NZXT Signal HD60 Capture Card Review

A Closer Look

The Signal is a nicely designed bit of kit, and features a stylish slim design that’s not going to be too much of a desktop space hog. It’s not really much bigger than most external hard drives, and if you did need to travel with it, it should be easy enough to tuck into a backpack with your laptop. It comes with a 100cm USB-C to USB-A cable, and a 150cm HDMI cable too, but there’s no reason why you couldn’t use your own cables if you so desire.

It really couldn’t be much easier to understand either, with a clearly labelled HDMI in, and HDMI out. There’s a Type-C port, allowing you to hook it up to your computer, with the USB fulfilling both power and data duties.

Down the left side, you’ll find a bit of ventilation, and while it’s a very minor detail, the design of the ventilation holes matches up with the design you see on their latest cases, motherboards, and more.

There’s more down the right side too. The unit is passively cooled, so ventilation is good, as the whole thing should be completely silent when in use.

Up on the front, there’s just a red and white LED in the middle, which can let you know if the USB is connected, if the device is updating, etc.

On the underside, there are four rubber feet, which will prevent it from scuffing up your desktop or sliding around.
