6 Installation

Please follow the set-up instructions step by step as below:

REMARK: The HDMI source that you input first will be the main display/capture and loop-out images.

As a result, the other HDMI source will show up in the small window when using the Pengo GUI

interface.

1. Plug in the power adapter until the blue light in the front of the grabber is flashing.

2. Make sure that both HDMI sources are turned on.

3. Plug the main HDMI source that you want to capture to HDMI A on the VideoSync Grabber Box.

4. Use another HDMI cable to connect the VideoSync Grabber Box to an external monitor through

the loop-out port. The main HDMI source images will show up in the monitor.

5. Plug in the other HDMI source to the VideoSync Grabber Box (HDMI B).

6. Grab the provided USB-C to C or USB-C to A cable to bridge the VideoSync Grabber Box and your

PC. (USB 3.0 connection is recommended)

7. Lastly, if you have a headset, plug it into the 3.5mm audio jack. (TRRS only)

8. If everything is all set/connected, the blue LED light will always be ON at the front.

NOTE 1: Please mind the plug-in order. No matter which HDMI ports, the one you plug into the

VideoSync Grabber Box first will be the main video source and pass-through to your FreeSync/VRR

monitors via loop-out port.

NOTE 2: In case you did not follow our steps and the power on the VideoSync was the last one being

connected, then by default, the input source from HDMI A will be the main video source.
