Does RecDual Dongle record 4K video?
It supports 4K@60 passthrough to HDMI OUT, and records up to 1080p@60 to the TF card.
-
Why is my phone/laptop speaker muted during recording?
Audio is routed through the capture path. Use the 3.5mm AUX port for headphones/speakers, or listen from the TV via HDMI OUT.
-
My phone asks to format the TF card when connected—what should I do?
Insert the TF card into RecDual Dongle first, then connect the phone via USB Type-C DP. This avoids the system format prompt and keeps recording files intact.
-
Why doesn’t a TF card formatted by my phone work?
Some phones create non-standard partitions. Format the TF card on a Windows PC or a Mac (standard exFAT/FAT32) before use for best compatibility.
-
Can the Type-C power port charge every phone?
The power port supports PD charging. If your device uses a different fast-charge protocol, charging may be limited; recording and passthrough still work normally.
