Has no HDMI output/passthrough port of any kind — connecting a console or handheld here means the only way to see the gameplay is through the capture preview window on the receiving computer, introducing perceptible input-to-display lag. To both play locally and capture, an external HDMI splitter is mandatory. Outright refuses any HDCP-encrypted signal.
