What is ZowieREC?

ZowieREC is a standalone 4K HDMI video recording solution designed by Zowietek, offering two distinct models to meet different content capture needs — from modern gameplay to classic analog video archiving.

1. ZowieREC 4K HDMI Video Recorder

This version is tailored for gamers, streamers, and creators who want to record and playback Ultra HD (4K) video without the need for a PC. It supports one-touch recording, seamless 4K pass-through, and works perfectly with game consoles like PS5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and other HDMI sources. With advanced H.264/H.265 encoding and support for live streaming via RTMP/SRT/NDI protocols, ZowieREC provides professional-grade video quality in a compact, easy-to-use package.

2. ZowieREC 4K HDMI Video Recorder with AV to HDMI Converter

This version is designed for digitizing and preserving analog memories. It includes an AV to HDMI converter, allowing users to connect older devices such as VHS players, VCRs, Hi8, Mini DV camcorders, DVRs, and DVD players via RCA/CVBS interfaces. The device converts analog signals into digital HDMI format for high-quality 4K recording, making it an ideal choice for transferring old tapes to a modern digital archive.

Both versions of ZowieREC are plug-and-play, PC-free solutions that support external storage, pause/resume recording, and offer a user-friendly browser-based control interface. Whether you’re capturing today’s high-definition gameplay or restoring yesterday’s family memories, ZowieREC provides a powerful yet simple video recording experience.
