Well for those people, unfortunately this news is going to be a bitter pill to swallow, as Atomos, the brand renowned for providing professional video monitors and recorders have produced the Connect 4K, a HDMI to USB video converter capable of receiving up to a UHD 4K 30p HDMI signal and outputs it up to 1080p 60p over USB for just $39, yes you read that right, $39!
