Console play through Mac devices?

[Ursadorable]

Heyo..

So my monitor has two HDMI inputs, and I have my Mac Mini and PS4 Pro.. I'm adding a Nintendo Switch today, but I'm out of inputs. Additionally, since the Switch doesn't have a separate audio output I have to rely on HMDI audio.

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone has an experience and suggestions regarding a live video/audio capture device I can hook up and play a console through my Mac.

I see Elgato has a couple capture devices, but am worried about capture lag.

Anyone have any suggestions on what to buy?

Why not buy an HDMI splitter like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Levin-Select...F8&qid=1488646471&sr=1-5&keywords=hdmi+switch

Capture devices add to much lag for gaming...

Problem is it doesn't solve my audio issue, since the Switch doesn't have an audio output.

Doesn't the headphone jack count as an audio output?

Not sure if that works while docked.. will try it.

Why not simply use the PS4 remote play app on your Mac .... No dongles needed, just hook up your PS4 & Mac on same network, preferably via LAN.
