The first hardware Moonlight streamer

Until now Moonlight needed Sunshine running on a gaming PC. USBridge is the first hardware Moonlight streamer: a small box takes the HDMI output of any device and is itself the GameStream host. The source runs no software, so a game console, a PC in the BIOS, or a machine you cannot install anything on streams to Moonlight the same way.

No PC, no Sunshine install

The box is the host. Plug HDMI and USB into the source and pair Moonlight with the box.

Stock Moonlight client

The regular Moonlight app on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, Apple TV or Android TV connects to it. Nothing to patch.

1080p at 60 FPS with audio

Low-latency video and sound from the HDMI input.

Any HDMI source

A PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo Switch, a gaming PC, a laptop, a mini PC, a server in the BIOS.

PS5 to Moonlight

Connect the PS5 HDMI output to the box. PS5 games turn on HDCP, so switch it off in Settings → System → HDMI → Enable HDCP.

Xbox to Moonlight

Connect the Xbox HDMI output to the box and stream it to any Moonlight client.

Nintendo Switch to Moonlight

Connect the dock HDMI output to the box and play on a phone, tablet or another TV.

A Steam Link alternative

Like a Steam Link, but in reverse: the box sits at the source, so the source needs no Steam and no PC.

More than a streamer

KVM over IP

Keyboard and mouse from power-on, BIOS and UEFI setup, ISO and IMG virtual media.

Tailscale P2P

Encrypted access from anywhere, no port forwarding.

USBridge client

Use the USBridge client instead of Moonlight for KVM features in the same window.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a hardware Moonlight streamer?

Yes. USBridge is the first hardware Moonlight streamer: the USBridge KVM 2.0, or a Radxa Zero 3W, Radxa Cubie A7Z or Sipeed NanoKVM flashed with USBridge firmware, acts as a GameStream host for whatever is connected to its HDMI input. Before it, Moonlight needed Sunshine or GeForce Experience running on a PC.

Can I use Moonlight without a PC?

Yes. A USBridge box is the Moonlight host itself and captures the source over HDMI, so the source runs no software. Pair the stock Moonlight client with the box.

Can I stream a PS5, Xbox or Nintendo Switch to Moonlight?

Yes. Connect the console HDMI output to a USBridge box and stream it at 1080p 60 FPS with audio to Moonlight on a phone, tablet, PC, Mac or TV. On a PS5, switch off HDCP in Settings, System, HDMI.

Can Sunshine or Apollo stream a PS5, Xbox or Switch?

Not by themselves: Sunshine and Apollo run on a PC, and a console cannot run them. A USBridge box takes their place. It is the Sunshine-compatible GameStream host, captures the console over HDMI, and the stock Moonlight client connects to it.

Does it work with the regular Moonlight app?

Yes. The box speaks the same GameStream protocol as Sunshine, so the stock Moonlight client on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, Apple TV and Android TV pairs with it like with a Sunshine PC.

Which hardware can be a Moonlight streamer?

The ready USBridge KVM 2.0, or a Radxa Zero 3W, Radxa Cubie A7Z or Sipeed NanoKVM flashed with USBridge firmware. Radxa boards need a USB HDMI capture dongle.
