From boss fights to boardrooms – dock anywhere, stream everywhere.
Check on Kickstarter
This is Kickstarter #7 for Genki — and the end of a trilogy for our most popular duo.
Meet Covert Dock 3 and ShadowCast 3: two tiny devices that unlock huge possibilities.
Together, the Covert Dock and ShadowCast series have raised over $7M on crowdfunding, and now they’ve been rebuilt for today’s handhelds, consoles, laptops, tablets, cameras, and phones — delivering epic performance in the smallest form factors ever.
Six Kickstarter projects ago, the Genki team was living on the road building our first accessory. We loved gaming, but dragging the dock between flights and Airbnbs was a pain. So we asked: what’s the ideal way to dock a Switch on the go? Carrying a dock bigger than the console just didn’t make sense.
And now, we have the most powerful Covert Dock yet — more power, more resolution, and still a great pocketable size.
One Charger, Infinite Screens
Plug your device into Covert Dock 3, and instantly output to any display – while charging at the same time.
Global Travel Adapters
Included with the global edition is 3 travel adapters that allow you to game, watch a video, or present your idea in 150+ countries worldwide. They snap securely on and off allowing for you to keep gaming wherever you may land.
And It’s not Just for Gaming
People are often surprised to hear that Covert Dock works with smartphones – which means it not only works well for smartphone gaming (best paired with a PocketPro controller), but also means you can fire up a movie on Netflix or a review on YouTube.
Covert Dock 3 is more versatile than ever providing more power, incredible visual fidelity, and most importantly it can dock the latest devices such as the upcoming ROG Xbox Ally X and Nintendo Switch 2™ in their full glory.
If Covert Dock is about ]gaming on the big screen, ShadowCast is about gaming on the smartest screens you’re already carrying.
4K60 capture, near-zero latency, and our Genki Studio app on iPad/iPhone means you can play, stream, and record anywhere. From GTA VI chaos to Silksong speedruns, ShadowCast 3 is still the ultimate portable play and capture tool.
Zero-Latency Passthrough
Included with the Pro edition is HDMI Passthrough module that you connect your ShadowCast into, giving you an extra HDMI port to play with zero latency on one screen while streaming and recording on another.
Professional Streaming, Simplified
Plug in your DSLR or mirrorless camera via HDMI and suddenly your livestream looks cinematic. Perfect for Twitch, YouTube, or Zoom meetings where you don’t want to look like a potato.
Ready When You Are
No bulky capture rig, no setup headaches. Works instantly plug and play with OBS, Streamlabs, Zoom, Discord, and any major video app. The software recognizes it as a camera feed – you don’t need special drivers or hacks.
Con Ready
Whether you’re IRL streaming from TwitchCon, vlogging at a game launch, promoting you’re new indie title, or recording an interview in a hotel lobby – ShadowCast 3 fits in your pocket and works with the gear you already have.
The original ShadowCast was made for a generation where there was only one handheld game console that mattered. But now with a plethora of more powerful consoles, the need to push toward 4K60 with ShadowCast 3 matters more than ever.
Here’s where the yin meets the yang:
- Covert Dock 3 = USB-C → HDMI
- ShadowCast 3 = HDMI → USB-C
Together, you can:
- Play the latest consoles on an iPad Pro with no noticeable lag.
- Stream GTA VI launch night directly from a console in your hotel room.
- Present work slides from your phone to a projector in seconds.
- Stream IRL interviews at TwitchCon with DSLR quality – from your backpack
