I'm trying to see if there are any 2 input HDMI USB capture devices. I would like to be able to grab video coming off of two HDMI sources laptops ( Guest presentation, graphics/announcements) maybe even have a loop out of one of them and some sort of audio input. Currently using a couple of those $15 USB 2.0 capture devices trying to slimline the mess of HDMI switch and associated cables. Looking in the < $200 range maybe.

Not that I know of. USB captures tend to be single channel only. If you want multiple channels, you need multiple captures. And for decent quality without deceptive marketing, you need to spend about $100 per channel for name brand.

I replaced my set of 4 cheap USB captures with one of these, and it works *SO* much better!:
Specifically, I got the 4x SDI card for $220, because I had 3 SDI inputs already, that I converted to HDMI for the USB captures. Now my one HDMI signal gets converted to SDI to feed that card.

For the audio input, do you mean embedded audio in the same HDMI stream that you're already capturing? Those cards will do that. Or do you need one of these as well?:
