(Part 2) Best internal tv tuner & video capture cards according to redditors
We found 1,324 Reddit comments discussing the best internal tv tuner & video capture cards. We ranked the 157 resulting products by number of redditors who mentioned them. Here are the products ranked 21-40. You can also go back to the previous section.
I use this:

It comes with software which you could use, I guess, but it is very buggy and frustrating to use. I instead use OBS (https://obsproject.com/). Once you hookup the VCR to the computer you set up the VCR as the capture device in OBS settings. Set up OBS to record a file of everything that shows on that device. Hit play on the VCR and you should see the VHS tape playing on your screen. OBS will capture it & when it's over you can hit stop recording and it will make the now-digital video file for you. One thing I learned the hard way is to make sure it is picking up the sound. If your computer's volume is off, the resulting digital video file will be silent.
​
Hope that I explained it well enough. Good luck :)
I have been doing just that myself, been saving old family movies before they are un watchable, I use https://www.amazon.ca/Hauppauge-Colossus-Express-Internal-HD-PVR/dp/B00WMJMDG6/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1/141-6523776-5836914?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1494403343&sr=1-1-fkmr0&keywords=Hauppauge+Colossus+2+PCI+Express+Internal+1080p+HD-PV but because VHS only uses Av and not comp I had to get this https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00LN0AGIM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 to convert just the video to hdmi, the card comes with an s video to av so I use that for the sound and av for picture, because the program that comes with the card is good for tv recording via hdmi in order to get decent audio and video to save I use obs studio which is free but because the video is huge MP4 I then re code that in handbreak which is also a free program to make it a smaller mkv so instead of 8gb per hour it's 1gb. Hope that helps. Also having a vcr to plug into all this helps. Luckily I already had one from the 90s
This is the capture card I have. It works pretty well, but it records in 480i at 60fps I believe (the Wii outputs 480p max). I'd recommend buying these cables as well due to S-Video being much higher quality than standard AV cables.
For your software, you'll want to download Virtual Dub (the bundled software is not that great plus Virtual Dub gives you options for compression). For encoding, I'd recommend HuffYuv. It's a lossless codec meaning it will be a large file size, but the quality will be 1:1 with the TV.
You'll then want to compress it to a much smaller size. There is a simple program that will encode it in x264 and NeroAAC which will shrink the file size and still give you great quality. You can download it here and I'd recommend the tutorial here.
capture cards are so cheap now that you definitely don't need skills like this to get one. you dont even need a PC for some capture cards
uh, there's a 4K capture card that costs $10 more than that thing. Price is a bit steep for just 1080p.
So let's cut right down to it and explain the parts:
---
This is the Cherry MX red review and I went for the Cherry MX brown. The reds are perhaps even more silent once you've applied the O-rings. Not entirely sure about that. Here is a very good read about mechanical keyboards and especially a nice look at the different switches. I use MX browns personally and it's not silent at all, but it's far less loud compared to MX blues, that I've used previously.
Note: the total price is without the keyboard, mouse & webcam.
---
Now I will also provide you with my standard list of videos to help you understand why I suggest these parts.
Lastly I'll also provide you with a couple of great guides to help you build the PC.
I have to post this in a reply to this post, since I went over the 10.000 character limitation reddit provides per post.

There is that caveat, yes. Hopefully Twitch will allow broadcasting of higher bit rates and resolutions in the near future!
You can actually pre-order it on Amazon as soon as they decide to open pre-orders, lol. We are waiting on them.
$13 for a converter at Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/UCEC-Video-Capture-Converter-support/dp/B00WSAWZ1M
I don't have any code that does it, but I do have a broad understanding of web technology so I'm confident that I could figure it out. I have a CS degree and I've been employed as a web developer for 10 years now, so perhaps that skews my opinion on the difficulty of such a project.. I would probably attempt it with Java since that's what I'm most familiar with, but you could do it with any general purpose language that supports processing streams of data.
The goal is to keep a buffer of the previous 10 seconds of AV data that had been streamed and to automate packaging it up, uploading and submitting it to reddit along with a meaningful title with one command.
One aspect would be in obtaining the input stream of AV data. I reckon the best bet for this would be to use the HDMI from the Sky box and plug that directly into your PC. A special PCI card would be required for this, as the HDMI ports you get on PC graphics cards are for video out only. Something like this would give you a stream of AV data that you could work with. I'm getting out of my comfort zone here, but I assume there would be a way to convert whatever format the sky box is providing into something compatible with web tech (ie mp4). Then you would need to maintain a buffer of streamed data which represents the video which will make up the gif. Posting it would be possible through standard HTTP requests.
It sounds like a mildly interesting pet project so maybe I'll try it one day if I have nothing better to do
All of the above is relatively doable for any proficient developer. There are probably hundreds of thousands or even millions of people out there that could do it. The other end of the difficulty spectrum would be a program that automatically posted goal gifs without any human interaction. That would have to somehow processes the AV stream and understand that a goal has been scored, work out which team scored it, and for maximum difficulty points which player scored it. I wouldn't know where to begin on something like that. The number of people that could do that is probably in the thousands, and they're probably working on systems like Tesla's autopilot and earning $200k a year
Smashing Grounds uses one of these, coupled with a component splitter so as to output to the TV and the capture card at the same time with no input lag.
Here's a sample of what it looks like
The Avermedia Game Capture HD2 captures straight to an external hard drive or USB memory stick, no need for a computer. Any PS4 vids on my channel are recorded with it if you want to see the quality (I won't link any to avoid spam but my channel is in my flair if you want to go there yourself).
Try a USB A/V video capture device kind of like this:
https://www.amazon.com/UCEC-Capture-Adapter-Digital-Converter/dp/B00WSAWZ1M/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1504738697&sr=1-6&keywords=USB+Video+Capture
I did it years ago with one similar to this for DVD's and it lasted me through hundreds of them. It's a bit of a pain since they're all basically the same garbage from China and terrible software support. Also, expect a downgrade of some sort from Gamecube picture quality for sure.
Back when I did this, I had to research tons because I couldn't get settings right while also considering file sizes for storage. I'd recommend trying to do it in conjunction with something like Open Broadcaster Software(OBS) since there's a lot of info online about settings for it. Though I'll warn you that getting these cheap USB devices to work properly on it might become a pain or be super simple.
Finally, I looked into doing this for PS2 a while back and basically decided I needed to go with component cables instead of the standard a/v for better picture quality, and that was even more complicated and involved more expensive and less supported devices. Good luck.
This might be not the best place, but are you sure about this? Professional gamers are rare, those that are nearly 40 even more so, especially in FPS games. It's not much of a career.
I mainly wanted to write the above, but have the builds as well. German prices, but should serve you at least as starting points:

I have no experience with capture cards, but from what I understand you should add something like https://www.amazon.de/Elgato-Game-Capture-Latency-Technologie-Hardware-Encoding/dp/B015E3OT54. Maybe someone else will chime in here.
For the displays:
> My pricing roughly has come out around £6k but that only includes 1 27" 240+mhz monitor
Get that one for the first build, like https://www.productchart.com/monitors/16909. For the second one a regular 1080p display should be fine.
only the ps4 pro records at 1080p, the og ps4 records at 720p.
a capture card might help for full HD.
i have this one and its nice, but i do not use it for video games.
https://www.amazon.com/Hauppauge-Colossus-Express-Internal-HD-PVR/dp/B00WMJMDG6
There is one more: Hauppage WinTV-DCR-2650
I use the https://www.amazon.com/Blackmagic-Design-Intensity-Capture-Playback/dp/B00U3QNP7Q/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1504671028&sr=1-1&keywords=Blackmagic+Design+Intensity+Pro+4K
Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro 4K
The reviews on amazon are a little misleading because it works fine now with all the updates.
these are the OBS studio settings I use
http://i.grab.la/07906-3321cb82-5318-4a0f-909d-1b55ab04f9ac.png
when I first set it up I was trying to use video capture device to find the blackmagic card, and it would find it BUT it was just a black screen so on OBS I switched it to what you see in the screen shot where it shows you it as a blackmagic device.
http://i.grab.la/07906-2f1e6b46-eed8-44a0-8bca-22d3f983dac3.png
I just use the auto settings so far they work fine.
these are my other OBS studio settings

One other tip since its capturing the screen though the HDMI in the menus there is an option to turn off the UI on the place where you are capturing it.
Another tip : I noticed shutter speed doesn't matter so you can bring it up to where you get really nice ISOs you can play with the settings but I have noticed shutter speed doesn't matter while streaming though the HDMI, so in a some what dark setting I was able to push the exposure with out having any real effect on the videos look in terms of shutter speed.
One last tip : you can use any of the color modes while streaming and it will broadcast that color mode so you can set it to look the best since you probably wont be grading the footage you can do some minor color corrections in screen, and it will broadcast that.
you may already know all that but just throwing it out there for anyone trying to stream using a GH5.
I haven't recorded any videos or streamed on youtube but I have been streaming on twitch this year. I only really stream Nintendo switch gameplay. All I needed (I already had a good pc and 2 monitors) to buy for the set up;
•Elgato game capture hd60 pro which I needed to link my switch up to the pc.
•logitech c920 hd webcam but webcams aren't always needed for streaming - loads of cool streamers who don't do webcam and still do well with my personal fav being dreamie pop on twitch
•blue yeti microphone
That was enough for me to get started and although it can be quite intimidating and weird at the start, keep going. Especially with games like stardew because there's such a sweet stardew community on twitch. I would recommend hanging out in some of these streams when you can, get a feel for the way things work and make some friends!
An inexpensive but good quality capture card would be the AVerMedia c039. It's better than the crappy Dazzles that people use...not as good as some more expensive cards, but a much more solid base than the Dazzle, and with decent drivers.
Get 3 RCA Y-splitters and two Composite extension cables (you can get longer ones if you want).
Plug the Red/Yellow/White cables from the GC/Wii into one splitter each. Take one of the extension cables and run it from one end of the splitters to the TV. Take the other extension cable and plug it into the other side of the splitters and feed it into the capture card. Make sure the colors match everywhere.
Plug the capture card into the computer and make sure the drivers are installed. Download Open Broadcaster Software and install it. When you open it, right-click the white area under "Sources" and say Add > Video Capture Device. Give the source a name, and select your AVerMedia device from the drop down. Then in the same window, select "Use device audio" in the Audio section, and "Output to stream".
Go here to get some basic streaming settings for OBS for your computer: http://obsproject.com/estimator
Press the Preview button to see what your stream will look like, and to see if you can see the captured output from the GC/Wii. If you need to move the capture screen around or resize it, press the Edit Scene button to do so.
Assuming you're streaming to Twitch, once you've set up your Twitch account, get your stream key from twitch.tv/<your username>/dashboard/streamkey. Open OBS settings and go to Broadcast Settings, select Twitch from the service list, pick a server close to you, and put in your stream key.
Also, fix all the things OBS tells you to fix in red text, or press the Optimize button to do it all for you.
Start streaming. ta daaaaa
It's way more than $1500... the build you linked isn't the same at all and doesn't include peripherals nor some other add-ins.
/u/forrealimadetective linked a pretty accurate build here which comes out to about $1900. Add the capture card ($150), upgrade the optical drive to the external DVD writer (+$15), anti-virus ($30), flash drive ($10?), t-shirt ($10?), and the value of the warranty ($100++?) and the total is at least $2200 in parts alone, or more if you consider the fact that the case is custom designed for this build and isn't otherwise available.
Still a better deal if you build it yourself, but not nearly as bad of a deal as a $1500 PC for $2750. Honestly this ends up not being that terrible of a deal for someone who isn't tech-savvy enough to put together this list of products and assemble them, and install OS/software.
Also, the better spec you linked would be something like $2400 if you also include the keyboard, mouse, monitor, and capture card.
There are capture devices that you can use, but just realize that converting analog to digital means it happens in real time. If you have a VHS that is 3 hours long, it is going to take at least 3 hours to transfer it. There are a ton options, from self-contained to USB .
I'd recommend doing all of this by streaming over Twitch. That way she'll be able to watch your stream from any of her devices as they all have the Twitch app (and alternatives like Pocket Plays). This will make things much easier for what you want to accomplish.
The software you'd use to stream all of this from an external capture card would be OBS, Open Source Broadcaster (free).
And finally, you have a variety of choices as to which hardware you could use to do this all with. Here are a few choices to take a look at and depending on your price range:
If I had to go with an external capture card, I'd either go with the AVerMedia Live Gamer Extreme or Elgato Game Capture HD60 S. So read up on these and see what the pros and cons of each are.
Now as far as latency between you and her, that will all depend on your upstream bandwidth for your internet connection as well as what video resolution and fps you'd be streaming at. But in normal/good scenarios, this will be 10-20 seconds.
Fyi, the Elgato is currently on sale for 300 usd
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076ZQBN6R/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_3Gl-Bb4X1VVVF
A USB port is generally USB 3 if it is blue (in this photo, the left port is USB 2, the right USB 3).
As for capture cards, Elgato is the big brand, but mostly it doesn't make much difference. Just be sure to read what resolutions and refresh rates it can capture at.
I avoid the whole fuss about having to hook up a computer though and use a standalone HDMI capture box instead, which can also accept component. It's this AverMedia one, which works nicely, but is limited to a maximum recording resolution of 1080p30 or 720p60, which may not be to your needs. I also bought it a few years back, so the hardware is nothing new and the price hasn't even come down - it's actually gone up a little.
Anyway, I would say to consider the standalone capture boxes. The upside to them is you don't need to hook up a computer, and you won't have any compatibility or performance issues, but the downside is you generally can't livestream and you will require an external hard drive.
I use the AverMedia ExtremeCap U3. To do 1080p60fps your computer will need to have a USB 3.0 port, otherwise it'll be 30fps.
If your computer has a good USB 3 controller, you're better off paying $20 more for the Avermedia (or wait for it to go on sale for $110 again). It's 60mbps bitrate while HD60 is only 40mbps and has no support for consoles older than PS4/XB1/360/needs a special HDMI splitter to record PS3.
I would get a cablecard based tuner so you can watch in HD.
Ceton InfiniTV 6 ETH 6 tuners (network based)
Ceton InfiniTV 4 PCIe 4 tuners
SiliconDust HDHomeRun PRIME 3 tuners (network based)
Hauppauge WinTV DCR-2650 2 tuners
Run one of these with Windows Media Center and you have a traditional DVR style interface that is ease to set up and use. The network based tuners plug into the router and any computer on the network can access them, where as the others plug into a computer and only that computer can access them.
I'm not sure what your question is, but I think you're asking how to get the VCR output to a computer. You can use any number of composite-USB capture cards. Back in the day only FireWire had enough throughput to handle real-time video, but these days the built-in encoders can push video over USB2 no problem.
if your going to get a non K version CPU, then your not going to overclock and could leave out the CPU cooler...
also, you could get a TV tuner separate from your monitor. I have a dcr-2650 it works with cable cards, and has dual tuners. Having a tuner in the computer instead of the monitor would allow you to record shows/use your computer like a tivo.
AVerMedia Live Gamer Extreme. He mentioned it. in a previous stream. Here's the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/AVerMedia-Extreme-PlayStation-Uncompressed-Latency/dp/B00Y3U01RU
thats not true!
there are stand alone capture cards which can save the gameplay on external harddrives/usbdrive etc.
one of many: https://www.amazon.com/AVerMedia-Definition-Commentate-Recorder-C285/dp/B00F890KXU
Here is a couple that should do what you want

Yeah, they seriously need to at least offer a CableCard add-on. They have 4-channel ones for about $200 and 2-channel ones for about $100.
Heck, they could just add support for specific USB CableCard tuners and call them "Certified".
about a year and a half ago I bought a new capture card and i got this, which had just gotten support in the kernel in 4.9, and it has worked amazingly well. I have been super pleased with it. I am not sure if this is what you are looking for, but i hope it helps.
This is the one that I bought. Granted, you could tell this is a knockoff... it didn't come in the best packaging and the manual is google translated, but it works like a champ! I haven't exactly fiddled with anything above or below 1080p, but it does show that it can support a myriad of resolutions in Windows (listed as a monitor).
> I personally avoid bringing up WINE in here even though its related to Linux and gaming, there is a sub for that and VFIO.
We're a mixed bag here. I've seen arguments on both sides for and against. In my opinion, if you're trying to game with a Linux host, this ought to be the place it's talked about. But again, as you stated, it's a personal opinion :)
Yeah, you were right to begin with. If you ever are in the market for a capture card, consider something similar to this for maximal device compatibility (if it has an HDMI port, it'll stream).
http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00GEBVEI6
The Portable Standalone version is also really nice, although it would probably need a little setup to start streaming, but for just recording it's awesome. What nice is you can plug a usb drive into it and record gameplay even when away from a PC, or plug it into PC and use the software. Plus it's got a big red button for recording, you can't beat big red buttons.
In the States, most all (everything I know of) digital cable is encrypted MPEG2 over QAM256. The set top box tunes and decrypts the MPEG2 stream, and sends the decrypted stream over the firewire port. It maintains any copy protection, so only copy-freely content will be decrypted. On my Comcast cable, everything except HBO and Showtime is copy-freely, so comes out clear on the firewire port.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copy_Control_Information
I have another QAM256 tuner for ClearQAM and over-the-air stuff. Conveniently, Comcast has all the over-the-air channels available in unencrypted-QAM256 (ClearQAM), so I don't need to bother with an antenna.
If everything out of your set top box is copy protected, you should look into an M-Card/CableCard tuner. This will be activated by your cable company and come with DRM software to deal with copy-once restrictions on your PC. (Disclaimer: I'm pretty sure CableCard is a US-only technology, so you may be out of luck. Hopefully this is useful to the next person to read this.)

I'm not familiar with any legal solutions to recording digital content from satellite subscription services.
That is way more work than you need or want to be doing. Don't upscale an SD signal to HD resolutions and then capture. It would just be a waste of recording space for no gain (and probably detrimental as I doubt the scaler in the converter is anything to write home about).
Get this or something similar. You should be good to go:

Equals Awesome Capturing.
I have a Toshiba 500 GB External plugged into front USB and just one press of record button and it records. Press the record button again and it stops. The light blinks so you know your recording.
It's easy to use, easy to setup. The on screen menus are slow to load but I don't need them as I only press one button on the remote ever. It has a built in editor but it didn't work that well. I just record on hard drive. Then take hard drive to my PC and edit footage.
I love this thing. If you use the splitter I linked it removes HDCP and you can even record streaming apps like NF and PSV.
You don't really need seperate cards, but the older consoles have more cheap options.
Here is capture card, you also need to buy a powered hdmi splitter with it: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00G9QTUVE
If you wanted a 30 FPS card instead of 60 (or if you don't have a computer with good USB 3.0 ports), you can save $40 and get the LGP lite instead.
You honestly don't even need a PC to record TV. This Capture Card records up to 1080i 60fps or 720p 60 fps through a component cable:
http://www.ncixus.com/products/?sku=65026&amp;vpn=MTVGCAPHD-C281&amp;manufacture=AVERMEDIA
You can put an HDD inside or a USB Stick and it'll record on that.
If you want to record 1080p 30 fps you case use this one:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/983193-REG/avermedia_c875_live_gamer_portable.html
If you want to record 1080p 60 fps I'm afraid you'll need a PC. This is the only capture card on the consumer market at the moment that records 1080p 60 fps:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G9QTUVE
If you choose this last option you also need a PC to record on. Something like this will do the work:

Keep in mind this is already an extremely overkill build. You can save up to 400$ without affecting the recording performances (but of course you will affect render times/games performances/material quality/everyday usage).
Hauppauge HD PVR Rocket, perfect for what you're looking for. Link
There's chinese noname capture cards like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MYWBG1I/
They obviously aren't perfect, see reviews before you buy. But that is like the cheapest option I know of (besides buying one from China directly for ~$50 with long shipping time)
You should be good with those. In particular you might want to bring it via component in particular if the camcorder supports it...then S-Video would be my second choice, and lastly composite.
Here's one for example that handles component: https://www.amazon.com/DIGITNOW-Capture-Converter-Adapter-Recorder/dp/B0747R2VMZ/
Some background: http://www.makify.com/composite-vs-s-video-vs-component/
Personally I used a Hauppauge Colossus II the last time I did this and the results were pretty good. Just those Hauppauge drivers are a pain! https://www.amazon.com/Hauppauge-Colossus-Express-Internal-HD-PVR/dp/B00WMJMDG6
As for the Firewire question, USB 3.0 should be a primary target if your PC supports it, but USB 2.0 should also likely be "ok" for DV camcorder quality footage. I'd pay the extra for USB 3.0 however, or go with an internal PCI capture card if your PC can support it.
Good luck!
any of the magewell usb devices work great. a bit pricey, but they work. I previously owned the 1080p60 one listed below, and upgraded to one that accepts 4k60 and downscales it to 1080p60, however i cant recommend it because it only accepts 4:2:0 input and ive had trouble using it with an hdmi switch to swap between my pc and consoles all running 4k
a cheaper option a lot of people ive spoken to have said they had success with is the imillet.

Seems like no one is getting your idea. If you only want to capture, edit and upload or stream directly, you don't need to spend too much. There are two important parts that you need to consider if your idea is to play and record from a console at 4k60: 1. A video capture card like Elgato 4k60 pro ($271 USD) 2. A HDMI splitter that let you play and record at the same time at 4k60 Gofanco Prophey splitter ($56 USD). For the build; if you are planning to edit on Adobe Premiere, I'd stay with Intel because you should use hardware encoding to reduce render times and Premiere only works with Intel Quicksync. For the GPU, I recommend Nvidia for stability and if you'd like to stream, the nvenc encoder is possibly the best option for OBS. Having a mid-high GPU opens the path of PC gaming at 1440p or 1080p.
The build I'm suggesting is $1232 USD for a grand total of $1,559 USD, leaving some spare cash for upgrading and buy other accessories(mouse, keyboard, webcam, headset, etc.). I highly recommend adding more storage (you're gonna need it for 4k recording) and maybe more RAM or better GPU.
Edit: If you don't mind a bit longer render times or not gonna use Premiere, you should go with 3rd gen Ryzen. Also, streaming high quality 4k video may be difficult, you should consider to scale it down to 1080p. Important: if you're planning to OC, you'll need a better cooler (maybe bequiet, noctua or liquid cooler).

that sucks.. I know even popular devices like a Tivo are somewhat difficult to get the files off it but it is possible to get them off and save them. I think some guy wrote software that reads the episode info and renames the files and moves them to your drive.
But I used a CableCard Tuner which had 4 tuners in it.. but you can get the same thing for Antenna ..
$89 Hauppauge 4 tuner for Antenna
https://www.amazon.com/HAUPPAUGE-WinTV-quadHD-Express-Tuner-1609/dp/B01DZSVLTW
or you can get a single tuner card for $15 like I have now and get it used off Ebay or amazon
even with a single tuner card on antenna only .. you set it for a show you want to record and it will record all future airings of it .. so it could record The Simpsons at 2am when you are sleeping.. soon enough you have so many shows and movies .. you just let it run and check on it every few days... look for new movies in the listings and schedule them to be recorded.

A 4K 60 capture card is not that expensive, at least for someone like Destiny.
I have the precursor to this one: https://www.amazon.com/AVerMedia-Definition-Commentate-Recorder-C285/dp/B00F890KXU/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1538422593&sr=1-2&keywords=avermedia%2Bgame%2Bcapture%2BII&th=1
It can record via component, so u can buy a component cable for your ps2 and use this.This should give you much better quality than with a composite capture card.it also records without computer.
there are cheaper one's out there, like the roxio & dazzle one's, but the quality drop is quite noticeable.
This is the cheapest device that will do 1080p @ 60fps capture.
But if you want quality and/or mic input available as well, then you will need to look at more expensive devices.
The Elgato HD60s is the standard for new streamers/uploaders
Buy a capture card and stick with elgato or the HDPvr. Depends on what type of computer you have which is best.
I've heard elgato is best on macs and HDPvrs are better with windows.
Also.... you WILL need an HDMI splitter that will filter out the HDCP that Ps3 has to prevent recording in HD or else you'll have to hook up through component and your quality will suffer.
Supposedly THIS one is the best and eliminates HDCP totally so you can hook up HDMI from PS3 to splitter, HDMI to capture device, then HDMI to laptop/pc and to the TV.
Personally, I have the HDPvr Rocket which is portable and can capture on the fly. You can hook it up hard wired or record freestanding to a SD Card. Its THIS one.
what's the best subreddit to enquire about how to get into streaming?
i want to get a capture card for my console and for my PC. i like the idea of a PCIe card but it would obviously make things difficult for the console card.
has anyone faced this dilemma and come up with a practical solution?
I use the Razer Ripsaw as it's a more all in one capture card as it has native support for PS1 - PS2 and have component cables too for Gamecube and Wii. It also does 60 FPS for newer consoles. However it's basically a reskin of Avermedia Extreme I just got the Ripsaw on the cheap. If you're looking to go crazy retro N64 down I reccomend the Elgato Game Capture HD but it only supports 30 FPS and some retro games ran @ 60 fps so it might look a bit weird on certain effects.
You can get an HDMI->USB adapter (not USB->HDMI) that captures video in real time and displays it on screen. But the ones with any sort of reasonable quality/performance are rather pricey:
real deal:
https://www.amazon.com/Magewell-XI100DUSB-HDMI-Capture-Video-Dongle/dp/B00I16VQOY
knockoff: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M64EAX6
budget: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I0QZMPE
Plus there is the HCDP stuff to deal with for movie content which is a big pain.
I just got this from Amazon the other day. Has Linux support, handles 1080p@60, and is just $150. Works well, though it does get a bit hot.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M64EAX6/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apap_EJJ1KcKKWXEAV
Alright so here's some stuff to get you started.
Blue snowball microphone.
AGPTEK MyPin capture device.
Both of these are "budget" solutions but should perform just fine for your needs. It's your call if you want to get a mic arm but I would suggest one, along with a pop filter.
The capture device should interface with OBS Studio without any major problems. It's a bit on the "no frills" side but from what I can gather it's still a pretty solid option.
Just be aware that you may run into HDCP issues with the Switch, where the capture device will refuse to accept the video stream. If that happens, you can just run the signal via a cheap HDMI splitter and it will take care of that.
AGPTek Game Capture
HDMI splitters and HDMI capture devices?
&#x200B;
I have had good luck with https://www.amazon.com/Magewell-HDMI-Video-Capture-Dongle/dp/B00I16VQOY/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3RQPBD8L5NYNI&keywords=usb+hdmi+capture&qid=1556715213&s=gateway&sprefix=usb+hdmi+cap%2Caps%2C143&sr=8-5
&#x200B;
The same company also makes this for caputreing 4 hdmi at the same time

&#x200B;
There are some network hdmi capture devices but I have not used any so I cant say which are good examples.
I use this
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00VM4J4Y6
Probably not the best option, but it's cheap and it record on a usb external hdd
Tanooki uses this thing, the "Portable Standalone PVR". I use something that's basically the same, but older and way more expensive to buy now because they don't make new ones anymore. No computer needed, just USB.
You gotta get some adapter cables to get it to work for Melee, because it doesn't have splitting or have direct composite inputs. Ask Tanooki or Ziggy Stardust for more info on what cables you should buy exactly, I'm not familiar enough with their devices to say for sure.
>Good composite setup - Avermedia C039, use a S-video cable for wii that has S video and composite. Plug the S video in to the capture card and the composite in to the TV and use splitters for audio. OBS has built in deinterlace software that works well.

So these?
I got a component capture card a long time ago for Wii; if I wanted to use it, should I try to buy a component to composite converter?
Yeah, you need a tuner card. They come in internal, USB, and networked varieties.
The latter two types can also be used with an Android TV box using the Live Channels app, as I mentioned before.
This is what I'm assuming you are talking about.
Anything wrong | with | these?
This one is fun! Okay so let's go numerical here.
Sorry this took awhile but I was digging deep on some of the titles you mentioned and video cards. A non-reference 1050ti will probably hit somewhere near 60 fps on Witcher but if you want to be sure stay with the 1060 6gb. I only hesitate since your goal is recording and I want you displaying at high quality.
Here is the same build with a great 60 hz monitor. Leaves plenty of room for a recorder. Note that the recorder was in USD.

I use a Roxio Game Capture that I got for $80CDN, but Amazon has for much cheaper, but apparently it only captures at 480p.
This model is component video only, but they have a more expensive model that does HDMI model as well.
It works well enough; does pass through video to your TV so you can play while capturing to your computer. Since the hardware does all the compression with the video, even a laptop with a modest C2D processor is able to handle it.
Here's a Roxio propaganda site and here's a video review I came across that seemed pretty fair to me.
The problem is they're all going to be compressed somewhat by the external device. If you want super-sharp grabs, you're going to need something better that doesn't do compression on its own, such as a frame buffer grabber like the Black Magic Intensity. Happily, they have come down in price quite a bit.
Hope that helps.
I did not realize I failed to respond to this beyond that. I apologize for that.
In terms of capturing game footage, you need go for a capture card. I would personally recommend one that is PCIe-based if possible. Could be any of these (all are Amazon US listings, check your local country or elsewhere if applicable):
If you are on a laptop, these obviously won't work, so you are stuck with this.
Then (assuming you have a webcam), in order to reconcile game footage with you and your friends playing, using a streaming software like OBS (or other variants like OBS Studio and Streamlabs OBS) means that you won't have to go back and do it in a video editing software like VEGAS Pro or Adobe Premiere, but it's good to have those to splice and export videos in the preferred format for places like YouTube.
The only way i have found to do this is with one of these. The HDMI is output only on the retina MacBookPro. An HDMI to USB capture card while expensive will work. The one I have linked to is the one I have my eye on.
Edit: The reviews seem to indicate little to no lag on this one.
For that kind of bandwidth (3 x 1080p) you will need to use a PCI express card. Something like the Magewell Pro Capture Card. Just make sure your PC has a PCI-e slot remaining and the power supply can handle the load. Plus you need a decent enough CPU and GPU to be streaming like this. If you were planning on doing this over USB3, it probably won't work.
for anyone wondering how. I bought one of these and a VCR from a thrift store ($6) and recorded using OBS. (to play the 8's I used the original camera which still worked)
My gaming machine is a 6700K, 1080ti.
My streaming machine is a 2700x with a 1070.
My capture card is Avermedia 4k: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DHSZC4K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
My mixer is this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0039PPW60/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I have an AT2035 for a mic.
From there it's just an xlr cord, a couple 1/4 to 3.5mm cord to hook to my gaming computer.
I have two https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000KUD2G4/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1 to keep the hum away that might happen.
You'll want to have your xbox output to a capture card like this and connect that to your laptop. Then set up OBS with twitchalerts/streamlabs/muxy for flashy on screen stuff and use your laptop to do the streaming :)
Use a capture device for capturing something like a game console. I use a StarTech capture device with my Wii U.
For PC, I use Open Broadcaster. It can be used for recording to your computer and for live streaming.
I use the avermedia extreme and it works really well. It has hdmi and component cables also works for regular RCA. Coaxial is a different story may need a converter for that but coax to rca is cheap.

Thank you so much for the explanation. I'd love to get a Framemeister or similar one day but it's out of my budget right now. By composite capture device, do you mean something like this? https://www.amazon.com/AVerMedia-Standard-Definition-Composite-C039/dp/B00603S1OS/
I'm thinking about using a capture box like this one. It supposedly saves video directly to a thumb drive.
Anybody think the AGPtek will work?
MYPIN HDMI Game Capture Card USB 3.0 HD Video 1080P 60FPS, Live Streaming Game Recorder Device Compatible with PS4, Xbox One,Wii U etc, Windows Linux Os X System https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074863G59/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_htqkDb6MJ2GSH
Or on eBay: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F162744717369
So if I buy a Capture card like the https://www.amazon.com/AVerMedia-GC573-Live-Gamer-4K/dp/B07DHSZC4K?th=1
I will be able to play any 1080p game 144hrz + and should not have any issue?
i did a bit of research and the one card i keep seeing pop up is this one https://solarisjapan.com/products/sc-512n1-l-dvi-component-hd-and-dvi-capture-board?variant=818046469
That thing costs as much as a solid GPU and I can't get myself to spend $300+ on a capture card. If I end up taking streaming/recording a bit more seriously then I can look into it but I was able to find the Elgato box I referenced for only $100. I don't think their newer models support component or svideo.
The other option I found was the Avermedia GC550 but its also a bit more in cost.
If you're looking to record on your Wii U, then you're probably going to want to use an HD PVR. The problem with this kind of capture card, is that it's a little bit pricey. You can get other capture cards for a lot less, but you will lose the ability to capture footage in High-Definition. Hauppauge makes pretty good equipment for this, but those capture devices run in the $150 range. Since you are on a budget, I'd see how one of these works. Personally I have never used that kind of card, but it is on the more affordable end.
Live commentary is pretty simple. Just record your voice while you play. Audacity is a great free program for this. If you're looking to do anything fancy, try the REAPER program for it's trial period and go from there. You'll also need a microphone that doesn't produce a lot of feedback. Snowball is pretty good for this.
Video editing is going to be expensive if you want good programs. I use Sony Vegas Pro 12, and that cost me quite a bit of money. But you can do it for free with Windows Live Movie Maker. If you want to do it cheap, Pinnacle has a video editor for around $60 dollars that isn't too bad.
To get your content out there you just have to keep working at it, that's all there really is to it. There are also places like this subreddit, or voltronarmy that let you promote your content in friendly communities of LPers.
Basic rules vary depending on your audience and style of play. Some people never do live commentary, others only do live commentary. Different LPers play different kinds of games, or make content that differs from playthroughs to go alongside their Let's Play series. As a general rule, avoid discussing your political and religious views so that you don't piss anyone off. The comments on your videos will be turned away from the video you just made and become some inane babble about why you should/should not believe something.
In my experience, integrated graphics is more than enough for a HTPC. In fact, a GPU may be a bad idea--especially a powerful one--as it draws more power. A HTPC will be running constantly and the less power draw, the better.
In all honesty, most of your money should go into storage, memory, and a quality case (for sound dampening and aesthetics). Also, I didn't know if you wanted to integrate live TV into your setup. For that I recommend either the DCR-2650 Dual CableCard Tuner (if you have a cable company that supplies a CableCard) or the HVR-2250 Dual TV Tuner Capture Card (if you cannot use a CableCard).
Damn. I was really hoping not spend more than about $65, which I know limits my options.
What about this Roxio? Do you (or anybody) have experience with it?
Cool, just making sure, since you linked to their site directly, this is the same one right?

Thanks for the comment! My son enjoyed reading it at the same time. To be honest, I doubt the age thing matters much after a certain point. I'll retain the title of this series for a while longer though for the sake of continuity.
We didn't really spend much to get a top-notch device and instead settled for this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VM4J4Y6?psc=1
We just capture videos with a USB stick, upload the video to a computer, and edit and compile with Windows Movie Maker. Simple enough for our basic purposes.
I use this capture card from Amazon & stream or record through OBS. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00WSAWZ1M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_mT2oDbD4MMVEH
If you want you can get a splitter so that you can play on your tv but still stream or record on OBS. (That exact splitter takes a while to ship though so you could shop around.) https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07RYXD4R3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_vV2oDbQ17F89X
all recommendations are from the Canadian Amazon but I'm sure you could find like-products
You're supposed to buy a pc recorder like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GEBVEI6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_XPfnDbE0TDVJE . Don't use an elgato for your PC screen
You could use a capture device like this. Picture quality will be unpredictable though.
Well, you can, but not exactly. Since you can't just load a Hi8 into your laptop's Hi8 drive, you'll have to use a capture device to record the contents of the Hi8 tape to a file on your computer. You'll need something like this (https://www.amazon.com/AVerMedia-Definition-Composite-Cyberlink-C039/dp/B00603S1OS/). Make sure you capture in interlaced if possible so you can put it though HandBrake to deinterlace it.
I've only bought the case, but this is what I was thinking: Elgato Game Capture HD60 Pro:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Elgato-superior-technology-hardware-encoding/dp/B015E3OT54/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1494686732&amp;sr=8-1-spons&amp;keywords=Elgato+Game+Capture+HD60+Pro&amp;psc=1
For a PC - you want something with a strong CPU, moderately ok GPU (we have a 970 in ours and that works fine). More importantly, you will need a capture card to capture the PS4's video. If you don't want to suffer any video / audio delay, you'll need either an internal card or an external with 3.0 USB. Decent cards with those specifications generally start at $200. Maybe $150 on sale.
From my experience, most people who with internal use the Elgato HD 60 Pro. For external, the Elgato HD60 S. They are simple to use without much setup.
Quad tuner card I intend to pick up for my HTC Zen 2 build when those chips drop. I knew I held in to my full copy license to windows 7 for some reason ;)
Edit: this is a pci-e card
https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01DZSVLTW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_p2qxCb97MGHJ1
Well, if you have a desktop computer, you can buy a TV capture card which will replicate all the functions of a smart TV set/DVR, but on your computer, so you can change channels, record or playback shows, and watch live TV, same as you would do with a normal setup.
It's normally set up to take a coaxial cable input, which both cable TV and most digital antennas have nowadays. So it should be rather easy to setup and configure.
Example: https://www.amazon.com/HAUPPAUGE-WinTV-quadHD-Express-Tuner-1609/dp/B01DZSVLTW/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=tv+tuner+card&amp;qid=1549720454&amp;s=electronics&amp;sr=1-3
Will this elgato work with my system build? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Elgato-superior-technology-hardware-encoding/dp/B015E3OT54/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1457095459&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=elgato
I'm using the AverMedia Live Gamer Extreme (GC550) atm for recording gameplay. It a great and cheaper (atleast in Germany) alternative to the Elgato Game Capture HD60S. Both are USB 3.0 streaming cards with really low delay if connected via USB 3.0 to your pc. The AverMedia one even comes with PS3 and component cable input next to the HDMI input.
black magics are great cards. I've used a few professionally.
This one is very reasonable :
https://www.amazon.com/Blackmagic-Design-Intensity-Capture-Playback/dp/B00U3QNP7Q/ref=pd_sim_147_2?_encoding=UTF8&amp;pd_rd_i=B00U3QNP7Q&amp;pd_rd_r=67GFEQSM7DRG4PZQHJ42&amp;pd_rd_w=bpa88&amp;pd_rd_wg=rHoPM&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=67GFEQSM7DRG4PZQHJ42
There's the Intensity Pro 4K.
There are cheaper options out there.
Yeah the HD60S or the HD60 Pro if you wanna put it in your PC. Or if you really wanna get fancy you can go with the 4K60 Pro for the 4K quality goodness!!
HD60S: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DRWCOGA/ref=emc_b_5_t
HD60 Pro: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014MQIVPS/ref=emc_b_5_t
4K60 Pro: https://www.amazon.com/Elgato-Game-Capture-4K60-Pro/dp/B076ZQBN6R
Although it does say that the regular HD60 can capture in 1080p60 as well. I have the HD60 Pro in my PC and have a PS4 Pro and it works fine

So two options:
I personally use it myself and it's the simplest version of "plug-and-play" I've ever seen. Never had any problems, amazing customer support and just general reputability. The price can be a bit steep so if you're trying to save a bit more:
https://www.amazon.com/AGPtEK-Capture-Video-Recorder-Support/dp/B01MYWBG1I/ref=sr_1_9?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1543023009&amp;sr=1-9&amp;keywords=capture+card
It does it's job, is effective but some of the reviews maybe need your consideration.
Hope this helps and best of luck with your PS2 games (MGS3 is God-tier IMO)!
https://www.amazon.com/AVerMedia-GC573-Live-Gamer-4K/dp/B07DHSZC4K/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8&amp;th=1
So you can start by using OBS https://obsproject.com/ to manage your sources. You can stream the sources to your server of choice using a guide on youtube. I can assist you later today on my discord if you'd like.
&#x200B;
The sources can be organized within a "Scene", which can be changed on the fly with pre-defined hotkey combos you set.
&#x200B;
An Elgato Stream Deck would indeed be a useful device to very quickly change to the scene you are looking for in an elegant way, and integrates into OBS.
&#x200B;
You can then use either 2 capture cards to send the scenes from the first two pc(let's label them)
&#x200B;
You have the Final Destination PC, (Webinar-PC), where you would send the sources from the Second PC(Software-PC) and the First (Presentation-PC.)
&#x200B;
The capture cards will be located within the Webinar-PC and you would send the output display into those to cards.
&#x200B;
Then within OBS, add two "Video Capture Device" sources and select each capture card.
&#x200B;
If you are only doing 1080P, you only need 1080P Capture cards. Any higher and You'll need a set of 4k capture cards.
&#x200B;
As for the cards themselves, you can use the Avermedia 4k card https://www.amazon.com/AVerMedia-GC573-Live-Gamer-4K/dp/B07DHSZC4K/ref=sr_1_5?crid=24SJC8MKYPOC5&keywords=avermedia+capture+card&qid=1558123394&s=gateway&sprefix=avermedia+ca%2Caps%2C145&sr=8-5
&#x200B;
or the Avermedia Ultra 4K https://www.amazon.com/AVerMedia-GC573-Live-Gamer-4K/dp/B07DHV47HF/ref=sr_1_5?crid=24SJC8MKYPOC5&keywords=avermedia%2Bcapture%2Bcard&qid=1558123394&s=gateway&sprefix=avermedia%2Bca%2Caps%2C145&sr=8-5&th=1 if you don't have a free PCI-E card; though using these will need access to a USB 3.1 (Gen 1) Type-C port on the Webinar-PC
&#x200B;
If you do not have that, you can use a https://www.amazon.com/Warmstor-Adapter-Converter-Support-Charging/dp/B073H1QVJZ/ref=sr_1_20?keywords=type+c+to+type+a+3.1&qid=1558123593&s=gateway&sr=8-20 converter.
&#x200B;
You do need to be aware of the USB bandwidth in that case, however. 4k raw footage exceeds the data throughput of 3.1 gen 1, and requires USB 3.2 Gen 2 2x2 speeds(20Gbps) as it can get up to 14Gbps. Or firewire.
&#x200B;
If you only need 1080P https://www.amazon.com/AVerMedia-Multi-Card-Low-Latency-Pass-Through-GC570/dp/B06XRF732W/ref=sr_1_3?crid=24SJC8MKYPOC5&keywords=avermedia%2Bcapture%2Bcard&qid=1558123758&s=gateway&sprefix=avermedia%2Bca%2Caps%2C145&sr=8-3&th=1
&#x200B;
And USB https://www.amazon.com/AVerMedia-Multi-Card-Low-Latency-Pass-Through-GC570/dp/B00005141S/ref=sr_1_3?crid=24SJC8MKYPOC5&keywords=avermedia%2Bcapture%2Bcard&qid=1558123758&s=gateway&sprefix=avermedia%2Bca%2Caps%2C145&sr=8-3&th=1
&#x200B;
As for your Camera, What kind of camera are we talking about? Webcam? DSLR? Mirrorless? Depending on the type depends on what you need.
Hauppauge does as well.
https://www.amazon.com/Hauppauge-Rocket-Portable-Recorder-Systems/dp/B00GEBVEI6/
I'd go with an AverMedia product though IMO.
Roxio Game Cap I've used both the HD and SD versions. They get a little more hate than I say they deserve. They do an admirable job and are usually heavily discounted on Amazon. If he has his own video editor this is perfect. It comes with one but it's not very good.
USB Microphone Fairly cheap but good rated USB Microphone. He can use Audacity, which is a free recording and sound editing program, along with this for his commentary.
That's about $80 but I don't know how much cheaper you could get. If he has a microphone already and computer games he can record there's always OBS, a free computer recording software. As far as a PS3 capture device though with a mic this is about as cheap as I can see. Certain gaming headsets are compatible with the PC if he has some Turtle Beaches or something. I hope this helped!
You will need a capture device such as this
http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Express-Video-Capture-1080p/dp/B007U5MGBE
I have no idea if that one is good or not, but this is the kind of device you are looking for. There really is not other good alternatives as far as I know.
I can't speak for whether or not your camera can output 60fps via HDMI, but what you do need for this setup is a way to connect that HDMI output into your PC which is what capture devices are for.
Your biggest issue here is that 1080p60 is not a standard video resolution and framerate combination, so it's not a very common option on professional equipment targeted at working with broadcast standard footage.
Instead you could look at 'gamer' oriented gear like that offered by AVerMedia. They're not as robust as professional equipment and might not play nicely with professional software, but they're easy and relatively cheap.
As far as I'm aware, Premier does not support 60fps capture, so you'll need to use additional software to capture the footage and encode it. The software that comes with the capture device should suffice - it won't be broadcast quality, but it will be 60fps and plenty good enough for web use.
for USB, the logitech c920 is very popular and looks great for the price. a digital camcorder would be an upgrade over the c920, but like others have said, going the non-webcam route will also require using a capture card.
Does everything that you said above about the DeckLink model also apply to their Intensity model as well? I kind of like the idea of having an HDMI pass-through, plus I don't know anything about "SDI Video" interfaces.
I also see a non-4K model of the DeckLink, does most of what you said about the 4K model (save for the 4K part) apply here too, or is the ~$50 saving not really worth it in the long run?
Link: https://www.amazon.com/HAUPPAUGE-WinTV-quadHD-Express-Tuner-1609/dp/B01DZSVLTW
Yeah, it's Plex's list of compatible devices. I think the only issue is the OS drivers. It's internal, PCIe.
https://www.amazon.com/Imillet-Capture-USB3-0-Drive-Free-Windows/dp/B01M64EAX6
It’s a offbrand magewell and a 150 dollars cheaper. Just plugs and plays with a Mac or a pc.
I didn't have this exact one, I had the HD60 and it worked horrible with Smash for Wii U so I switched to an AVerMedia ExtremeCap U3. It's not perfect (sound bug for the first ~2min when streaming) but I had nothing but problems with El Gato so I tend to stay away from their products now.
Use XSplit and either use something like a Magewell capture card that can take up to 4 HDMI inputs at once (for an all-in-one-box setup) or use the master stream PC running XSplit Broadcaster and set up NDI sources from the other PC's that will be running XSplit Gamecaster. Gamecaster takes the Audio/ Game Video/Webcam from the gaming PC's and turns them into NDI streams that you can then arrange in a scene (or multiple scenes) in Broadcaster.

Cheap, Quality, Easy: pick two.
Thank you so much for confirming with me. This has helped me come to a better understanding.
I just got into deeper contact with the company that did my splitter and they said it's due to these splitters not being able to process the 4K HDR signal to non-HDR 1080p "proportionally". It was mentioned on their Amazon page, but I didn't grasp what they meant by "proportionally". But whatever this actually means, it does mean that the Elgato cannot fully understand the signal and so it ends up dark/washed out.
As for my monitor getting no signal with HDR enabled, I don't think it's meant to be this way. I told them and they asked for my monitor EDID details, so I think 1080p monitors with the splitter (from 4K HDR to non-HDR 1080p) works just fine as long as the signal is supported. But when it comes to the signal for the Elgato, I don't think the Elgato supports it fully so it cannot work with it properly. I've contacted them for further explanation and details on all of it. Since I only care for capturing, me not being able to see a 1080p image on a monitor when HDR is enabled is not a game breaker, it was just to test if the product did any HDR properly or if it was falsely claimed, but it seems like in this case, it's down to the other product and how it takes a signal.
But details aside, no matter what, HDR will be washed out on the Elgato with these devices. I can only think of that AVerMedia GC573 Live Gamer 4K Capture Card which mentions HDR support as the only method if you truly want to play in 4K HDR and want a brighter/more colorful standard 1080p image.
The only other mention of a way to possibly play in HDR with normal capture is with that HDCP 1.4 splitter. Someone on the Amazon reviews mentioned this splitter to make the signal function properly with an Elgato, but this said reviewer did not try it themselves, so there is no confirmation it works.
As for me, I am just gonna turn off HDR for now when capturing or altogether even. I think I'll forget about it rather easily since I primarily game on PC with non-HDR monitor. I just play the few PS4 HDR exclusives on occasion (though more often recently).
Anyway, thanks again for posting and following up. This has helped me tremendously.
&nbsp;
P.S. Here's the email details written by them and not my translation (if you want their official details haha)
1) Color washing out issue due to HDR processing. As you've already seen, as soon as HDR is turned on, your 1080p signal gets washed out. Our Splitter can downscale from 4K to 1080p, but it can't process HDR in a 4K source signal to 1080p (non-HDR) proportionally. If there's such a thing as HDR in 1080p, then downscaling from 4K/HDR to 1080p/HDR wouldn't be an issue. Additional scalers are needed in order to downscale HDR from a 4K signal into a non-HDR 1080p signal. This color washing out issue is what you're seeing with your Elgato capture. Unfortunately, there's no solution for this issue currently.
2) For the signal issue with your 1080p monitor, could you please send me the make and model for this monitor? If possible, please help extract the monitor's EDID information for us to analyze. Attached are some instructions for extracting the monitor's EDID information.
For your setup, you only need to keep the EDID DIP switch setting at default (all up).
OK.
Capture cards range from the basic ElGato HD60 Pro, to professional grade Magewell cards.
I think... you would probably be happy with the 4K60 Pro MK.2 or the AVerMedia Live Gamer 4K. Both push the full HDMI 2.0 bandwidth, meaning they can support 4K60FPS or 1080p240 inputs. You wont be able to push that to twitch, but you would be able to record that locally on the stream machine with a faster SSD. If you want to record at a rate that high you would need a Samsung 970 EVO Plus or better though because the write speeds required are enormous.
After those two cards you are getting into diminishing returns so I wont go there.
/u/JelloSlapper - it depends on your budget, but I recommend an [$89.99CDN Riiai YK930 two input HDMI capture card] (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01MYTG65P/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=hybrcamerevo-20) instead of the [$219.95CDN single input Elgato HD60 S] (https://www.amazon.ca/Elgato-Game-Capture-HD60-technology/dp/B01DRWCOGA//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=hybrcamerevo-20) or a really [expensive $1165CDN quad capture card] (https://www.amazon.ca/Magewell-XI-400-DE-HDMI-ProCapture-Quad-HDMI/dp/B0178DV064//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=hybrcamerevo-20).
With the YK930, you can get the HDMI output from both your X70 and your GH5 into the computer.
From there, you can mix the two cameras with vMix, as suggested by /u/frozen_flame77.
Hope this is helpful and good luck with setting up your stream!
Something like this?
I'd seen that, but the 'capture card' title threw me off a bit since I'm more interested in just playing rather than capturing. But I assume there's software that can just play the incoming video instead of capturing it?
more specifically op needs this. op will also need to get a cablecard from his cable company to use with it.
Try finding one of these and connect it to XBOX and as an audio-in on your PC and configure Windows to play its sounds to your headphones.
Alternatively you could try looking for one of these to have HDMI in while using Windows. It's a bit pricy and overkill for what you're looking though.
I'm not sure if either of these will work though, it's a shot in the dark.
If you wanted to use DirecTV, you'd have to use a capture device such as one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Hauppauge-Gaming-Definition-Capture-Device/dp/B008ZT8QKO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1451857862&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=hdpvr, http://www.amazon.com/Elgato-Capture-PlayStation-gameplay-1080p/dp/B00840353W/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1451857862&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=hdpvr, http://www.amazon.com/Hauppauge-Colossus-Express-Internal-HD-PVR/dp/B00WMJMDG6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1451858007&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=hauppauge+colossus+2, or https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/intensitypro4k then run it through a program such as VideoRedo (http://www.videoredo.com/en/Products_TVSuite_V5.html) which has built it commercial detection. VideoRedo only works for Windows but there are perhaps similar but not as seamless options for linux. VideoRedo does the job well and can't be easier to use. Well worth the money.

This contest was soooo fun. Happy cake day!
I don't have personal experience with it, but the AVerMedia Game Capture HD2 looks like a good option. Works as a stand alone box with HDMI in and through, records to an internal HDD without needing USB for data or power. one drawback is that it can't be used as capture into a PC, unlike other AVerMedia products.
Like the one you linked it's under $150 but it's not clear if it includes a HDD, so might be worth a look.
You'll need something like this, Stream Recorder to convert it to a webcam.
To be honest, there's no way to really do this without either buying a capture card or having someone else that does do it for you.
This is because games like COD or Halo that record gameplay don't record video but instead record actions done by players and kind of replays itself in-engine. They do this because you can record an absurd amount of matches without using almost any hard drive space and because it uses almost no resources for the game to record like this.
You can get a really cheap capture card for USB if you don't mind standard definition and it will work easily on even older laptops.

I'm in the same boat. They do have a new one coming out soon. It's $399.95 though and that's too rich for my blood. If I were a full time streamer, no problem. Hopefully the pricing will come down for the holidays, or early next year.

I would suggest XSplit over OBS for event broadcasting, its much better. You could just get a trial for the event if you aren't ready to pay for the service for awhile.
Bigger question is what kind of computer are you streaming from for the event? Knowing that would help to figure out what kind of capture card you should get.
My suggestion without knowing your full setup would be just getting a Magewell Quad Capture HDMI and then get the BlackMagic SDI to HDMI convertors for the two SDI connections.
http://amzn.to/2dp4gJS - SDI to HDMI convertor

My capture card - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074863G59/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Everything is set up fine but the green LED on the card is flashing green and yellow back and forth when it's just supposed to be green. I supposed this was because I hadn't gotten any firmware for it, but when I typed in the URL the manual says is the update, it leads me to a 404. The source shows up on OBS but at 720p 30 fps, it freezes for about 10-20 seconds at a time and then plays about 2 or 3 frames just to freeze again. When changed to 480p, it doesn't seem to freeze but it's about 10 fps. I've watched and read reviews and they're positive, so this wasn't any scam. Could someone help me out with this? There's even a recent review on the Amazon reviews where the person apparently got it to work (complained about audio but that's a different matter). Thanks in advance, I don't know why it's not working!! Ugh!!
EDIT: Found out the card only flashes green and yellow when OBS is actually running the Video Capture Device and it's activated. When I'm not in OBS it's just a green light.
Finally a question I can actually answer. For just normal Red/Yellow/White A/V cables I use this setup.
Option 1
Is there any reason you want HDMI? You can keep steps 1 and 2 from above and use something like this instead.
I can also answer any question you have.
I was definitely rocking all of these things!

I got these all for reviews and more but I’m lazy. I got some from groups, some from emails, and some from more people. My account was put on review restriction a couple months following the code era and into the PayPal era. PayPal was much harder for amazon to deal with.
You're right - although while googling I found this, http://amzn.to/1QbJaK7 , a capture card that records to an external hard drive. Never used it so not sure how well it would work, and I think you'd need an external monitor, but maybe a possibility!
I'd also recommend trying out the software OBS to record, you can tell it to use CPU or GPU to record(not sure your computer specs but could be a better solution)
I'll be getting mine on Sunday so I'll let you know how it works.
I bought this one for reference: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DZSVLTW
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WSAWZ1M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I used this for my Pi ambilight clone. Should do the job easily since it works out of the box with Linux.
I just ordered https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MYWBG1I
Will that work?
Are you doing it live? If not, you could take something like a game recorder, record the whole game, then edit certain clips of what you're choosing to talk about. I've used something like this previously: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VM4J4Y6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Nothing fancy but it works well. Something like onemanshownetwork referred to works just as well. Depends on your preference.
My capture card has HDMI, which captures audio and video from the camera, but I would like to capture a 2nd audio source from my Tascam as well.
EDIT: This is my capture device. It does not have a separate audio in
I'm using a Haupage WinTV-QuadHD PCI Express TV Tuner Card
I just installed it in the PCI Express slot, downloaded and installed the Windows drivers and it worked. If your card isn't working then make sure that the drivers are installed. You can look at your device manager in Windows to see if any devices are not installed correctly.
I bought this to use on my macbook. Works great, I just use it to play on my laptop screen while traveling.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G9QTUVE?psc=1&amp;redirect=true&amp;ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
You'll want USB 3.0 to make sure you don't have lag though.
Will that ITX be able to accommodate a tuner card?
Thinking something along these lines: Hauppauge Colossus 2 PCI Express Internal 1080p HD-PVR - http://amzn.com/B00WMJMDG6
Unless there is a preferred tuner card at /r/buildapac...
Maybe you could use this, but I have no experience with it.
For a cheaper device, there's the ExtremeCap U3 which can do 60 FPS and negligible lag, but you're limited to stereo sound.
Unfortunately, when you want 1080p/60 with multichannel sound, afaik, there are no consumer level devices. You'll need to be willing to spend $1000 or more. And when 4k comes, it will get even higher. Unfortunately, USB3 won't be able to handle 4k, so you'd need an internal PCI card. (And hard disks themselves aren't fast enough to capture uncompressed 1080p without working in tandem).

Mine is the $135. Really enjoyed it, but I'm not streaming/recording anymore. I'm a firm believer in the AVermedia products.

Lowest it has ever been.
This is not true. If he invests in a Capture card which supports compression and realtime encoding. Like this https://www.amazon.com/Elgato-Game-Capture-HD60-Pro/dp/B015E3OT54/
But keep in mind that your mainboard needs to support the throughput.
Everything from hdmi to twitch is done on the card, almost no cpu power required. You still need to mix in your webcam thou.
If you want to do that with hardware you would need one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079Y77R71/
and some hdmi splitters. A hdmi cam etc.
