Hello, great informative video. A question, I want to potentially take a show that I enjoy off of my television into my computer. After watching this video and if I purchase this, how exactly do I get the sound to get transferred as well is it basic plug-and-play or is it something that I have to do specifically within my television or within this device. Any information would be helpful for reference I’m using an Emerson TV and I would like to be plugging it into my Mac air I really do appreciate it again

At last a very real world test for this what is fast becoming a "Miracle Device", it would be interesting to see what existing capture card companies think about this product, and to see how they are going to react with perhaps new offerings to persuade us to loosen our wallets. What does excite me though, is that this device has now made it possible for those individuals who may not have had the funds to purchase a decent capture device, and no doubt over the next few months we are going to see an explosion of content be it good or bad.

@ThriftyAV 4 жыл бұрын

This little device is great, but we should keep in mind that at 1080p, it is a generation behind the resolution curve, and a generation behind on it's interface, USB 2.0. Also, it is pretty stripped down with no pass through and no ability to add anything to the HDMI signal. I imagine the big boys will be concentrating on 4K USB 3 devices with lots of bells and whistles. That being said, this little device is a game changer for anyone needing to work with 1080p or less. Converting TO HDMI has been affordable for awhile: VGA to HDMI, composite A/V to HDMI, component vid to HDMI, S-Video to HDMI, optical to HDMI, and more. Plus all the native HDMI devices like cable boxes, DVRs, Roku, Firestick, Chromecast, game consoles. But if you wanted to do more than just output the HDMI being converted, that has been a barrier. This device breaks that barrier. Thank you for your comment.

I appreciate how completely you test various products. Question: will this device work to capture streams from services which embed coding that prevents capturing? Like Amazon Prime, or Hulu, which allow programs such as Camtasia to record audio but not video. I want to be able to use dual laptops to achieve the desired result. Am I thinking this through correctly? The signal flow will be 1) Stream to laptop A; 2) Device; 3) Connect to laptop B; 4) Capture software (i.e. Camtasia).

I use this very same capture card to record all my gameplay videos. I used to use the Windows camera app until I found out it wouldn't let me record videos longer than 3 hours. I switched to OBS Studio, I use an Orei HDMI splitter and for retro consoles I just use a cheap AV to HDMI converter. Over a year ago I watched this review and it helped me to make the decision of buying this capture card as I was always interested in recording my gameplay. This was a great video and thanks for the help.

how do you fix the audio on this HDMI video capture?

@hedwyn8803 2 жыл бұрын

Someone here mentioned that the capture has a separate audio source that Thrifty AV wasn't using ^^

The folks who say this captures at 60fps are incorrect.

can this be use to connect a 2nd monitor on my laptop? it doesn't seem to work

No. The HDMI on this device is input only, for capture.

Hi! Can I use this to use my canon powershot camera as a webcam?

@ThriftyAV 3 жыл бұрын

My old PowerShot A630 does not have an HDMI output. If your PowerShot has HDMI output, it should work as a webcam, if not, it will not work as a webcam with this device.

The stupid thing came with no instructions for what software to use. Thanks for showing us. Any suggestions for even better capture software?

OBS has a learning curve, but it is both powerful and free (open source).

Does the HDMI Capture device get hot? I don’t need audio as I’ll be using professional mic setup... Thanks

No, it barely gets warm. Someone else on KZfaq did a torture test where then streamed with it for several days, and it worked fine the whole time.

When you plug everything in does it just pop up by itself in the camera app?

@ThriftyAV 3 жыл бұрын

Yes. Driver loaded up automatically when I plugged it in. You can then launch the camera app, and it comes up as video source by default.

I tried using this for some of my gaming consoles. It looks good in obs but when I record the capture and then play it back it's very choppy

Then it's most likely your capture settings, which are presumably either too low, or use a different framerate than the source video.

Would something like this be able to record my MacBook’s screen if I plug in an hdmi to hdmi cable?

@ThriftyAV 5 ай бұрын

I'm a PC guy, but I think you would need a 2nd computer. If you are wanting to capture your MacBook's screen with the same MacBook, I would look for a software option.

@candyKane117i 5 ай бұрын

@@ThriftyAV That makes sense, thanks. I also discovered the MacBook’s hdmi port it output only, so software it is.
