Yo. Just wondering. Can you just plug it into a USB on your PC then loop the HDMI cord to your graphics card?
@Activater 3 жыл бұрын
Like, take the signal from the capture card and send it out of your graphics card? Technically you could do this, but it would still have the delay effects as you have in OBS. basically, you'd need to plug that HDMI cable from the GPU to a tv or monitor so that your pc would recognize it. Then with OBS, you would right click the main preview, then select "full screen projector preview, then select that tv or monitor. it will send whatever is on your obs to your TV/monitor. However, you could also right click on ANY source and project that to the tv/monitor by itself. Just need to make sure you right click on the source itself rather than the main obs preview monitor. Hope this helps!

I have gotten this capture card and had no idea a splitter was needed as it was not mentioned with it. this seemed like it could just be plug and use but my question is the hookup how do you get this to display the picture on the tv? I am missing the splitter portion and seems hard to play in obs due to there lacking sound and my preview screen has most of the large sized screen cut off so that is my other issue. is there anyway to get ps4 to display on the tv while using this thing?
@Activater 2 жыл бұрын
I mean, you don't really need a splitter unless you're trying to do a specific thing. However, you are trying to do more than just capture the image. Couple things you can do: -Splitter: You need this to show on a TV/record on a PC. Some capture cards have this built in sort of but with this specific usb capture card, you need a splitter unless you can plug your PC into your TV and play on that? -Sound: Make sure when you hook up your capture card that audio is being sent out of the HDMI device. Then, in OBS, you add a video capture device. At the bottom of that screen, you can see "use custom audio". Select "USB Audio". Then, in your "Audio Mixer" area in OBS, select the little settings cog next to your audio and go to advance audio properties. From there, you can tell your audio to "monitor and output" which will play your audio to your default audio device like your speakers/headphones. -Preview screen cut off: Right click your video source, go to "Transform" and select "fit to screen". Your canvas may be set to 720p so if your capture card is set to 1080, it'll get cut off. PS4 on your TV/OBS: I made a video for this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdShqdN4l57Pmqs.html

@Activater 3 жыл бұрын
It's most likely your ISO on the camera being too high. Do a test, where it currently is for your OBS setup, just hit record on your camera itself. Once you record a few seconds, take the camera outside and adjust the settings (ISO first, then shutter speed) so you can see outside and record again. Take those files and put them into your OBS as media sources and just look at them. Most likely the outside will look good. The key is to get the lowest possible number on your ISO as well as your F-Stop of your lens. Then you want to keep your shutter speed at about 1/50 or 1=/30. If you can't see after setting the settings, you gotta increase the light in your space.

Bryan Agahan I use a splitter because I run my gaming on an Xbox. So for me to have as little video latency as possible for my games I split the hdmi signal to my monitor for gaming and to the capture card for the pc to be captured in SLOBS. I’m f you’re all PC based you won’t need a splitter

Hey can you help me I'm trying to find out how to set up one of those capture cards and the HDMI splitter to live stream and record videos with my Android phone which is an Alcatel 3 to PC. Can you tell me if that's possible? And how? I don't know if you can explain and if it would be easier through Instagram (PhaeOfficial). Please and thank you
@Activater 3 жыл бұрын
Hey Phae, connecting your phone isn't always super easy. If your device has a cable that can send out an HDMI signal, then it's EZ PZ where you just connect that cable to your phone and then to the capture card/splitter to send the signal to your PC. However, if there isn't a cable that supports that for your device, you'll need to either put an android emulator on your PC and play there or send your phones image to your PC via usb or wirelessly with an screen mirroring application. Ill try to find a good app, but check this article in the meantime to find something that could work: fossbytes.com/android-screen-mirroring-apps-pc/amp/

Depends on what you're trying to do. If you just want to capture your gameplay while playing from inside OBS, you can do that with just plugging your Xbox one to the capture card and previewing it inside of OBS. If you want to game at a lower refresh rate from the little lag that this capture adds, you'll need a splitter to have another HDMI cable plug directly into a tv/monitor for no latency.

Fixing it for your viewers can be easy if you're monitoring on your phone. However, if you're listening to the audio from your pc, I'm not sure the fix. The delay will always be there unless you send the signal to your headphones clean from the hdmi. Running through OBS will add delay. Can you plug into the phone with your headphones? 2 ideas: 1. Run a line from your headphone jack on your phone to your PCs mic input or something that can be listened to. 2. Get bluetooth headphones for your phone and monitor your game with those. If you have little bluetooth headphones and normal headphone for your pc, you could wear both to also monitor your alrets/etc. from your PC.

@Activater 3 жыл бұрын
The recording looks bad? Looks like it's the encoding settings that are too low maybe. Test this in your encoder settings in OBS: (Make sure to look at the the advanced options rather that the "simple options". This is a drop down menu at the top of one of the settings pages. This is also pretty generic settings but hopenit helps!) (If you got an RTX Card) Encoder: NVENC Bit rate: 6000-8000 kbps Quality: max quality (If you have a decent CPU) Encoder: x264 Bit rate: 6000 kbps Quality: fast or faster. (The faster = less quality but might be needed to run your games better) (If you have a budget PC) Encoder: NVENC or x264 Bit rate: 3500-5000 kbps Quality: max quality or very fast Bit rate will affect quality a lot but you can't go over 6000-8000 on Twitch. Encoder will tax your machine to get a video to your viewers. An rtx card will make this not a big deal. But using your CPU(x264) to encode will potentially cause your game performance to suffer. For recordings, just set the bit rate to like 15-20,000 and you'll be happy.
