But wait!
So first, the device comes with all clear what you give him to eat, it was a PS3 via the component or a PS4 with off HDCP (HDCP-capable HDMI splitter makes the shutdown but obsolete) or a Wii, a Wii U or God knows ... the thing takes it. Prerequisite are enough cable and the right connections.
The Hauppauge is supplied with a software ArcSoft Show Biz called. Why, why, why? I do not know, you do not need. The Hauppauge capture software you load from the side down (for free) and there you go. Can be added to every conceivable resolutions with different bit rates, the volume is adjustable, direct upload to Youtube is working properly.
The raw materials are about 3 gigabytes at 1080p and 60 frames, after conversion to the Youtube-friendly MP4 approximately 1-2 gigabytes. The conversion is done by pressing a button, the software makes it of their own accord and even converted in the H.264 codec, which is so often used by Youtube.
The only drawback to the whole structure, the resulting cable clutter. With us the HDMI cable goes from the PS4 in the speck from there then separates from an HDMI cable to the TV and another HDMI cable comes in the Hauppauge, the video and sound then leads directly via HDMI into the recording device, with us the laptop. Worked until after it was switched off the HDCP on the PS4.
Why HDCP must be switched off?
HDCP is an encryption that is designed to prevent data between sender and receiver are tapped. So between the transmitting antenna and our TV example. With us, the sender would be the PS4 and the recipient of the laptop. But as we tap the data stream with the Hauppauge, HDCP prevents the absorption, so it must be switched off.
So.
My conclusion: Super recorder to recommend at any time.
