I bought the device for recording of screen outputs. You can connect the output of the PC via HDMI directly to the box. The signal can then be looped through to another output device. The menu is built into the monitor signal. The recording can take place either on a hard disk, which can be used in the Game Capture Box, or to an external device via USB. I have so far received only on an external USB drive, which works flawlessly - discounts for 3 hours at a stretch. The recording is done in MP4 format, the image quality is top. The resolution can not be set - the Box takes what comes. For the recording of PC spending (such as video montages external camera and monitor) to recommend without restrictions.
