There can be a little bit of lag with this method I recommend probably getting a higher end up/down scaler that helps some. But I haven't noticed a lot.

@@scottb_02 To add to this, if u r using no lag av splitter to crt tv, then you can use a laggy cheap hdmi converter for capture no problemo because u r not looking at the hdmi output. Can save a few bucks there
Hey, I did this many years ago with RCA splitters and an Egato Game Capture HD 1st gen that has an AV and component input. I think this is easier than the two AV to hdmi adapters. Kind regards
Analog to digital and digital to analog conversions have to create a ton of lag. Instead of spending money on all these lag creating converters you could just put the money towards a mister fpga.... You can output hdmi and analog simultaniously with almost no lag. Plus you get component and rgb support and the ability to play all 4,8,16 bit consoles, plus neo geo,psx, arcade etc....
@@Garethsmod I agree as well. If im just playing then I use original equipment but for capturing ,mister is the way to go although fpga cyclone boards are suffering supply shortages so options are good. But the benefit of original hardware on a crt is sub 1 frame lag which youll loose with so many digital / analog conversions. Mister isnt emulation, its cycle accurate hardware based reproduction. Can use original controllers with daemonbite adapters with sub 1ms lag. This is a good method for just casual capture on the cheap though but would split the analog signal first so only 1 digital analog conversion is needed.
@@LameGaming The MiSTer is cool, but this advice is not useful at all if you have all the old hardware and are just trying to stream/record it though. I would assume this is the situation for anyone who is watching the video.

why aren't you just using a distribution amp on the composite signal? that way you don't get image distortions on the television from converting it twice
I recently got some very pricey gamecube component cables and would love to record their gameplay from my Sony Trinitron CRT, but I'm wondering if using component- instead of composite, will make a difference for the adapters needed? Would I needed a Component->HDMI, and HDMI->Component converter, or am I overthinking this?
Yeah you probably would. I recently stopped doing it this way all together and just went back to using a DVD recorder. It may seem a little more primitive using discs and ripping them to the computer but overall the quality is the best and in 4:3 format for older games. Quality is better in terms of color and brightness anyway. And the DVD recorder I use has component plugs so if you can get your hands on one I'd actually recommend that instead.

Forgive my ignorance if this is a stupid question, but is the aux to hdmi and Hdmi to aux converter the same thing? Could I use two of the same? Or Is there seperate models to use (one for hdmi to RCA and one for RCA to hdmi). Thanks 👍
Great question! They are separate. For example 1 will say input next to the hdmi and the other would say input next to the aux. Thankfully you should be able to find both of them in the same place though depending on where you get them. I got both of mine from walmart.

Thanks for the video, but I'm still a bit stuck.. I have a niche example maybe. I'm looking to stream Rock Band 2 off my Xbox 360 while playing on my Sony Trinitron CRT TV. I've got the same setup, AV cords into a converter and HDMI into the Elgato. Then HDMI out of it and into another converter turning into AV which then feeds into the TV. When using StreamLabs it's near impossible to not experience a crash within 5 minutes. OBS seems to be stable for about 30 minutes before going black. Just wondering if you've experienced this, or know what could be causing it? Is there not an easier way to split up the conversion? SOS!
Hmm... I think that would be an issue with the software. Though it is weird it's happening on both softwares. As far as making the conversion easier maybe find an AV to HDMI cord and an HDMI to AV cord rather than having the converters that run straight into the capture card and into the TV. I'm not sure about the screen going black though. Do you have the converters plugged into the wall as well?
@KaptainKlassic I appreciate the reply! Yeah I thought it was strange that both OBS and StreamLabs had the same issue, although OBS not being the worst. Just sucks having to restart my PC every 30 min lol. I'll have to look into the cords, and my converters are powered by USB, so they're plugged into my PC, not the wall.
@@ReFluXVeLoCiTy maybe try plugging the converters into a power strip or the wall instead of into the PC. That could be the problem if they disconnect or something
@KaptainKlassic just tested plugging into the wall directly, same issue. Loaded up the computer, opened OBS, screen said One Moment, Please Wait... but I could see the game fine on the TV.
@@ReFluXVeLoCiTy hmm I've always had struggles with the elgato honestly. I assume that's the capture card you use? I wonder if a different capture card would solve it.
Hey can you do this but with component cables/output? I'm using Sony PVM 20M4U, super useful info for people want to get streaming while still playin on the CRT.
Hey thank you I appreciate that! I'm not sure only because I use an elgato which is HDMI but if the Sony pvm has the component cable output then it should work.

In order to make this work with my switcher, all i would need to do is replace the console in your diagram (3:21) with my switcher box, right?

That wouldn't be a bad idea. I have a couple av splitters but it would have to have an HDMI input for that to work which mine don't. Quality is still really good either way though. Thanks for watching man!
@@KaptainKlassic based on your reply not sure if you understod me right. AVB splitter will output 2 sets of av outputs. One to crt and one into your hdmi adapter. Just one hdmi adapter needed this way. And the awqesome benefit of this, u can use cheap hdmi splitters becuase u wil have zero input lag on the crt u look at, and the input lag while recording is a total non issue becuase u r not loking at your hdmi, just recording. For people that dont need crt, they really must buy a more expensive hdmi converter with zzero lag, otherwise there can be HUGE lag on the cheaper devices, we be talking, like up to nearly 1'4 second input lag! Cheap ones too won't scale your retro 240p imnage right either, itll work, and if on a budget, great, but they mangle 240p sources most of them treating them as 480i and improper upscaling. BUt seerviceable if on a tight budget just to shoot a bit of footage if also using a zero lag crt mirroring technique.

Final advice. I have a 1 in and 4 out analog av splitter. No lag and not signal loss as it is powered.
Good for you for offering real advice, this setup is a joke!

@@scottb_02 To add to this, if u r using no lag av splitter to crt tv, then you can use a laggy cheap hdmi converter for capture no problemo because u r not looking at the hdmi output. Can save a few bucks there
Great video, Thank you!
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the help.
I was looking to start a gaming channel eventually and this helped.
Glad I could help! Good luck with your channel!
thanks for the help.. right to the point and well explained
No problem! Thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed.
But what tv are you playing from the old tv or the new one ?
Hey, I did this many years ago with RCA splitters and an Egato Game Capture HD 1st gen that has an AV and component input. I think this is easier than the two AV to hdmi adapters. Kind regards
Analog to digital and digital to analog conversions have to create a ton of lag.
Instead of spending money on all these lag creating converters you could just put the money towards a mister fpga.... You can output hdmi and analog simultaniously with almost no lag.
Plus you get component and rgb support and the ability to play all 4,8,16 bit consoles, plus neo geo,psx, arcade etc....
Some people like me prefer playing on original hardware.
@@Garethsmod I agree as well.
If im just playing then I use original equipment but for capturing ,mister is the way to go although fpga cyclone boards are suffering supply shortages so options are good.
But the benefit of original hardware on a crt is sub 1 frame lag which youll loose with so many digital / analog conversions.
Mister isnt emulation, its cycle accurate hardware based reproduction. Can use original controllers with daemonbite adapters with sub 1ms lag.
This is a good method for just casual capture on the cheap though but would split the analog signal first so only 1 digital analog conversion is needed.
@@LameGaming The MiSTer is cool, but this advice is not useful at all if you have all the old hardware and are just trying to stream/record it though. I would assume this is the situation for anyone who is watching the video.
I understand but you have to think, this video is about specifically capturing it on a CRT TV with original hardware.
Is auxiliary same as composite??

Console->AV cable->AV to hdmi splitter>HDMI cable->capture card->HDMI cable->HDMI to AV cable->TV
You mean an HDMI to AV cable rather than another converter? If so yes that should also work
Hello, sir. I just wanted to ask you if you’ve ever heard of a distribution amp? You can eliminate a couple of boxes using one.
Thank you so much brother! Also, how would I stream on Twitch?

Awesome tutorial.

why aren't you just using a distribution amp on the composite signal? that way you don't get image distortions on the television from converting it twice
I recently got some very pricey gamecube component cables and would love to record their gameplay from my Sony Trinitron CRT, but I'm wondering if using component- instead of composite, will make a difference for the adapters needed? Would I needed a Component->HDMI, and HDMI->Component converter, or am I overthinking this?
Yeah you probably would. I recently stopped doing it this way all together and just went back to using a DVD recorder. It may seem a little more primitive using discs and ripping them to the computer but overall the quality is the best and in 4:3 format for older games. Quality is better in terms of color and brightness anyway. And the DVD recorder I use has component plugs so if you can get your hands on one I'd actually recommend that instead.
A real, quality converter like the Retrotink 2x will do this, not that cheap Chinese crap he uses.

Problem with this solution is that it looks like shite after you push it trough all converters.
Forgive my ignorance if this is a stupid question, but is the aux to hdmi and Hdmi to aux converter the same thing? Could I use two of the same? Or Is there seperate models to use (one for hdmi to RCA and one for RCA to hdmi).
Thanks 👍
Great question! They are separate. For example 1 will say input next to the hdmi and the other would say input next to the aux. Thankfully you should be able to find both of them in the same place though depending on where you get them. I got both of mine from walmart.

Thanks for the video, but I'm still a bit stuck.. I have a niche example maybe.
I'm looking to stream Rock Band 2 off my Xbox 360 while playing on my Sony Trinitron CRT TV. I've got the same setup, AV cords into a converter and HDMI into the Elgato. Then HDMI out of it and into another converter turning into AV which then feeds into the TV.
When using StreamLabs it's near impossible to not experience a crash within 5 minutes. OBS seems to be stable for about 30 minutes before going black.
Just wondering if you've experienced this, or know what could be causing it? Is there not an easier way to split up the conversion?
SOS!
Hmm... I think that would be an issue with the software. Though it is weird it's happening on both softwares. As far as making the conversion easier maybe find an AV to HDMI cord and an HDMI to AV cord rather than having the converters that run straight into the capture card and into the TV. I'm not sure about the screen going black though. Do you have the converters plugged into the wall as well?
@KaptainKlassic I appreciate the reply! Yeah I thought it was strange that both OBS and StreamLabs had the same issue, although OBS not being the worst. Just sucks having to restart my PC every 30 min lol.
I'll have to look into the cords, and my converters are powered by USB, so they're plugged into my PC, not the wall.
@@ReFluXVeLoCiTy maybe try plugging the converters into a power strip or the wall instead of into the PC. That could be the problem if they disconnect or something
@KaptainKlassic just tested plugging into the wall directly, same issue. Loaded up the computer, opened OBS, screen said One Moment, Please Wait... but I could see the game fine on the TV.
@@ReFluXVeLoCiTy hmm I've always had struggles with the elgato honestly. I assume that's the capture card you use? I wonder if a different capture card would solve it.
Hey can you do this but with component cables/output? I'm using Sony PVM 20M4U, super useful info for people want to get streaming while still playin on the CRT.
Also subscribed! Hidden gem!
Hey thank you I appreciate that! I'm not sure only because I use an elgato which is HDMI but if the Sony pvm has the component cable output then it should work.
You would need to use a quality converter not that cheap Chinese crap he uses. Retrotink 2x or the like, and don’t add lag to your beautiful, PVM;

Hey, I need some help/advice please!!!
I have an rca switcher that I plug all my consoles into (ps1, ps2, nes, snes etc). In order to make this work with my switcher, all i would need to do is replace the console in your diagram (3:21) with my switcher box, right? Like id plug all my consoles into the switcher, then plug the output into the converter and so on?
Also if this would work, would there be input lag?
Any advice is welcome, im sure this should work just want to make sure :p
Correct! I can't promise there won't be lag with the switcher but you could give it a try.

What model and brand is that CRT? Looks very 80s
A better way. An av splitter powered kind. Then a single aux to hdmi. Better quality this eay and cheaper.
That wouldn't be a bad idea. I have a couple av splitters but it would have to have an HDMI input for that to work which mine don't. Quality is still really good either way though. Thanks for watching man!
@@KaptainKlassic based on your reply not sure if you understod me right. AVB splitter will output 2 sets of av outputs. One to crt and one into your hdmi adapter. Just one hdmi adapter needed this way. And the awqesome benefit of this, u can use cheap hdmi splitters becuase u wil have zero input lag on the crt u look at, and the input lag while recording is a total non issue becuase u r not loking at your hdmi, just recording. For people that dont need crt, they really must buy a more expensive hdmi converter with zzero lag, otherwise there can be HUGE lag on the cheaper devices, we be talking, like up to nearly 1'4 second input lag! Cheap ones too won't scale your retro 240p imnage right either, itll work, and if on a budget, great, but they mangle 240p sources most of them treating them as 480i and improper upscaling. BUt seerviceable if on a tight budget just to shoot a bit of footage if also using a zero lag crt mirroring technique.

Is there any way to reduce that CRT "noise" In the background while you are streaming so you do not hear it when you stream? The high pitch noise.
Are you using a mic when you stream? That would be the best way to reduce it is if you use a good mic with a filter.
@@KaptainKlassic Hyper X Quadcast yes. I’m just curious to see how I can reduce the noise so the feedback isn’t as high… Thanks for reaching out so fast. I have it set up on a boom arm.
@@SuperTaji nice that's the way to go! And no problem. Aside from the mic I'm not sure. If you have another CRT maybe try that and see if it's not as loud.
