to measure the lag you could put a timer on the screen and take a picture of both at the same time. it will show you the exact ms difference. looks like a cool cheap capture card
Surprisingly this is the one I ordered and it comes today at first cos of some reviews I was doubtful but now I seen this I know not to be worried any more. I’m a small content creator and I stream and I’ve always wanted a capture card so I guess this is a good starter for me
If it’s your first ever capture card, and you’re happy with 1080p… you will be absolutely fine with this. Glad the video could put your mind at ease, and would love to hear how you get on with it down the road!
@@Banproofjust wondering if there’s a way for say when I’m live and I wanted to do a reaction is there some way to get UA-cam working with the capture card or no?
I’m having this problem with blocky picture that you mentioned. Not sure I’ve figured it out completely, but one thing I noticed is that problems start when input resolution is too high or frame rate is wrong. On the console, I had to manually select 1080p (the default is 1440p because of the monitor), and on the computer, I had to make sure it’s set to 60 Hz (not 59.99 or 60.01)-then the image became much better. Confusing still.
I have to thank your comment. I just got the card and had the blocky capture at 1080p 60fps problem, looks like the card won't resize properly from a higher resolution input
I'm gonna try this thing out. I've been using the Happauge HD PVR 2 for like 10 years and I'm looking to move on to something a little more capable. The Happauge is absolutely brilliant for older systems that use composite and component cables, but it struggles to even produce decent looking footage in 1080p at 30fps. Thanks for making this very informative video! I especially appreciate the way you showed off the latency.
Are all of these offerings with nearly identical specs and looks any different? Do they require proprietary software? Why choose one brand over another?
Hey! Thanks for a great video, helped me out a lot! But quick question, do you know if it has an ability to record at 50hz? I'm planning to use this for digitizing VHS recordings combined with composite-HDMI adapter.
I actually don’t know the answer to that. It definitely does 25 because I’ve used my camera at that rate before with it. So I’d assume it does 50 (as it can do 60). I’ll have a look next time I’m at the PC. If I don’t reply don’t feel bad to remind me.
Thank you so muchhhhhhhhhh! the HDCP helped me a lots. I thought it was broken. They really put that in the manual. Also , can you stream the gameplay on discord? I tried but it keep loading for me
Seems to be a good choice to replace my Elgato HD60 that died on me (the USB port broke, it has the style that PS3 controllers use for wired connection to the console or how the PSP like models 2000 and 3000 use to connect to the PC or PS3) and to keep my other one that (too cheap but does the job as long as I don't spend too much time because it gets hot too fast) is for more emergency situations like how am I at the moment.
did you configured any extra setting to enable 1440p on PS5? On my PS5 i can only see 1080p and 4k? When i tried to select 1440p it says this TV not supported and my monitor is 1440p.
I just did the “test 1440p output” in PS5 settings and it said it was supported and then let me choose 1440p in PS5 options while capturing 1080 on the cap card.
Can't say I've ever had this issue really. As I mentioned in the video, some games do look better than others, but I wouldn't say any of them looked bad. Where are you seeing this? In OBS preview? Only in the stream or recording? Is it fixed images that are looking bad or just moving things?
If it only in the recording but not in the preview it’s most likely your recording settings. If using OBS then you’re gonna want to look at preset/bitrate that sort of stuff. But if the preview is fine and it’s only bad in recording, it’s your settings for sure.
The game from the phone does not reach the computer. NO Signal. It shows that the phone cable is connected to the IN computer OUT. It shows NO signal. What should I do?
If you want to capture something you need to connect your phone by HDMI to the input, and then connect the USB to a computer, then use some sort of capture software such as OBS to view it on the computer. You can then connect the output to a monitor or TV to have a lag-free pass-through.

I’m worried that if I can explain it right, so the capture card does 60fps and the 1080 graphics, does this mean it lowers my own side off stream also or does that stay set?
Hmm… How can I explain in a comment haha. The pass through is where the signal goes in and out of the capture card to your monitor, this is generally unchanged but does have some restrictions. While passing through the card captures that image and sends it by the usb to the pc so you can stream or record it, that is limited to 1080/60.
I have it and I'm trying to configure it in obs with my Nintendo Switch, but when I select it, it remains within black borders, no matter how much I press fit to screen and so on, it's not complete, do you know what it could be? (I have it at 1080 60pfs)
@@Banproof Yes, in all the video settings, output and so on, it is 1920x1080 60pfs, and yes, the borders are everywhere, I had to manually edit the dimensions so that it went full screen, so that it does not have borders I had to set it to 1979x1122, no I know it can be
Some apps are going to have DRM that stops you outputting or capturing by HDMI. I’ve not tried it but I assume it’s similar to a games console where HDCP stops it from working, and apps like Netflix for example won’t work with HDCP disabled.
@Banproof cheers, thank you Also, I have 2 laptops that I use. I am planning to use 1 for gaming and the other 1 for streaming, so will this work well ??
@Tclipz48 I am so not familiar with Mac but sounds like monitor not getting a display so powering off. You definitely have HDCP turned off in PS5 settings?
I followed the same steps as you suggest, and it’s working. But the quality is really sad. My goal is to not record but just stream live in Facebook live, im using my laptop for streaming but still the quality I’m getting is 40 fps. I’ll be fine even if I get 1080p with 60 fps, can you suggest me ? (Laptop specs i7 11th gen,16Gb ram, gtx1650, 512ssd I think this is enough for streaming) and my internet upload speed is plus 10mbps
And are you seeing bad quality in OBS or on your actual stream? What encoding settings are you using? There’s a million different options that could cause the stream quality to look bad.
If you’re trying to play through the monitor will always be a degree of input lag. It’s minimal on this, later in the video I show the delay between the pass through and the preview.
@funkanic06 Unless you can find a capture card that captures in 300fps you won’t get any benefit any way as it will only display up to 60fps through USB, and PlayStation will only very rarely give much more than 60fps, at most I believe it does 120 in certain games.
I’m not sure exactly what you are asking? You should be able to capture a screen mirror with the appropriate HDMI adapter, if you just want to save photos to a computer from iPad there’s no need for a capture card.
Ah yeah that should work with any capture card if you have an HDMI adapter, don’t have an iPad here to be able to test it though. I have, however captured my iPhone in OBS wirelessly using an app called AirServer. This allowed me to AirPlay my screen to the PC and use window capture to pull it into OBS. This would work for iPad too and would remove any need for capture card or cables.
@@Banproof Heavy games will cause stuttering when recording using screen capture software. I only have an RTX 3060 which is not powerful enough. Thanks for your reply.
Capture card won’t help this. The stuttering is not from the capture but from the resources used to encode the recording. Recording from capture card whilst playing on same machine will result in just as much resource usage.

mine doesn't show the correct colours on OBS, like if I messed with the hue (and I can't fix it on the hue configuration on OBS)
