Is there a delay between the live feed and the feed displayed on the PC? I see a 3-4 second delay using El Gato Game Capture HD.

There is a slight delay, maybe 1 second at most. I don't use it this way. I only capture footage from my DVR, and I have it connected with a 1x2 HDMI switch box where only 1 signal is active at the same time, which mean that when I'm capturing footage, only the PC receives a signal. You could hook up a 1x2 HDMI splitter which is active on all feeds at the same time, but I've found that those can be kind of unreliable and they are much more than I need for my particular setup.

I certainly haven't seen a delay in the 3-4 second range, but I never paid attention much as it didn't matter since it was just sitting there recording. Any extra time at the beginning or end could be edited out. I don't know that it would work playing a game from, though. It's not like having video plugged into a monitor. (I mention this because you mention having a game capture card.)

With my setup, there's roughly a .3 second delay between the actual feed and what comes out of the Colossus. I use the HDMI-in on the capture card coming from my Directv HD-DVR box.

I haven't noticed any lag and my games worked perfectly. I'm using one of the HDMI slots. I haven't switched to Game Mode (to my knowledge) as suggested in the other response, but will try that to see if that makes a difference. Very happy with this Samsung.

Yes, when i record games, i actually use the "capturing" window as my display... it has ZERO delay

I didn't see the question but I'll assume it's the delay singers normally accept the delay in a lot of systemsbut some ways of hooking it up are better than others you make it a better picture from HDMI but you'll probably get closer sound from start to finishby using the standard video

I did play a game through the 360 game system and did not see any lag or skipping of the video. Everything appeared to be normal. (I guess the fps that your talking about is the frames per second.)

That's a tough one, it does not say on the box or the website. I'm not sure how to measure it either but for what it's worth, I'd say the audio/video latency is very very low or does not exist for the average joe.

I have never had more than a 2 second delay. There is an option to put the camera on action so the delay time is minimal

Not that I have noticed, but the software records at about a 1-2 second delay. So make sure you use a second monitor/TV.

I bought this box last month, but when running XBMC LiveTV video and audio are not paired. The audio is ahead from the picture. When I Run Movies From stream channels it works awesome. I have 24 mbps internet speed, Does any one knows why it does that?

I connected the device directly from the TV and cable box to the computer. I had to unplug everything and then re-plug everything afterwards. You play it live and it records in real time.

While watching from (or via) the Magnavox (output to my TV), I am only able to watch a program pre-recorded on the HDD/DVR at the same time that another program is being recorded. Cannot tune to more than one station at a time (to record one, while attempting to watch another). . .Not sure I quite understand J. Kavanaugh's answer, but sounds like something cool to learn to do!

Delay all depends on your capture card my friend. However I can vogue that this mic is an excellent condenser mic.

You can preview the program in full screen I'm not sure though if its 30 or 60 fps. There's very minimal lag time for the preview so you shouldn't have any problems with that, although I'm sure it depends on your computer. I haven't had any problems with the delay of input in the preview.

There is a brief delay between playback of video from my DVR and playback on my desktop PC. Delay is less than a second, but I do not have an exact time for you. All I can say is the dealy is noticeable. Not a problem for me because I am only dumping recordings from my DVR for long-term storage on portable hard drives. I cannot say if the delay would be a problem for playing console games - I have not tried that.

Hey eyeball, I need the same thing basically. My Question is this: I would like to use this camera as an HD feed for a monitor. Can I leave it in record mode (without recording) and get a feed without it shutting off? Did it end up working okay for you??? If not what did you get?

Nope. There is a substantial delay. If I'm recording a game or anything else you're seeing at least 1 second delay, if not more. If you're recording game you need to use an HDMI splitter to be able play in real time on a normal flat screen TV and capture the output at the same time. Of course the device can only capture component video. However like many users of this capture device, I use an HDMI to component converter device.

To be honest, I haven't tried it yet since I am always busy with other stuff. You need video capture software on your computer and a connecting USB cable, but there should be no reason why there would be a problem as long as the signal gets through. Hope to get around to it one of these days!
