Does this card capture HDMI from camcorders (like a Canon Vixia), and is that video available to Skype/Google+ Hangouts?

In practice, it works as well. I have been using a Vixia HV40 to stream church services, and I'm about to get another card to hook up a computer as well.

it will capture from any HDMI as long as the hdmi is not protected. meaning it wont let you record from a HDCP protected product like a playstation 3. and there is a streaming feature on the software but skype and google detect them like a normal camera hooked to a computer

In theory, you shouldn't have any problem hooking up a camcorder with HDMI for capturing. I did some digging online and someone posted a video showing that it does indeed work. (http://vimeo.com/60088887). For the second part of your question, I'm not positive if it can be streamed in real-time to Skype/Google+ since I don't do any sort of video conferencing. Hopefully, I answered this to the best of my ability for you and I apologize in advance if I didn't answer them completely. Thank you for submitting a question, though!

I should work with handycams like HDR-CX220/L or the HDR-CX230/B. The handycam must have SD output support along with an hdmi port.

No this product is simply a SDI to HDMI converter. That means an SDI signal inputs into it and converts it into an HDMI output. Since the Canon Vixia does not have an SDI output, this device would be useless. This is most commonly used for digital cinema cameras like the Blackmagic Cinema Camera or any other digital camera which only has an SDI output, so that they can use cheaper HDMI monitors.

The card and its driver are used to capture video. To stream you will need software from a third party. If you check the Blackmagic website you'll find suggestions. I use Vmix to switch and add effects live. Vmix can record and/or stream the production. If you haven't yet purchased and have no interest in switching between sources, there are other alternatives that can capture and stream like the Hauppauge StreamEez-Pro. Search Amazon for "video capture streaming" for more options.

Yes, any video (or DSLR) camera that outputs HDMI while operating works but, the LiveShell is only SD Video quality encoding. You need to go with the LiveShell Pro or Livu product from Teradek to take advantage of the HD out of the camera.

This is not a Capture Card. It's a simple Video Card to play games or graphic design with it. It's shoud work, on Windows XP work fine. Since it's older model must have driver compatible with early O.S. Regards

Hi Carlos, this is not compatible with the HDRCX580 camcorder as it uses LANC connection. I recommend using the model VCTVPR100 instead. Thanks_Mitch

I'm looking at buying the camera, I'm curious about this too. Hopefully someone will get back to you, this HDMI port is a major selling point for me on this camera.

I just connected the mini hdmi to the camcorder and the other end of hdmi to the TV or your computer for editing. If you need the composite, go to this link it might be of some help? Http://www.ebay.com/gds/How-Do-I-Connect-My-Camcorder-to-My-TV-and-Share-Videos-/10000000177628260/g.html. My Canon was as good as new and 3 times less than the G10. Just does not have great resolution like the G10. Good Luck my friend

Unfortunately I do not shoot stills or use HDMI output. I'm strictly high bit rate video using the San Disk extreme pro 64 gb 95 mbs card. (the only reliable card for a hacked GH2) Then off loaded straight to the computer. Sorry I can't be any help.

While I can't speak for this card specifically I can vouch for the fact that your theory works. I've done as much with most basic capture cards. Just make sure that you have multiple video outputs on your graphics card and connect one to your monitor and loop back to the capture device through a second output. The card should appear in your recording software as a capture device and I've used it to record full screen video, capture PC game play and once even live-streamed my PC desktop to a website.

you can certainly use google hangouts for video conferencing. Probably not skype since it is a microsoft program and requires drivers that do not exist on the fast and lean chromebox. It is very nice system. I use it in my RV

This Siig Firewire card is a plug and play with no drivers to install. I have found it has worked fine with my firewire devices, and although I cant guarantee, I cant see any reason why it would not work with your video camera. I think it is better than a couple of the others on the market that I have used in the past

It may depend on whether your HDMI source includes HDCP copy protection - most capture cards respect HDCP and will not accept an HDMI video signal with HDCP embedded. If the HDMI doesn't work, the analog component capture may be a solution.

I don't believe any of the Canon Vixia cameras have SDI output so this is not suitable for that but the Black Magic do have SDI output and this device is suitable for converting the SDI signal to HDMI to connect with a monitor with HDMI inputs. The Canon can be connected directly to a monitor with an HDMI cable without conversion but it will have to have mini HDMI for the camera and standard HDMI for the monitor. Recording can take place in the camera for both Canon and Black Magic.

Hi, I have a JVC Everio (I don't have the model number with me) and the mini HDMI works with my camera.
