Does this record internally to the device or dumps data directly on the computer? I need to record the hdmi output (audio+video) of a pc hdmi output?

No, it only funnels incoming (or outgoing) HDMI video to a computer's HD for recording, and can also simultaneously pipe the incoming video to an HDMI video monitor or TV.This requires a Thunderbolt connection to a computer. I do not know whether PCs are available with such a port but as of 2011 Macs have one, even the Macbook Air. It doubles as the display port.

Sounds like this is more equipment than you need. If all you are doing is going out from a PC to a projector for a display you might only need a converter piece or just a cable and use the projector as an external display. Can your projector not take an HDMI cable directly? If not can it take a VGA?

You can plug it straight into your computer or iDevice. Both will recognize it and let you record without any additional equipment.

This unit records directly to a built-in hard drive. It plugs into a monitor (blue ended cable - analog) for video output. We use it primarily to monitor the driveway and the backyard and it works well.

The monitor uses an SD card for recording. I just take the SD card out, pop it into the SD card reader in my computer and download all the video to my hard drive where I either review it, keep it to review later or copy it to a CD. So short answer is "yes".

Do I need a separate recorder/hard drive to store recorded data? If not, how long does it record before the 'loop' ends and it starts rewriting over itself?

It only records the audio and video that the TV puts out, but not what you say. For that, you have to record yourself separately and sync the TV audio/video and your audio and/or video together yourself. I just record my voice using Audacity (free program) and then sync it with the TV recording in my editing program later.

Manual says it does, but I have not tried it myself. It is not always recording though. You need to turn it on manually and it would generate a file that you would save on your PC.

It's just an input device. It doesn't have recording capabilities. If your TIVO can record from external devices then it can record from this.

I have not explored the option but from my installing it, it does not seem possible without an external recording device from the output on the device.

After you install the driver, your recording software should show it as another input device--then you can record directly through the USB connection.

I do not believe it can be use for HDMI recording. I have had this for about a year and been just using it with my VCR to convert tapes over to DVD, Blu-ray or even just storing them on my computer. I have been using the white, red and yellow cables along with a usb grabber to get the video to my computer. Sorry for not having a good answer on the HDMI recording.

Short answer: yes, but no. Yes, there is an HDMI input port, but you can't record from it. The industry is trying to prevent recording of protected content (like from DVD and Blu-Ray discs), and they don't know how to distinguish home-grown movies from blockbusters, so they block all HDMI recording. You are better off using the output features from your camera with a PC. I hope this was helpful to you!

As far I know, this is only an external graphics Card that ports from your computer to another monitor. So you should be able to use it from another computer to the VA connection of your laptop to use the laptop as another monitor. So if the signal is coming into your laptop then you can record it.

Can I modify the question a bit? Does the HDMI output a signal when the camera is NOT recording? In other words, can it function as a "studio camera"?

You can get hardware that allows you to record onto the computer. The hardware is a memory hog. Or maybe it is software.

You can record straight through the USB. Nifty little thing.But beware, its more of a mixer than a traditional interface, so it doesn't split the tracks you may have already laid down from the new ones you're recording. So basically, EVERYTHING you can hear it in your monitor mix, it's going to be on the track you're currently recording. So if you're recording something live, its perfect. If you're tracking something, not so much...

You can view recorded video on the device. Video is lower quality. You can also plug it in with the provided cable and view video on your computer.
