Okay, so let me get this straight, you cant actually use this to play your games on your tv? so i cant play on my giant hdtv and record on the pc?

Yes, as everybody is saying you will need a hdmi splitter. But if you are using a PS3 to play you will need a hdcp stripper splitter to record.

This is easily possible as long as you also purchase an HDMI splitter too as this card doesn't have HDMI out. I have mine setup to the Console is connected to a 1x2 amplified HDMI splitter with one output running to the Capture-card and the other running to my Television/Monitor. As long as you get an amplified splitter as opposed to a passive one you shouldn't receive any input lag.

That's basically right. This device only has HDMI-in, and no pass-through. So, unless you can already hook up your PC to your giant HDTV, you will not be able to use that HDTV to play games at the same time without another device. To do that, you'll need an HDMI splitter of some sort.

This is a device that you hook up between your console and your pc, it will allow you to stream and record your gameplay.

You would have to buy an HDMI splitter for that. They go for about 20 bucks. The appeal of this is that it doesn't have a delay when you record (meaning you can play on your computer screen as you're recording). The competitor capture card (hauppage hd PVR 2) DOES have an HDMI out which splits the signal and lets you play on the TV, but there's anywhere between a 2-6 second delay on the computer. If you plan on using it for streaming gameplay or something you'd definitely want this one, but the hauppage may be good enough if capturing in realtime isn't a big deal to you.

Thanks. That answers my question about recording off the TV. Do you know if we can view/play VHS tapes using the Toshiba DVR610? Other people have written saying that they haven't been able to do so. Thank you.

I use mine with my TV that has a built in VHS tape recorder for surveillance, I don't know how you'd play recorded video on your PC. It's a very good little camera, and the crooks don't even know that it's there. I'm thinking about getting another one.

This is the wrong product for you. 99% chance it won't work. Check out the "HD Game Capture Device" from Elgato. It works on my Vista OS.

Is it trying to output 1080p HD? This adapter won't work with 1080p. I had to find this out the hard way. Plus, going through many adapters is not a good idea. I'd recommend buying just an HDMI to VGA adapter.

I wouldn't know - I bought it to play my Wii on a computer screen. So I can't say anything about HDTVs. All I can say is that there is no lag whatsoever in my case. Sorry !

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.

You should be able to attach it but I don't know how recording will go considering the recorder itself wouldn't be able to put out 1080p. Sorry I just use it to play my old gaming systems.

Plays great on a digital TV. Have not recorded but I assume since it plays fine it would record as well. Hope that helps...... Stan Warner

You might have to configure it to work for games from Steam. I use x260ce app to configure. As 'ian' has mentioned, its a hit or miss. I would recommend xbox controller as well.

Scott, glad you found the post useful. I believe the Wii's max resolution is 480p, so there's some conversation going on, maybe? Like you I don't really understand the details on this stuff. I do know that I haven't had problem at all with audio and video being out of sync using the 720.

No, this device is NOT for recording of anything! It has outputs, not inputs. You use it for playing downloaded or backed-up media content (Music and Video) on a TV that has an HDMI connection.

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.

Your TV still has to be capable of handling the resolution of the PC's output. For example, if the PC output is 1080p and your TV cannot handle that video resolution, it will not work.

Hi Mad, normally you can't do that directly on the TV. You can record from your Cable Box. -Vincent

Really it's only used for game and video capture on your pc. I wouldn't capture cable or satellite do to copyright issues. I'm not even sure if it'll work
