Installing the Game Broadcaster HD 1080p Capture Card

[GamerManTheGreat]

if u play on ps3 do u have to install the card in the ps3 or in the pc?

[MasterHWilson]

So you need 2 PCs to record? One computer to play on, and tthhe othr thats recording? Or can you install and use the Game Broadcaster HD on the same computer your playing, and wanto record on?

@MasterHWilson That's correct. You're better off with Fraps or WeGame if you're only capturing PC gameplay.

[Mr1986anthony]

can you use this to record xbox if you only have a laptop

[8AxeProductions8]

@Mr1986anthony Nope, consider their external solution.

[Mr1986anthony]

@8AxeProductions8 yeah i saw the game capture hd so i may go for that since it is around same price and then i dont have to put a desktop in my room

[dancemastigoldy]

If i want to record it from my ps3 than which product i must choose Game Capture or Game broadcaster HD.....? And does really Game Capture HD recodrs without LAG....?

[gabbodj95]

if i use fraps, it records also the bar with buttons like play, pause etc?

[TheGamersHud]

So can I use this like an alternative to Fraps aswell as an alternative to an HD PVR?

[8AxeProductions8]

@TheGamersHud You’ll need a second computer to record PC gameplay.

[eatmywhopper]

Do this card have any kind of noticeable lag between what are you seeing on screen and what are you using on the pad?

Not recording only viewing it

[8AxeProductions8]

@eatmywhopper Yep, there's a noticeable amount of latency. Recommend purchasing a video splitter for playing and recording simultaneously.

[bulldogs2045]

How big are file sizes?

[8AxeProductions8]

@bulldogs2045 You have a variety of file containers to choose from, a sample clip of around 30 seconds comes to just over 100mb as mpeg2.

[yangallan]

How is the 1080p video quality?

[8AxeProductions8]

@yangallan It's quite good. I'll have sample footage in the final part of the review. You have a variety of formats to choose from too.

[Zico10101010]

so i connect the xbox 360 to the component and the hdmi to the tv?

[8AxeProductions8]

@Zico10101010 If your 360 has an HDMI port, purchase an HDMI splitter. Connect one cable from the splitter to your TV, and a second cable from the splitter to the capture card.

[deadwrongmlg]

@8AxeProductions8 If i'm not mistakenk however, does'nt the HDMI's format not allow for recording due to HDCP? the copyright protection

[8AxeProductions8]

@deadwrongmlg Worked fine for me. 

[deadwrongmlg]

@8AxeProductions8 Well either way I went and ordered it tonight, cant wait to get it!! Did you order directly from the site or a 3rd person company? Was j/w about how long it'll take to recieve it

[8AxeProductions8]

@deadwrongmlg Great! They were actually kind enough to send this product for me to review. I guess if you ordered from Amazon and you’re in the US, the wait shouldn’t be long at all.

[Zico10101010]
