Compatible Capture Cards?
Posted: Fri May 25, 2018 4:49 pm
I've done some digging through the forum and am having a hard time finding a list of Magic-compatible capture cards.
I've recently built a PC for using Magic and I'm looking into picking up a PC compatible capture card. Here's a list of what I've found + what's worked for me thus far on Mac -
Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle (thunderbolt)
I've been using the Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle (thunderbolt version) with my Macbook successfully. It's a pain to set up, but once up and running through Black Syphon it's completely stable and virtually lag-free. Limited to 1080i, I believe.
Magewell USB HDMI capture dongle
Verified by Eric himself as performing very well. Seems to be the most expensive, yet painless option.
Elgato Game Capture HD60 S
User in link below claims they are unable to get the captured feed out of proprietary software and into Magic. I've read of other users using a window-capture workaround, but this sounds like it would yield a much lower-res video feed inside Magic to me (someone correct me if I'm wrong)
LinkStable HD Game Capture Card
User in link below claims this card works. Amazon reviews all state that card performance is subpar in FPS and resolution.

Does anyone have any successful experiences with any other capture cards being recognized by VideoCaptureDS or successfully captured / fed into Magic via Spout? Additionally, has anyone had any success with internal PCIe capture cards?
P.S. - I've used Magic for 3ish years in addition to VDMX, Resolume, Max, TouchDesigner, etc. For me personally, Magic is by far the most fun of all of them for content creation and I'd like to say thank you to everyone who contributes to the software and forum community. Thanks for all you do! <3
