HDMI Video Capture
Posted: Fri Mar 17, 2017 11:20 pm
I wanted to let everyone know about a great HDMI video capture solution I tested: the Magewell USB HDMI capture dongle (http://www.magewell.com/usb-capture-hdmi).
It works very nicely with Magic's VideoCapture module on both Mac and PC, and it's completely plug-and-play (no drivers are required). It supports up to 1080p resolution and 60fps. The lag is pretty reasonable -- only 1 or 2 frames. Note that a USB 3.0 port is required.
It will accept any HDMI source, so you can connect the output of other computers, or high-quality video cameras, etc.
There are also other versions of the dongle which support DVI and SDI inputs, and 4K resolution, but I haven't tested them.
If you have any questions, or if you have a different hardware solution you'd like to recommend, feel free to reply! And please note that I am not endorsed by or affiliated with Magewell in any way; the above represents my independent opinion only.
