Can anyone recommend a way to take an HDMI video signal and convert it to USB so it can be recorded on a computer? I found a device that does this but it is around $300 and I wanted to find something cheaper. Thanks, Chris F.
Does it need to be USB? You can get a PCI-E HDMI capture card for ~$80 from newegg. https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Description=hdmi%20capture%2... On Mon, Mar 6, 2017 at 8:24 PM, Chris Fala via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

Since Chris is copying from a DVR Set Top box the capture product will need to support HDCP to allow HDMI copying of the signal. Sent from my iPhone

I knew there had to be a catch. On Tue, Mar 7, 2017 at 11:54 AM, Matt Patoray via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

I recommend an AVerMedia Live Gamer Portable (or Portable 2 if you want the extra features): http://amzn.to/2nb3xvc I use it to record all kinds of systems (older systems through an XRGB-mini). The nice part about this is the "portable" aspect, in that it only needs to be powered via any USB source and can record directly to an SD card. The PC part is completely optional (I don't even bother with it). As for HDCP, if that's an issue for you, it's easy enough to buy a splitter: http://amzn.to/2mBJd9X Most splitters strip it out of necessity. -Bill ======================================================== Bill Loguidice, Managing Director; Armchair Arcade, Inc. <http://www.armchairarcade.com> ======================================================== Authored Books <http://www.amazon.com/Bill-Loguidice/e/B001U7W3YS/ref=ntt_dp_epwbk_1> and Film <http://www.armchairarcade.com/film>; About me and other ways to get in touch <http://about.me/billloguidice> ======================================================== On Tue, Mar 7, 2017 at 11:54 AM, Matt Patoray via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

I still have to try it, but I saw there are HDMI splitters which can strip the HDCP There are many models which have been reported to support this And they are very cheap, between $20 to $40, even on Amazon One model was the SANOXY for $18, amzn.com/B003UYOEMI And then some devices such as the PS4 can have the HDCP disabled in its menu Older devices such as the PS3 don't even include HDCP, so you wouldn't have playback issues.

Mark W., Looks like that's your first post on the list. Please introduce yourself: how did you find us, where you live, what's your interest in vintage computing, etc. .... thanks! ________________________________ Evan Koblentz, director Vintage Computer Federation a 501(c)3 educational non-profit evan@vcfed.org (646) 546-9999 www.vcfed.org facebook.com/vcfederation twitter.com/vcfederation
Chris, What kind of source are you trying to record from, PC Video card, Game Console, OTA Tuner or DVD/BluRay? Sent from my iPhone

I haven't tried, but I always wanted to find out how good are these hdmi recorders with the online broadcasting craze, gamers are constantly uploading their tournaments in HD and so these recorders are becoming so popular they always have the same recorders which require a desktop to operate, just as the early generation recorders with only composite video, but this one even records hdmi to sd card without the need for a desktop and it's rather inexpensive at $150 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B2IZ3B0/ref=psdc_6795230011_t2_B00840353W
We used one of the $150-250 range boxes at work to record presentations from usergroups. It worked fine and captured at full 1080p. Troll Amazon for a good deal that has verified purchase reviews. Then see if you can find the same item cheaper elsewhere.
