@@adamvargo7830 I wouldn't. But try to understand my point. I know that I can get away with a cheap motherboard as long as it supports the CPU I bought and has the required ports/slots(almost all budget laptops have almost everything nowadays) So my point is, if I am purchasing a cheap motherboard, I probably won't have the money to spend much on the CPU and GPU. Most probably I will settle with a 3060 at max(which is insanely costly here in India due to very less availability, around $800-$900). Now although it can game in 4k, it is more of a 2k card. So no point in buying a 4k capture card.

Even with 1 pc it can have a fps improvement. The "problem" of recording software is it must hook in the game engine to record the game (the only exception is Shadowplay, but the quality is meh) and this hooking will decrease the fps of the game. The actual recording softwares like OBS Studio are doing a very good job , so the decrease in fps is small.

@@djtangable7550 I'm not going to read your wall of text mansplaining capture cards to THE guy who reviews capture cards on KZread BUT your entire premise seems to be based upon the idea that capture cards are pulling in video in H264, which is untrue. Modern (worthwhile) capture cards are pulling in the video feed in NV12, YUY2, or XRGB streams which are all uncompressed - and while technically less data than raw video texture through the PCIe bus from GPU - is not "less" enough to matter, and none of that is a particular "advantage" of any kind for encoding for a stream. That's literally not how capture cards work

Would have appreciated comparisons to competitor hardware i.e. Black Magic, AverMedia, Razer. Usually I'm not disappointed with LTT videos, I find them by-and-large informative and entertaining; however, this was pretty meh I'm sad to say. I hope to see some better content about this product class since a lot of people are becoming interested in streaming video content from consoles/DSLRs for better visual quality in social engagements over the web. I myself am trying to find a good solution for pulling video from my DSLR for Zoom calls, but I'm not willing to commit to Elgato simply because they appear to be market leader.

It's not just cost that differentiates the PCIE cards. It's also whether it requires a 1x slot, or a 4x slot. Most motherboards have the 1x slots controlled through the chipset. This won't affect the PCI lanes on your video card. If you use a 4x card, then you will most likely need to use a full sized PCIE slot and you will be sharing PCI lanes with your video card. This will drop the available PCIE lanes from 16 to 8 in most cases.

It's the 'evergreen content' strategy that LTT has been pushing for years. All videos should have some kind of interesting narrative. The purpose is to make videos that keep getting views even years later. That's why all unboxings (etc) have been pushed onto a secondary channel. Linus recently said in an interview that LTT is probably one of the least noticeable channels that does 100 million views monthly.

I think they add it after a day or so, since it helps the algorithm

A common setup that wasn't considered in the video is a two pc setup where the main one used to game or what have you and the secondary one has a capture card and handles the streaming or video recording. This has major benefits as the entirety of the video processing needed for streaming or recording is done on another computer. Moreover, if one crashes the other should still be working (typically this would allow the stream to go on). The one drawback is that it means you now have two computers to control instead of one.

I feel like it would be better to just have a capture card if that does the encoding for you at that point, the third type he demonstrated.

I sometimes use my capture card to view hdmi content when I can't reasonably bring a monitor, and latency isn't a huge issue (e.g.: debugging computers without a monitor). Unfortunately my small laptop isn't officially supported, because it doesn't have dedicated graphics, but it does kind of work in OBS. If it could somehow drop the dedicated GPU requirement, it'd be perfect for on-site debugging. And I also use it to turn a camera I already had into a webcam (shows up as a webcam, despite what is implied in this video, maybe that was just a comment about the PCI express versions?), which is much higher quality than what I could expect to get with a regular webcam.

Thus 1) Will I get a benefit from connecting their Cap card and recording to the USB port (I can connect an external HD)? I.e. does passing my video signal thru their device, help encode it so that OBS runs/saves better? 2) If no, then do I need to by a Cap card with internal recording chip, to get a benefit for recording my PC display (while gaming)?

linus did actually mention that the load is still on the pc and not the card. it was early on in the video think

i really like this new theme of videos with the really clean music!!

I'm a creator and I work with a HD60 Pro daily, and I'd like to expand a bit on what Linus said in this video. Another convenience benefit of PCI-e over USB that Linus didn't address is audio and audio latency. He says that PCI-e is "lower latency" but he doesn't mention how drastic it is. When I had a USB Elgato, there was a good 1.5 to 3 seconds of delay on both video and audio. With the HD60 Pro, there's only a couple hundred ms. It's not ideal for playing competitive or fast paced games on, and you should still use passthrough. HOWEVER, it does save me a step of connecting audio output to my monitor as you can use monitoring in OBS to hear the audio since the delay is rather insignificant. I do this for everything from playing casual and retro games, to playing Modern Warfare on my laptop passed through my desktop capture card, to endurance and Formula 1 racing with a wheel, all through my computer's speakers or headphones. Also, not needing to switch inputs if I just need to grab footage of something for a video but not play the game seriously is very convenient, as I can just use the preview window as it's "Good Enough." The HD60 Pro has also been significantly less picky with input resolution than the USB card before it, though I'd still recommend other retro creators buy something like a Framemeister or OSSC (ideally both) to make sure that whatever you feed the capture card will be accepted. The Framemeister will take anything I feed through it or the OSSC (HDMI from OSSC to Framemeister), allow me to scale it and zoom/adjust it to be the proper aspect ratio and screen position/size, and then spit it out in 1080/60. When using cheaper solutions like HDMI converters for original Xbox, I had serious issues with games like Enter The Matrix, which display in 1080i at 60FPS, having their framerate halved by the Elgato, as well as having issues around the edge of the picture that would normally be hidden by overscan. The Framemeister+OSSC combo resolves this entirely, and looks far far far far far better than the HDMI converter to boot. If any other creators have questions about this kinda stuff feel free to reply and ask away, I loooooove doing this.

Even cheap capture cards can do their job because the data is not encrypted when it reaches a TV/video card (unless the cards can read the multitudes of different encrypting).

I'm surprised GPUs haven't added in capture card ability inside the card. I get now the 30 series can basically stream without much issue but If I want to capture from my old PC (playing an unsupported game for example) or console to allow it to be recorded and if you need a 2 pc system (or just want it for the convenience of not ending your stream if the gaming PC fails) a GPU having this ability would be awesome.

I have an avermedia live gamer 4K 60 pro and it does the same thing as the algato camlink in the sense that it detects it as a webcam input. That said, if your capture card doesn't support such a feature, you can always set it up with obs and turn on the virtual webcam setting which also allows you to use obs overlays and any other desirable obs features.

I am learning so much from Linus and friends along with his forum community that helped me troubleshoot to the point of upgrading a prebuilt gaming desktop to my advantage. I wish i can show him photos of my rig thanks to him and friends.

Legit at the time of this upload I was streaming and my capture card gave out! PFFT well timed.

Idk why. This video just felt great to watch. Amazing work. Good job

HDCP - there's some splitters that will basically get rid of it, allowing you to record HDCP content. It's just a tad tricky to know for sure if the one you're getting will work or not since most manufacturers make different revisions with some stripping the HDCP protection and others not. Though a quick online search should give anybody a good idea of which ones to look for :) Also - USB 3 isn't required for the Elgato cards. They work just fine with USB 2, especially since the older ones from Elgato came with USB 2 only. It's just that the newest ones can make use of USB 3 , though any older version will work just fine as well

The Elgato camlink is an amazing device. Glad I snached a few for work before they were out of stock at best buy and ebay prices shot up. Had issues with BlackMagic Shuttle with this clunky program, graphics laptop saw the camlink as a pc camera with source as 720 and was solid to decode scoreboard information.

Digital video capture is doing little more than compressing a digital signal, an analog video capture device is rather more tricky.

Getting a PCIe capture card with a passthrough and a built-in standalone encoder would be rad. Especially if you've also got it paired up with an atomic clock.

Holy crap!!! Thanks linus when i did my processor swap i forgot to see if my new one had integrated graphics for my second monitor, and it didnt, so whenever i streamed i would have to put my obs in the back ground on full screen so i could still see chat, then i would have to minimize the game to play, i didnt think about doing a game capture and playing through obs!

I'd like to include that, even if you have a DSLR camera, you still don't necessarily need a capture card. There are usually apps and/or obs plugins to allow the DSLR to be perceived as a webcam. You will need, however, to get a power cable for the said camera, unless you only record under 20 minutes of gameplay ;)

@KaptainCanuck

Жыл бұрын

Not all cameras have the 20-minute limit. Also, the limit only applies when the sensor is being used. My a6000 records unlimited OBS video and does not overheat as is their main problem with video recording. The only thing used for streaming is the lens and power, so all that is needed is external power through a DC adapter or a dummy battery.

@_Sigfried_

Жыл бұрын

@@KaptainCanuckWith 20 minutes I was referring to the battery limit, I know the time limit varies from camera to camera. On mine for example (Nikon D5300) I had to download a modified version of the firmware to remove the live view 30min limit. ⚠️ Should anybody happen to read this and attempt the same, BE CAREFUL, do monitor the temperature on the back of your camera and if your screen can lift off of it in any way, do lift it. Especially at 1080p and up, your camera may overheat, depending on your room temperature.

I just got myself an Elgato HD60 S+ that I have hooked up to my XBox One X and my laptop a couple weeks ago. A little more complicated than I was expecting, especially since I'm still trying to figure out OBS and could use a video or two on using that software. I'm able to get things working, but if I mess up one setting it usually takes me hours to get everything back working again.

3:14 Linus getting real comfortable with his clicks

I'm surprised he never mentioned the necessity for this when streaming from a dual PC setup.

Burnt out a USB capture device two weeks ago. Was using it with an old Mac Pro and I think the exhaust made it overheat. I can see the benefit of a PCIe card, but they’re more expensive and less flexible across devices.

gemer84 yeah but remember, Linus does turn away some sponsors depending on what he wants to do. He once turned away Intel because they wanted him to say something he didn’t believe in

Something to note here: External capture cards rely on the PC to do the post-processing, giving it more chance for latency, and delay. Which is some cases can be lowered on the fly, by going into the device properties in OBS, and switching audio output mode, i generally select the lower of the 3 (Output desktop audio (WaveOut)) as it gives me zero latency for audio (side note, even tho there seems to be latency in the OBS preview, having recorded, and watched too many footage back than i care to admit, there's no real noticable delay, so OBS preview is kind of faulty there) And should i notice the delay getting larger in OBS, switch Audio Output Mode twice, once to another mode, and back to the WaveOut. For referance sake, i'm using a Avermedia LGP Lite, so i cant speak for Elgato cards. In addition, Internal capture cards have the horsepower to do their own post-processing (think of it like having it's own CPU and RAM), lowering (if not eliminating) the risk of latency, and giving better image quality (1080p @ 60fps) (for reference, my avermedia does 1080p @ 30fps, OR 720p @ 60fps) For consoles, you can manually turn off HDCP, allowing it to be captured by a capture device, but that goes for today's generation of console, the PS3 does not have that option, and needs to rely on either a HDMI splitter (can be used to record netflix as well in this case), or you have to find a capture card that has component input, rather than HDMI input. Maybe next time, ask people who record gameplay, or stream gameplay, for further advice on capture cards. It's great that they can be used to capture PC's for benchmarking and all, but the general consumer would probly want to record or stream gameplay, as it the latest trend this year due to the global pandemic. I expected more research from LTT honestly, and i'm also gonna jump on the bandwagon and call you guys out. Why do a pure product placement ad/review now, and now sooner? Is it because Elgato is owned by Corsair? Is it because you didnt feel the need to review one unless paid for? How about this, then..... Get all you facts straight, grab multiple capture cards, compare them together, and make a unbiased opinion which is better for Camera, Console and PC recording/streaming. Gather tips, footage, and information from EpoxVox and Harris Heller. Then come back, and tell your 11.5 milion audience which is the better product. Sound good, awesome.

My boi put a whole paragraph

I remember that I used to have a capture card back in 2000 when I would have a video on my camcorder that uses vhs c tapes and if I wanted to convert them to a video file like an AVI. At the time, I was using Windows ME. BTW, my old camcorder still works even today, I bought it from Walmart in 2000 and the very last time that I used it for something practical would be when I graduated high-school in May of 2002.

I use an elgato pcie camlink pro (4 hdmi) in an external thunderbolt enclosure. It is great for taking multicam streaming with me when I am streaming my school's sports games and minimizes the amount of stuff I have to take in my travel kit. I wanted to buy a second camlink pro, but I couldn't find one near me (it looks like the Camlink Pro didn't sell well [and was discontinued??? Not really sure]), so we bought a blackmagic 4 port card for our second streaming kit. Either of these cards work great for on the road portability and reliability.

Is there not a difference in performance with using a capture card vs using software screen capping? I know a lot of streamers have a separate rig for capturing and streaming, but I would guess that the streaming part is more intensive than the capturing part.
