    I bought one on Amazon this week and it has been great. It was $40, but it has the loop through on it and it's 1080p with 60 fps. Both the video and sound are great. It was a relief to find that out since I can't afford the expensive ones.

    @pyrobunny_mdpl 4 года назад +6

    Something to note is that if you're using it for a camera, it can do 720p at 60FPS. For a smaller window, like a small corner face cam, you can get some sweet 60FPS goodness.

    I bought this thing on a whim on Amazon to hook up my daughter onto twitch, I love it the setup was pretty dang easy with a RUclips tutorial. The only drawback is you really do need an HDMI splitter. I went ahead and bought one with four plugs, partially because it was the only one there and also I have so many devices and sick of having to unplug the ones in the back and have to plug in the new one.

Here is a troubleshooting guide you can try to get HDMI capture going if you have issues with it in the link below. Another thing to remember first though, we are buying unbranded $10 capture devices. I would guess that they may cut a corner on quality control.

      Yes, this. 100%. However, not all cameras have this and a capture card can also capture a game console, another pc, or anything else with an HDMI source. Also, not this particular device, but the capture software will allow for a max of 30fps if that matters to you. :)

      For mic, you could always add a delay as a filter for the audio source that is too early compared to your video or a video delay if your audio is too late.
      For game: it should be in sync with the video, if not, try above.

    • @Activater
      @Activater  4 года назад +3

      It's most likely your ISO on the camera being too high. Do a test, where it currently is for your OBS setup, just hit record on your camera itself. Once you record a few seconds, take the camera outside and adjust the settings (ISO first, then shutter speed) so you can see outside and record again. Take those files and put them into your OBS as media sources and just look at them. Most likely the outside will look good.
      The key is to get the lowest possible number on your ISO as well as your F-Stop of your lens. Then you want to keep your shutter speed at about 1/50 or 1=/30.
      If you can't see after setting the settings, you gotta increase the light in your space.

    • @Activater
      @Activater  4 года назад +1

      Like, take the signal from the capture card and send it out of your graphics card? Technically you could do this, but it would still have the delay effects as you have in OBS. basically, you'd need to plug that HDMI cable from the GPU to a tv or monitor so that your pc would recognize it. Then with OBS, you would right click the main preview, then select "full screen projector preview, then select that tv or monitor. it will send whatever is on your obs to your TV/monitor. However, you could also right click on ANY source and project that to the tv/monitor by itself. Just need to make sure you right click on the source itself rather than the main obs preview monitor.
      Hope this helps!

    Hey man, so I was thinking about buying one of these. I want to dual PC stream on a budget because I already have 2 pc's.

    • @Activater
      @Activater  4 года назад +2

      Hey Phae, connecting your phone isn't always super easy. If your device has a cable that can send out an HDMI signal, then it's EZ PZ where you just connect that cable to your phone and then to the capture card/splitter to send the signal to your PC.
      However, if there isn't a cable that supports that for your device, you'll need to either put an android emulator on your PC and play there or send your phones image to your PC via usb or wirelessly with an screen mirroring application. Ill try to find a good app, but check this article in the meantime to find something that could work: fossbytes.com/android-screen-mirroring-apps-pc/amp/

      2.) play off of your OBS screen. (right click on preview screen and select "fullscreen preview" then the monitor you want to preview on) However, this method introduces a little delay to the gameplay from what you do with your controller. Like a half second.

    Most generic capture cards like this one are powered by the MS2109 chip. However, there are a few capture cards that use the MS2130 chip which is an improvement over the MS2109 variant. Not only can it do 60fps at 1080p, but it supports the YUY2 video format and stereo sound. No more having to rely on downscaling to 720p just to record 60fps footage. Nice review by the way.

      I personally use display port from my Pc to my monitor to game on. Then, when I play console, I swap my monitor to the hdmi input which is from the splitter connected to my console/capture card.

    • @Activater

      What is the mic you own?
      Technically you can send your mic to your stream pc through other means. The capture card takes the audio from your game PC, but if you dont have it so you can hear yourself talk on your game pc you're not gonna hear it in the capture card.
      4. quick ideas:
      1. Open OBS on the game PC and apply a dedicated NDI filter to the mic. Then add a "NDI Source" on your stream PC obs and it'll be there.
      2. Get NewTek NDI and just capture your audio from the "scan converter" app that comes with it. Just send that audio over like step 1 and capture it like step 1.
      3. If your mic has a headphone port on it, ug a 3.5mm cable to 3.5mm cable into it and then into you laptops mic input.
      4.if no mic input on your stream PC, plug it in via USB and run the same 3.5mm cable from your mic to your GAME pcs mic input.

    How do you obtain audio? Are you using an external mic?

    • @Activater
      @Activater  4 года назад

      The audio for the device being plugged into the capture card? My mic is a separate source for my PC. If you're struggling to get audio to connect inside of OBS, make sure you check this: prnt.sc/tgu4lw

      Have you tried using a USB cable to plug it into your PC? I assume you plugged it in directly? I've been hearing issues of the device for SOME reason overheating and then it's just a black screen. Also, maybe test a secondary device plugged into it PLUS try another PC if you have one! :D

      @Activater  3 года назад

      What adapter? The capture card? Also, im not 100% sure but some signals can't be converted that easily. If you're using this little capture card, it should just be micro hdmi from your camera to hdmi with this capture card.

      I haven't had a problem while using an extension. However, others without the extension have been having some weird issues every now any then. Maybe I'll sacrifice my card and test that.

    Thank you for your video! I’ve bought both the capture card and the hdmi splitter you use in the video. Could you try to explain to me and help out with this hookup? I think I have it right, but the video capture video isn’t showing. The PS4 is showing on my tv through the splitter so I’m not sure why the VCC isn’t..

      @Activater  3 года назад

      oof, I thought I answered this. I generally plug my console mic into my console, and have a separate mic for my PC. Also, I end up sending the audio from party chat to my pc by setting the console to send the audio over speakers rather than headset.

      I have not tried this with a firestick. However, as long as the source you are plugging into the capture card is and HDMI source, you should be fine. I think the firestick is an HDMI device right?

    • @Activater
      @Activater  4 года назад

      You need a mic to capture yourself. most headsets don't play your voice to your speakers/headphones. You'll need a separate mic on your PC to capture your audio.
      The party chat can be captured by sending your party audio to your "speakers" in your console settings.
