I tried using the capture board "Live Gamer HD" that allows full HD game play recording without imposing a load on the CPU

When inputting output signal from graphic card, video capture board which can record and record the same contents video at the same time while outputting it to display with pass-through is "Live Gamer HD AVT-C 985(Tax included 10,980 yen) ". In addition to being able to record play movies such as games operated on PCs, it is possible to capture anything as long as it can output HDMI, such as "Xbox 360" (HDCP not supported). Moreover, since the preview screen is output completely with pass-through, the delay is not pear. Furthermore, since it is possible to record a 1080p game screen at 30 fps, because the encoding of the moving picture is done on the board, it plays with high-spec games which require almost full load on the CPU and require full use of the PC capability Recording is possible without decreasing the processing capability even when it is done.

◆ I installed it

I decided to insert a board into the desktop machine like this.


Remove the screw ... ....


Open the side panel.


Free PCI Express 2.0 slot × 1 required.


Just insert the board into the slot and you can.


When recording a game playing on PC, it is OK to set up like this.


Basically, it is configured that the HDMI cable which was connected to the display is inserted in the capture board and the HDMI cable etc. connected to the output of the capture board is connected to the display.


This time, it is output from the DVI to the capture board and is output from the capture board with the HDMI cable. In this case, you need to connect the audio output cable.


You can also record screens by inserting a notebook PC or "Xbox 360" into the capture board via HDMI.


In this case, insert the HDMI cable connected to the notebook PC to the input of the capture board and the HDMI cable connected to the display to the output OK.
