Roxio Game Capture: Using HDMI to 5 Component Converter?
I have a Roxio Game Capture, NOT HD PRO, and the output I need to connect from is an HDMI output which I can't do with the Rixio. So I need to convert HDMI to 5 component cables (The 2 for audio and 3 for HD Video). This will allow me to connect the output to the Roxio Game Capture. My question is can I just have a cable, one end HDMI and the other Component and connect it or do I need an HDMI to Component converter? Thanks in advance.
Roxio Game Capture HD Pro HDMI vs Component?
Hi. I have a Roxio Game Capture HD Pro. It is a great product, has a great editing software, and I can easily render in 1080p HD. I have the component cable setup for it, and I was wondering if my quality would improve if I used the HDMI setup instead. Also, considering the quality difference IF it improves, would it be worth buying the HDMI cables? Thanks for your help!
Hdmi cables for ps3 and roxio game capture hd pro?
The PS3 won't work to record through HDMI. You need component cables like these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000MIXFWA... To plug the capture card into the TV though, you can use HDMI cables and really any cable will work.
Roxio Game Capture - Color Missing From TV?

Can I use an HDMI converter to connect PS4 to laptop to play games on laptop screen?
If you're asking if you can connect your PS4 to a salvaged laptop LCD with an adapter, the short answer is no. The long answer is you can do it, but at the very least you'll need an inverter (if it's a conventional LCD with a CCFL backlight, and not an LED backlight) and power supply to operate the backlight of the screen and an HDMI to LVDS converter (an active converter, not just a passive adapter or cable). Assuming you have the laptop screen already, you're still going to spend an amount rapidly approaching the cost of a small LCD television with an HDMI input (around $70-100 in parts, and it won't be in any kind of case or on a stand). Of course, LVDS is one of the most common interfaces for LCD panels, but it's not the only one out there. You'd have to know which interface your panel has, and have a pinout for it if it uses a non-standard connector.If you're asking about using the screen on your laptop as a monitor, then again, the short answer is no, but the long answer is yes. You'd need a USB-based HDMI video capture device to connect to your computer. These are the same interfaces people use on Livestream, Ustream, and Twitch. Common vendors are Hauppauge, Blackmagic, AverMedia, and Roxio. Again, you're looking and spending some money here. While the lower cost devices can be had for around $50-70, the better quality devices run $150-200 or more. They also tend to be laggy unless you have a pretty powerful machine (which is why they work pretty well for gamers that like to stream).Not sure where you are, but here in the US, you can get a low-end 19" LCD TV for around $100 local retail with an HDMI input (BestBuy has a two Insignia models on sale right now for $90). That would be larger than almost every laptop screen out there (except perhaps the old Dell XPS M2030, which was the size of a large briefcase and had a 20.3" screen).
Complicated problem: PS3 Component Cables/Roxio Game Capture?
We need to make sure we're all on the same page in what we're calling things. Composite video is carried on a single RCA type cable/connectors color-coded yellow and is limited to 480i resolution (NTSC SD). (Both Composite and Component use Red/White Right/left stereo audio). Component video is carried on 3 RCA cables, often in a Y/Pb/Pr format, color-coded Green/Blue/Red respectively (Y=Green, etc) and can carry 480, 720 or 1080 i or p (interlaced or progressive scan) - from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component_v... The pertinent sentences are "When used without any other qualifications the term component video usually refers to analog YPBPR component video with sync on luma." (Which is Y, which we call Brightness/Contrast, which is why it's B/W). "Component video is capable of carrying various signals, such as 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p and beyond." Currently, however, very few, if any 1080p signals are transmitted via any medium except Blu-ray players and game consoles. This is where your PS3 comes in. The way to get monochrome (B/W) video these days is to have a Composite cable (Yellow) connected to the Y channel input (Green) - it will not be a clean B/W since the input is getting color signals it does not know what to do with. The other way to get B/W is to have only the Green plugged in, with the Blue/Red not connected - this will be a "clean" B/W. The quality of the monochrome image will help you determine what you have mis-connected. (The reason you can't use HDMI cable to your Roxio is Sony encrypts content with HDCP - High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection to prevent unauthorized copying, implemented in HDMI). This site has colorful, easy to read diagrams showing how to connect each console/capture device/PC or laptop/display properly to get all you want: http://www.roxio.com/enu/promotions/land... Hope this helps you out - Good luck!
Can a Roxio Game Capture record laptop footage?
I have had a lot of help on which device to buy to record my game footage for Xbox and PS3 games and Roxio seems to be a highly regarded choice. I was wondering if the Roxio (whether standard or HD model) would be able to record games that I play on my laptop too as I'd love to share games such as Amnesia-The Dark Decent?
Would I be able to use Component RGB YPbPr to HDMI Converter to hook up to a roxio game capture hd pro?
I think I have good news for you, but I am not sure since I don't know which Roxio capture device you're talking about. But if it's this one (on the right - Roxio Game Capture HD PRO): http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/game-c... then you're in luck - you don't need an HDMI cable or a Component to HDMI converter. I'm quite sure the one your URL pointed to would work, but all you have to do is use the set of Xbox Component cables you already have instead of the Component cables Roxio includes for the PS3. Just ignore the HDMI In to the Roxio altogether and you're good to go (instead of the Xbox setup diagram - the first one, look underneath it to the PS3 setup diagram and use that instead, but with your Xbox Component cables instead of the PS3 cables). The reason it shows HDMI for Xbox is it delivers top quality in one cable, and Xbox has no HDCP issues. Sony, however, encodes its games with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection to attempt to stop unauthorized copying of digital content, which is why the Roxio uses HD Component cables instead of HDMI - no HDCP issues. So save your money (and the lag issues introduced by converters in fast moving game play) and use what you have. Try it! You've nothing to lose - if it doesn't work, then get the converter (and I did look at it and it would work - in fact it's even HDCP compliant!). Hope this helps - good luck!
