I am looking to record 720p videos off my Xbox 360. I was recommended to check out
Blackmagic Intensity Pro card (This is not spam. I need to learn how to do this properly to create high definition trailers of a video game I am making.)
I basically know nothing about HDMI and high definition.
From what I can tell, my Xbox is hooked to my 720p TV using component video (three RGB cables) and stereo audio (white and red cables; not sure what this is called). As far as I know, that is HDMI. Or rather the xbox outputs HDMI, and my cable converts it to component video and stereo audio. Am I on the right track?
I have a few questions:
- Should I go with HDMI cables to go directly from HDMI output from my Xbox to HDMI input on my capture card?
- Just want to verify that connection on the back of my Xbox 360 is in fact HDMI. Is it?
- I want to record some pretty crazy gameplay, and I do not want to play it lagged on my computer screen via the capture card. I want a capture card that outputs the single in HDMI (to use my Xbox 360 HDMI cables I am already using) to sent it back to my TV, in real time to play my game without any lag. No lag during capture is super important. I cannot stress this enough.
- Will any HDMI copy protection disable capture?
Thank you, anyone, so much for answering any of these questions!
