Knowing from the beginning this device is unable to capture above 1080p, I knew it wouldn’t be a contender. More detailed information can be found from both EposVox (2018) and Todd’s Nerd Cave (2018) video reviews. Also, with the AVerMedia Capture Device not working as needed, I decided to give the StarTech device a test, just to satisfy my curiosity. I can’t fault nor do I blame AVerMedia because it was never advertised as doing so, but it is a little disappointing. For consistency, here is the 1920×1080 gameplay I was able to capture with MiSTer.Īs originally stated, this device was purchased with the intent of only converting VHS tapes to digital format for Plex streaming. I reached out to AVerMedia’s official Twitter account, and was provided this information. However, this device was purchased on the assumption that if a device could support up to 4k60, it should support 12. While 1440 is a more supported resolution, 1200 is not. The bundled software with AVerMedia, the RECentral 4, produced the same results with the exception Line5x at 1920×1080 displaying an image not correctly processed.Īfter some additional troubleshooting, Windows Updates, etc. The only supported modes with OBS were Line2x (480), Line3x (720) where gameplay could be captured. Changing Line5x format to 1920×10×1200 also didn’t render an image through OBS. Settings were in Line5x mode, with Line5x mode formatted to 1920×1200. Using an OSSC, this is where I came across the constant “NO SIGNAL” screen. Setup was super easy and after flashing the firmware, I went straight into OBS to setup the capture device. A device advertised to support passthrough and capturing up to 4Kp60. So, initially, I decided to forgo using the device and began looking for an alternative, with the ability to capture 4k.Īfter some research, I decided to purchase an AVerMedia Live Gamer Ultra capture device. Since I’m working on a YouTube Series, capturing at least Line5x in at 1920×1200 would be a nice feature. Prior to the release of his article, I purchased a StarTech USB capture card with the purpose of only digitizing family VHS tapes to digital (for Plex), so my expectations with this device weren’t high for this experiment. But with the fact it’s aging hardware and the Amazon price is roughly $880, I wanted to look for other options. Recently, SmokeMonster published an article detailing how to achieve 5x and 6x mode with MiSTer, and with the use of a Datapath Vision E1/E1S Capture Card, being able to record or stream lagless gameplay.
