    Connecting HDMI to pc

    Hey guys I was wondering if there was any way to have a hdmi in port on my pc. I see there are some products that allow screen capture through usb but I was looking for an internal card.

    I have a ps4 that i would like to record me (very rarely) gaming on it. My hope is that I can have an expansion card in my pc that I could have hdmi in and plug my ps4 in here and then have a hdmi output that goes back to my tv. If I can not have the hdmi out that is fine as long as I can view the game on my pc while it is recording. I would also like to be able to just play my bluray player thru my pc and onto my monitor without recording just to watch things like netflix and blu ray on.

    If there is anything like what I am describing out there I would appreciate it if yu could point me to it.

          Hmm that is slightly more expensive than I was hoping for. I think I stumbled upon something like that before.

          For that kind of money I would like it to have HDMI out and rca red yello and white) inputs as well.

          But anyway thx

              yes there is!
              i got a usb because i need to test tablets laptops ,etc

              there is a PCIexpress version like this HDMI in / Out.

              the price depends on the input resolution.
              the AV its RGB+audio for PS2/PS3/XBOX/etc
              you can use combo like VGA to RGB, RGB-> DVI/HDMI

                  What might this device be called?

                  That sounds like exactly what I need.

                          The problem with hdmi is that capture cards can only capture unencrypted hdmi.

                          Playstation games can choose (I think) to enable the encryption or not, Xbox doesn't encrypt during gameplay but I think it encrypts during tv watching.

                          Also, bear in mind that some video players (bluray etc) are required to downscale the content if there's no encryption possible. So instead of just refusing to connect to a tv that doesn't support hdcp, they connect but the image is downscaled and blured a bit.

                          Some capture cards work around HDCP by capturing through RCA jacks (digital Y Pb Pr signal) or HD composite.

                          Avermedia makes some nice internal cards for example this one:

                          http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16815100100

                          Has hardware h264 encoder so your computer doesn't have to use CPU to encode and therefore you can play on same pc without encoder using resources.

                              Marantz SR4003 AVR HDMI board issue, seeking for help
                              by aliougm
                              I have problem with my AVR(Marantz SR4003) HDMI board issue. I connect to my TV but screen color distorted,see attached picture.

                              Connection as below:
                              Set-top box HDMI output >AVR 3 HDMI input/one HDMI output>HDTV HDMI port
                              If I bypassed AVR then HDTV screen color be good.

                              I take out HDMI board from AVR and check services manual the schematic shown the HDMI signals path:
                              3 HDMI input port > SIL9185 chip(HDMI switch) > SIL9033 chip(HDMI receiver) > SIL9030 chip(HDMI transmitter) > HDMI output port

                              I replaced all...

                              Certain DisplayPort-HDMI cables can disable HDMI CEC communication
                              by japlytic
                              With a setup including a TV and AV receiver where HDMI Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) and Audio Return Channel (ARC) functions were working, these two functions stopped working after changing some connections (not the one between the AV receiver and TV), so I believed it was a corrupt setting in the AV receiver or TV, but when I disconnected a passive DisplayPort-HDMI cable (which a Multimode DisplayPort connector supports HDMI with a low cost passive cable or adaptor) connected to a home theatre PC, HDMI CEC and ARC functionality was restored.

                              Toshiba 50UL2063DB randomly rebooting with HDMI-CEC and/or HDMI-ARC enabled
                              by spleenharvester
                              I have this TV hooked up to only an AppleTV 4K and a Creative soundbar. Originally HDMI-CEC and HDMI-ARC wouldn't work at all, I replaced all the HDMI cables with decent UGREEN cables meeting the latest standards, now it all works perfectly but once or twice a day the TV itself reboots while watching a program, the AppleTV keeps running. I haven't fully pinned down whether it is ARC or CEC causing it yet. All are running latest firmware.

                              I assume it is just HDMI-CEC being buggy as usual on a shitty Vestel machine, but can anyone think of anything I can try before disabling it?

                              LG LCD TV HDMI PORT FAULTY
                              by RossMoodley1967
                              LG LCD TV picture comes on intermittenly using hdmi port.The sound is on permantly.The hdmi ports looks fine and soldered in securely.The 3.4v coming to the main board is not present(not sure if will affect the hdmi port or where that voltage goes.)The hdmi cable is fine because it works on another tv.The ceramic caps connected to the hdmi controller ic is reading 39 ohms.Could the hdmi controller ic be faulty(feels very warm to touch).The RCA jacks work normally .Thank you in advance for your assistance..

                              Pioneer VSX-44 receiver HDMI dropouts
                              by RatherLoopy
                              I have an older Pioneer receiver (VSX-44) that's been dropping the HDMI output (black screen) for a few seconds every few minutes. Setup is HTPC -> Pioneer DVD HCMI in -> Pioneer HDMI out -> Samsung TV HDMI in, all with cheap HDMI cables that have never caused trouble before..

                              I initially found a lot of play in the receiver's HDMI inputs and output so I kind of squeezed them back into shape and they're making a tighter connection, but the problem persists.

                              And also, often, the HDMI will drop out in exactly the same way (black screen) just as my central air...
