Hauppauge HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition (Windows 10) - 8Bit Mammoth - Hauppauge Capture

 

This blog post is primarily aimed at people using the device as I do, but also should provide some useful information for others. Warning: Please note I purchased this device at a car boot sale.

The lady I purchased from said she had two of the Hauppauge devices. This blog post is for people already with the devices and I hope the instructions are indeed for the Gaming Edition as I believe they are. Also any other actions you take, such as disconnecting and connecting cables, you take at your own risk! Instead I was using Ashampoo Snap to record tutorials and gameplay footage. When i originally got the device I wanted to quickly test it solely on a Windows PC with one monitor.

I prefer to use two monitors, with either Hauppauge Capture or OBS Studio running on one screen, with my actions being captured on the other monitor. Instead I visited the Hauppauge website and downloaded the 2nd June release.

For the OBS Studio details, please scroll further down the blog post. The PC has two monitors connected. My favourite feature of the software is that when I press the button on the device it will either start or stop recording.

When recording, I am able to hear the audio via my headset, as well as Hauppauge software record the gameplay audio and my microphone. Later I recorded some gameplay footage with a webcam, but as mentioned earlier my computer specifications are not good enough for Hauppauge.

Note: The video files you create with the software can be very large. Try clicking on the sound icon in the bottom right of the Capture software to disable the option and record a test video with audio to see if the echo has disappeared.

Using a dual monitor setup enables me to easily monitor OBS Studio. The screenshot below was taken when I pressed the print screen button to capture both monitors in one image.

Some people might not need this device at all and have their requirements met in other ways. Header Menu Skip to content. Who is this blog post for? Install the Hauppauge drivers and software.

Also try updating to the latest drivers supplied by your graphics card manufacturer.

If you are running an AMD graphics card in the PC which the HD PVR 2 is connected to, you may experience a slight change in brightness every few seconds while in the preview or edit screens. This is due to an issue with hardware acceleration that we have seen in some AMD drivers. This shift does not affect recordings and typically can be eliminated by either changing drivers for the graphics card or by disabling Hardware acceleration. This is caused by either a slow processor in your laptop or desktop PC, or the display adapter is having a problem.

Make sure your video card meets the minimum requirements. Also try updating to the latest drivers supplied by the manufacturer. In September , there was a problem with the ATI graphics driver which would cause jerky video or freezing of the video screen.
