not personally tried that one, but seen these in use in various game recording scenarios. You would need to make sure the mac you are recording is outputting a "TV style" resolution like 720p or 1080. other than that no HDCP to worry about, and I've used some of the older elgato units that do feature hardware encoding.
Hope that helps a bit. FWIW elgato usually rebrand other devices such as hauppauge and supply (very good) mac compatible software, so if you can find out what actual harware is in the little white box you should find a bit more spec about what resolutions it supports and whether it contains an encoding chip or not On 20 November 2013 10:31, Jason Davies <[email protected]> wrote: > Is there any logical reason this would not work with a Mac of HDMI > persuasion to record the current screen? > > http://www.elgato.com/uk/gaming/game-capture-hd > > Ie it's designed for Playstation/Xbox in ->device->mac for capture.
