![]() I originally used it to capture component (RGB) from my Cisco PVR (used by AT&T Uverse). It connects via USB to my old, but very fast, Lenovo laptop running Windows 7. I use the Hauppauge 1512 HD-PVR 2 and it captures everything. The Hauppage HD-PVR II is essentially the same hardware and all of the above applies to it as well. I don't know if OBS supports the Colossus 2 but Hauppauge Capture is likely to be a better choice. The Colossus 2 comes with Hauppauge Capture and a version of WinTV (8?). TS is the native container file format that the Hauppauge Colossus 2 uses for output. It looks like analog stereo audio is always captured as 2-channel AAC. It only allows capturing H.264 video and uses an onboard chip to do the encoding. However, this capture device won't allow users to capture uncompressed video. Yes, it can capture composite video via the blue component video RCA connector on its analog AV breakout cables, which also includes the typical red and white RCA connections used for stereo audio. I don't think the Hauppauge Colossus 2 is the kind of device that you want. ![]() Also! everything is turned off every single night so nothing would ever be allowed to sit there running, getting hot. Can these cards do uncompressed video? I would even be happy with Obs studio if it worked? I would be happy with *.ts format if the software could do it. I am not wanting maxed out-settings regarding recordings! but want to record from an Humax DR-1010S via composite. Honestly, if you want to use a capture device to be able to make recordings that do not require using your set-top box to watch, you are better off if you rent a PVR from your service provider, and re-record its recordings instead of making your computer into a PVR with a Hauppauge capture device. ![]() It may take more than one try to get a good capture from these capture devices. If that isn't done, they don't operate correctly. They both need to be power cycled every few days. This solution isn't workable today and it wasn't a completely reliable solution in 2014 because Hauppauge's HD capture devices aren't intendeded to be left on for days on end. I used Windows 7's Media Center as my recording software and was able to change channels with an IR Blaster. In 2014, I used an original Colossus to record the output from a set-top box to watch at a more convenient time. Unfortunately, I don't know what splitters work for removing HDCP today. Recording from HDMI won't work unless you happen to have an HDMI splitter that removes HDCP as a side effect. Recording from the set-top box's component video and stereo analog audio connections may be your only real option. Tia The following applies to both the HD PVR 2 and the Colossus II. also are they good at recording? I want to record of a set-top box and maybe some old stuff like vhs tape. The external version I can carry that around anywhere or can change the pc with no fuss!īut the internal version is far more tidy and with no psu! Hauppauge Colossus 2 or HD PVR 2 model 1507/01512 I am torn between these as per title of the thread:
