Fromwhat little I saw of it today (it's new to me too), an audio mixer comes with the software. Shouldn't need it if you don't want to use it. It's probably for mixing from multi sources, may be whether it be multi instruments or audio sources from home/business or mixing audio from others streaming with you.
You know when I was making my purchasing decisions, I asked a zillion questions. NO one mentioned this. It is disappointing to discover at the 11th hour that I am going to have to spendeven MORE money.
HDMI on PC is output only, so yes, you'd need an HDMI capture card, either internal or USB. I would think USB version be handier. I've never bought one, but I would think that it would come with any necessary software. Or at the very least, where to download the software from.
No I still have to buy the cable and a new camera but now people are talking about OBS streaming software and mixers. It's beginning to get complicated. I want to make sure that I am not going to find that there is even more to get. I am already 33% over budget with just the computers and I can't keep just spending and spending.
As mentioned, the capture card should come with any needed software. Otherwise, how will the pc recognize it? Hopefully the "mixer" part doesn't get to you. If you don't need it, you shouldn't have to use it.
I'm connecting an XA10 to a computer (Windows) via HDMI with a video capture card, to use the XA10 as a remote camera for a livestream event, but when I connect everything the HDMI output drops to only 480 rather than the 1080 I have it set to push out.
As you can see in the video below, I have the HDMI output set to 1080, but when I attach the capture card to the computer, that setting greys out and the HDMI status says it's only pushing out 480. And I can visually confirm on the computer that the feed is SD and not FHD.
I don't know the manufacturer of the camera card. It's NOT Elgato's product. It's a lower-cost knock-off that I bought from the The Camera Store in Calgary, Canada. I'm working through troubleshooting with them; they say they've never had a customer report this problem before. FWIW, looks like the same card is sold on Amazon by MavisLink, but I suspect they're just using the same manufacturer as the The Camera Store.
Found my solution: Get a better capture card. The HDMI output works just fine with the Elgato Cam Link 4K. You get what you pay for, I guess. I exchanged the knock-off card for the Elgato and all is now well.
The other way is to use something like LIRC with an IR blaster, an HDMI capture card, and a script or something that hooks into the scheduler of PLEX. I have not seen any DVB cards that work with paid channels since the early 2000s.
@Mastic_Warrior Thank you for that reply. I actually looked at that video and was thinking that may be one of the only ways to go. If I am ok with manually tuning the satellite box, do you know of any internal video capture card that I could maybe pass in an HDMI or Component that will capture whatever comes across?
There are some devices on Ali Express that will do that but their legality in your region may be questionable.
ETAPrime also did a review of an android box that has an HDMI in and it will actually capture anything that it receives as input. you can also record to file from Android directly.
I have been using streaming services almost entirely for years, only got the satallite because my parents have one with Dish. Dish has an add on for 7 bucks a month for travelers / camping and i live in an RV, so I added it and get all their channels, but no DVR.
I have been stream hopping for awhile, but you have to have all of them today. The others are all becoming one and like the big cable companies and as expensive as just getting cable. I used to grab over the air when i was in Chicago where they had lots of channels and clear signal. However now i live in basically a hollar in rural far East TN where if im lucky i can get 5 channels clearly, all but one is garbage.
Oh of course! It was more a perfect storm (and lapse in judgement) with this and being in the middle of switching backups but took too long and let the one lapse before deploying the other. Had I at least had a RAID 5 with only one disk failing I would have had a significant chance to rebuild that disk. You live, and you learn!
Thank your Greg for the reply.
Aja card is super expensive, so I better stick with Elgato. Can you tell me if it works with current pipeline for Virtual Production? I mean can I use it for live green screen and Virtual camera at the same time?
Okay, on the PC side i was able to see the camlink feed. Can you or anyone suggest how i can make that feed a texture on a mesh so that It shows the live feed while running the project (launched). Imagine a stage with an LED screen on it. I want to feed the LED screen live.
@TraShPanda425 That link I posted earlier shows how to setup a media player that plays live video in a HUD. The mediaplayer makes a texture you can also apply to an object like a cube or plane. Just try going into an object and selecting the texture from your media player, should just work.
I did take a look at your frame configuration shown above. Why are you configuring the "number of frames" to be transmitted as zero? This is the main reason you're getting that error. You need to capture atleast one frame of data.
Also, I apologize for the misdirection in my previous reply. Configuring "number of frames" as 0 leads to an infinite capture time and hence that should work, so it is not the frame config that is causing that error.
In your related post, where you have also attached the mmWave Studio log, I see you're using only one chirp i.e Chirp 0 in your chirp configuration which leads to TDA Configuration with Width : 2048 and Height : 2
I believe this can be a limitation i.e height cannot be less than 2 and configuring one chirp will configure TDA Height as 1. But I'm not 100% sure on this. Let me check this with the concerned team internally and I will get back to you by Wednesday.

The VisionSC-HD4+ is shipped with adapter cables for either HDMI or DVI.
What you are receiving from TVTime is a wrong redirection to the appropriate device, which is leading tvtime to /dev/video0, if you are having a webcam, usb plugged or embedded then tvtime is trying to acquire images from the webcam instead of the TV Tuner. Try changing this value with /dev/video1, /dev/video2 or whatever it works for you.
I have the Hauppauge HVR-1250. The HVR-1250 has the Conextant CX23885 drivers. It works out of the box for digital ATSC tuner capture with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, which has kernel 3.2.0. In the /dev folder it shows as /dev/dvb. The analog capture (for the composite and S-Video, not the analog tuner) is supported in kernel versions 3.5.5 and above. I installed kernel 3.5.5 in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and I can record Digital HDTV OTA from my antenna and analog capture from my cable receiver box via the composite cable. The analog driver shows as /dev/video0 in the /dev folder.
OBS and other third-party capture and streaming software are great, but there are limitations, let's say you want to stream gameplay from a game console or use an HDMI camera instead of a webcam; the easiest way to get them to work your PC without an external or internal capture card.

\nWith software like OBS, you are entirely reliant on your system resources, such as your CPU or GPU, when it comes to capturing video inputs. That can drain if you capture at a high bit rate and try to play a game simultaneously. Modern CPUs have improved at the necessary multi-tasking, but a dedicated capture card can help lighten the load.
This is less of a concern on some modern graphics cards, as Nvidia's RTX series of GPUs use a dedicated hardware encoder called NVENC to minimise the load on your system, whereas AMD cards can use VCN, or Video Core Next. However, dedicated capture cards can still provide advantages in terms of features and support.
If you're asking on purely technical terms, however, then yes, they can. Capture cards often use Chroma Subsampling to reduce bandwidth requirements, which will reduce the final picture's quality. Though it's worth bearing in mind that once you upload your footage to a service like YouTube, they will severely drop the quality anyway. So there's not a tremendous loss overall as a result.
