We understand that limited use of non-approved cameras may be necessary in certain situations. Netflix is available to navigate those specific image capture decisions. Please reach out to your Netflix point of contact with any questions or concerns specific to your production. For information on using Non-Approved Cameras see: Non-Approved Cameras: Recommended Settings & Best Practices.
Note: Not all cameras that meet these capture requirements are approved. These requirements are the minimum specifications necessary for a camera system to be considered for approval. Other attributes must be taken into account such as dynamic range, form factor, stability, workflow compatibility, and more.
Cameras that have been approved for Netflix productions are listed below. We will continue to maintain and update this list as new camera systems become available and are evaluated by our technologists.
While not required for Netflix productions, the following best practices will help productions avoid common pitfalls and workflow errors that can lead to added costs, lost time, or creative compromises.
To ensure on-set framing meets the creative and technical needs of your production, a framing chart should be shot before principal photography begins and processed through the dailies, editorial, and VFX pipelines.
When using anamorphic lenses, extra resolution may be required for capture. Camera selection should take this additional need into account. Cameras that meet this resolution requirement and are approved for anamorphic capture are designated in the list above. If you are unsure if your desired camera system has the necessary resolution or have questions about anamorphic capture, Netflix is here to help. Please contact your Netflix project lead to discuss implications or concerns.
In some instances, productions may require the use of approved cameras with external recorders. The recording format should be in line with minimum requirements outlined at the head of this document, and should be discussed with your Netflix point of contact.
The listing never had comments. The trouble with the listing you have there is that there are a bunch of sellers throwing up different 1x2 splitter models and then people comment on them without specifying who sold it to them.
I did apply your advice globally, but also using comments to verify. Yes, many complain about Amazon's nilly-willy mismatching of comments to "related products". They now seem to be adding the titles of the original products from where the comments came, which is a help.
So, is your above link the actual name of the seller "CVID", from who you found a working splitter? No point throwing away money on one without the full functionality they suggest -- Blu-ray, PS3, etc.
Like the Amazon reviews, some are finding models that once worked are not working in later shipments -- indicating different versions with less capabilities. However, someone in the last pages of the thread found that the Sewell splitter does work. It may be another good link ... at this point in time anyway. :)
Thanks for your answer. I already read all above messages from this topic and.... to be honest, I'm only a vet MD, and all this technical details are a little to much for me. I just want to buy a device that could be built-in a PC desktop (that I already own) with last gen Intel i7, W8 and tons of RAM (32 GB) and memory ( 2x 2TB).
What do you think about the Speed Demos Archive forum's thread I mentioned earlier? There's allot of activity there (regarding BlackMagic and other capture cards) and the mixed results with various splitters -- where some previously working boxes seemingly have been updated to be non-working, as regards taming HDCP.
I won't start to believe any claims of "updates" unless someone comes forward who CANNOT capture HDCP through the splitter to their BM device but CAN capture non-HDCP sources through the splitter to their BM device.
OK I have read through this and all this is very confusing and most all the links are dead because of linking to ebay, can you post links to an actual Store next time where items can be purchased or seen?
So we have a lot of projects lined up and some we still need good video for, namely Return of The Living Dead 2, I am not worried about audio because most of the titles we need for projects are only 2 channel anyways and we usually get the audio from the DVD or even the LD, in this case the LD, well I see Vudu has the HDX version available for PC download now, so how can I get this video? please if anyone knows how or can provide it to us we can make this project happen, someone was going to provide me with an how to video but he never came through, he said he does it through his PS3 somehow, but anyways any info on this would be a huge help to us and future cool projects.
I've determined the model numbers for all the cards I had listed now (not sure how I missed a couple of them in the descriptions before). So you can search on eBay ("include description") or elsewhere for those numbers.
well I see Vudu has the HDX version available for PC download now, so how can I get this video? please if anyone knows how or can provide it to us we can make this project happen, someone was going to provide me with an how to video but he never came through, he said he does it through his PS3 somehow, but anyways any info on this would be a huge help to us and future cool projects.
I've yet to see a PC that plays back Netflix without a frame drop somewhere, and I'm guessing Vudu is the same. Not to say it's impossible but I don't trust computers as the source for video capturing.
Now this would be great, but I would have to buy the program and then buy the HDX video and hope it all works, wish there was a way to know for sure before all the spending, I already spend 1 hell of a lot on the projects we do lol.
I bought a 4 way splitter last week that looks exactly the same as yours, and a Timeleak hd70a. installed the card and connected the splitter and tried both pinnacle studio 15 and honestech HD DVR 2.5 and no device is being recognised.
So now that I've assured you this isn't a question with the context of 2014, are there any new ways to be able to avoid screen capture on the web? I've assumed that it's impossible for a while, but it looks like there might be an API for it somewhere, and no one hasn't asked this question in years here. It'd be useful for preventing capture in my own JS websites, so I was just wondering how I could implement this myself. Thanks.
Your initial assumption is correct, it's impossible. The Netflix example is different, because it isn't preventing a screenshot of the webpage (which is why the subtitles still get captured) but of the video stream, which is embedded in the webpage, but not actually a part of it. The video isn't captured in your example because it's protected by Encrypted Media Extensions. This also means, though, that the video isn't playable in just any browser, it's only accessible in browsers that support EME.
So, the answer to "how do you prevent screen captures on the web" is "convince every browser manufacturer to include features in their browser that allow you to control screen capturing, and then only make your website available to browsers that support that feature" (which is essentially what Netflix did for video).
You could try playing a transparent DRM-protected video on top of your content (and forward any user event to the element below it). When the user takes a screenshot, the video should produce a solid overlay on top of your actual content.

Have you tried taking a screenshot of a Netflix movie or show and wound up with a "couldn't capture screenshot" error or a black image? Netflix doesn't let users take screenshots of copyrighted content, so they've taken many precautions to block the usual methods of screenshotting on all platforms. Fortunately, there are still easy ways to grab screenshots of your favorite Netflix scenes on your Android, iPhone, iPad, or Chromebook! This wikiHow article will show you the easiest ways to screenshot Netflix without getting a black screen or error on any platform.
Open Netflix.com on a computer and press PrtScr or Windows Key + PrtScr on Windows. On Mac, press Shift + Command + 3. This will capture a screenshot of your favorite show or movie without getting a black image instead.
With OTT platforms, you can view content worldwide from the comfort of your home. The largest platform, which provides movies, TV series, documentaries, and many more, is Netflix. One thing many of us would do at weekends is "Netflix and Chill." While Netflix allows users to download content, what if some show is getting pulled from the platform, or you want to save a clip from the shows?
Screen recording Netflix is against the company rules; for that matter, you cannot screen record on any OTT app. While agreeing to the terms of use, according to Section 4.6, you agree to not download, display, publish, license, reproduce, etc., any content without Netflix's permission.
But, if you use it for personal or non-commercial use, it is legal and not considered copyright infringement or violation. Now that you know the legalities of recording a Netflix screen, let us understand how to screen record Netflix without black screen.
