I'm looking to invest in a capture card but a lot of this tech stuff flies right over my head. Reading the "spec" posts about capture cards has me completely lost and I need to get this information in plain english, if they can or cannot do what I need.
I'm hoping to purchase a capture card, but money is a bit of an issue. I need a figure to save towards. I am looking to capture console play from both this and previous generations. Capturing sound and video from the game is a must, and I would like for it to work with OBS (I love this program!) as an input so that my microphone can be a separate input to the program.
EDIT: I'm looking for this for STREAMING on twitch.tv
My laptop streams PC games perfectly in 720p and I have a 150/10 internet connection.
- Has three USB 3 slots
- Setup is right next to consoles
- Windows 8.1
The consoles I want to be able to capture are:
SNES/N64/Gamecube/Wii/WiiU
Playstation/PS2/PS3/PS4
XBox/XBox360
The ability to capture older systems is a must, and I'm of course able to work with overlays and such to avoid re-sizing the inputs too much and completely butchering what little quality they have. So i suppose a card that has those three colored plugs? (I can buy an adapter as well for the old consoles with the screwy-plug so they work with the three colored plugs or maybe run them through my VCR.)
Could anyone make some card recommendations in plain english with how much it costs, and if it can do what I need? Thank you very much. :)
