Question / Help Broadcasting on the Surface Pro 2

So far I have had no trouble broadcasting on the Surface Pro 2, but I seem to be unable to record in 1080. 720 is no problem but when I record in 1080 it puts black in the dimensions outside of the 1280x720 pixels. Does this mean the hardware will not support recording in 1920x1080? Ultimately it isn't a deal breaker, it just that the higher resolution makes things a little easier. Apparently the Surface Pro uses Intel HD Graphics 4400 embedded graphics. Also in the settings when I tell it to use monitor 1, the only monitor attached, the resolution switches automatically to 720. I find this odd given that the native resolution of the Surface Pro 2 is 1080. I'm guessing the hardware just doesn't support 1080 recording but if I'm wrong I figure this would be the place for the solution. Thanks for any help

Sincerely

Do you think you could post a log? I would be interested in seeing its system specs and the setup you are running with it.

Oops sorry I didn't include this before normally I'm pretty good about reading the forum intro posts. Anyway I've tried to remedy this situation by lowering the fps to as low as 10 as I don't need a lot of frames for what I'm trying to do. You'll also notice I currently have two monitors plugged into the Surface but I've tried capturing with just one plugged in before and the results where the same. In the preview screen I can see the first 1280x720 pixels but every pixel after that is black. I you like I can post a screen shot of it. I should also mention I get the same result regardless of 64 or 32 bit. Thanks for any help.

The system only has two cores, and you're trying to stream 1080p. You should probably use 1.5 or 2.0 downscale for it, you just don't have sufficient CPU power to handle it.

I actually figured this issue out. If you right click on the monitor capture source, under properties you'll notice that the sub regions is set to 1280 x 720 by default. It will record at this value even if the Sub-Region box is not checked. To fix this issue, check the sub region box and manually put in 1920 x 1080, and it will remove the black boxes.
