Struggling to find a fully compatible HDMI capture device for my iMAC, I am trying to live stream a drone race, I have 6 analogue feeds going into a security system DVR which then outputs via either HDMI or VGA, im capturing the HDMI signal with an Elgato HD60 however I then learn that the OSX version of OBS doesnt support the Elgato HD60 so I tried to use window capture and its very laggy like 4 FPS, I also tried the Black Magic mini recorded but that didnt do the required 1080p 60FPS so didnt work at all.

Can anyone suggest a device that would capture my DVR HDMI 1080 60fps natively so it comes up as a video capture device or should I just capture the 6 analogue video feeds direct to the iMac and skip the DVR? If so what device(s) can I use to capture 6 feeds?

thankyou in advance for any responses

Ben

AJA UTAP HDMI does 1080p60. Requires USB 3 ports. No drivers needed, works with OBS or just about anything else.

I'm using a Magewell USB Capture HDMI Plus over USB3.0 to capture HDMI from various gaming devices feeding into an HDMI switch, haven't had any problems getting a 1080p60 signal into OBS so far. No drivers required, shows up as Video Capture Device.

Edit: Granted, Magewells are pretty pricey compared to other solutions.
