Hello, I´ve sent the Supercast X6 back because of stuttering issues during watching & recording.
I´ve already read that the CaptureX HDMI 1080P have the same stuttering issues so I won´t buy it. http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/334145-HDCP-strippers/page17
My config: I have a STB with hmdi and spdif out. I also got a hdfury 4k splitter. I want to watch / capture 1080i50 PAL via HMDI with 5.1 over SPDIF.
Is in fact the Hauppauge Colossus the "only" solution because I can use SPDIF input which ignores the SCMS copy protection of the STB? In my opinion 20MBit/s x264 recording is good, but the card is quite old...
Or can I also use the Hauppauge HD PVR2 GE Plus with SPDIF in? Does it ignores SCMS or not? If it does, is 14Mbit/s not enough for h264 recording?
I also don´t see any advantage if i will buy a Decklink Studio 4K or Decklink 4K Extreme. I´m not an expert but in my opinion both can´t record AC3 if I look at the specifications, or am I wrong?
