Do you need a separate HDCP stripper to record HDCP content using the Supercast X 6 HDMI card?
I thought i needed it before I bought it but when I set up my X6 yesterday I could plug both my PS4 and PVR directly into the card and get video and audio through.
As for the possibility to save the hdmi audio directly without reencoding it I'm not yet sure that's possible. The recording program seems to rely on a decode->encode pipleline for both audio and video. I only had about 30 minutes to test so I need to look more into that. Maybe I can set some sort of passthrough.
And on a side note; DTS audio did not work after installing the driver and capture program from SkyHD. Looks like it doesn't have a DTS decoding filter included. As it uses directshow filters I should be able to use a third party one if SkyHD doesn't have one on their pages.
Edit:
Even though you can play both audio and video without a HDCP stripper you get a HDCP error when trying to record. At least I got it when trying to record from my PS4. Using the ViewHD 1x2 splitter it worked fine.
Some good news and some bad news:
Recording 1080p60 from a PS4 works like a charm using the ViewHD 1x2 splitter. I used the UT video codec and multichannel pcm for audio (decoded from DTS). Havn't recorded any clips longer than a few minutes though.
TV channels from my HD PVR is another matter. On most channels (both HD and SD) I get sporadic image stuttering quite frequently. On some channels it seems to work without a glitch though. Not sure how they are different right now. The stuttering is there both in the X6 recording app and when recoring in VDub so it's related to the capture driver. Might be related to the HD PVR too but it never stutters when playing on a tv. I live in Europe so we got PAL framerates by the way.
