This item DOES allow you to record PS3 footage!
I looked at SO many capture devices and could not find a definitive answer anywhere. So, I thought I would write this quick review to let people know that you CAN use this capture device to record footage from your PS3 console directly and bypass the annoying HDCP that the PS3 has on at all times. It may also work on some other HDCP sources as well but I haven't tried those.At this point, I've only tried it a few times and of course, being a non-branded piece of tech means it could just fail randomly in the future but as of right now, it works perfectly.It records both video (up to 1080p) and audio. The set up is very easy and requires no drivers or updates if you're using Windows 10.All you have to do is:1. Plug the device into your PC via a USB 3.0 port (it says it supports 2.0 as well but I haven't tested that)2. Plug your HDMI cable into the back of your PS3, then the other end into this device.3. Turn on the PS3 console.4. On the PC that you're recording to, open OBS and create a new source by pressing the + button in the sources box (As you can see in the picture I named mine PS3 Capture), leave everything as default, click OK and it should now be showing your PS3 in the preview video.NOTES: There is no way to record this way while playing the game on your TV. In other words there is no passthrough like you would get on an Elgato for example. There is a way to hear the sound through the OBS preview but in my experience it has a small delay on it that will also be present in the recording. However, I'm sure there's a way to do it properly, I just don't know how. I usually record random footage for reviews as opposed to Lets Plays so for me the sound isn't important. I use OBS to record and have not tried this on any other video capture programs but I see no reason as to why it wouldn't be roughly the same.If recording footage from a PS3 console is what you're trying to do then I would recommend giving this thing a try. Hopefully it will last a long time if used carefully.

Excellent Little Gadget But Only Records in MONO
The item worked first time of asking, the picture is excellent one issue is I can't hear the sound whilst recording but the sound is there when playing it back. It's the first time I have used OBS but I'll get used to it.I do have other devices to capture video and this is a worthy addition. My laptop was a bit under powered to run it as the picture was a bit choppy. However when installed on my Desktop (Win 10 quad core) PC it runs fine. Well Recommended.UPDATE. As other reviewers have said this device only records in Mono - I tried with various gadgets and also had a look in advanced audio settings, it would be great if someone from Venker could explain why this is.

Really good capture card…Just a sound delay
I did have my doubts about a capture card this cheap. It seemed too good to be true! However it works fantastically. Pretty much plug and play. I don’t use OBS Studio, but OBS Streamlabs with it which is easy to set up. The only issue I have so far is a slight sound delay, but that’s probably due to my set up. I use it to live stream from my Nintendo Switch and it’s pretty much flawless. I saw a lot of people complain about heat issues, which I was concerned about. After 4 hours of live streaming with it, I checked it’s heat. It was warm at best. Not hot at all.I really like this product. I’ve given it 4 stars due to the sound delay, but will amend that if I find out it’s due to my set up and not the device itself.

Exploded burning my usb port during stream, Mono only
Last night, during the live stream, it started to smell like something is burning. Then I've heard the tick sound and everything went gone. When I touched the adaptor I almost burned my fingers, it was so hot. After close investigation, the USB port at my screen (the adaptor was connected to) is burned and the adaptor itself is burned. So check if it's not overheating, otherwise it can cause a big trouble.MONO ONLY! I was using it for PS4 live stream and for the camera. For PS4 it was working fine, nice quality and almost no delays. Unfortunatelly it is mono only, and there is no option to change it, so if you are ok with that sound quality, then it's ok.

Honestly a fantastic product for the price
This product is honestly fantastic and probably the best captured device for value on Amazon. The quality is amazing and it’s so easy to set up - you do need to install third party software however. You just plug it into your hdmi output and into you laptop or computer. I used it with an Xbox series x just fine. Gameplay quality is really good. This is great for casual streamers or for people making a casual gameplay captures. Naturally the limitation here is that it only captures 60fps at 720p, so 1080p gameplay is only at 30fps but this really isn’t an issue considering the amazing price. That said I haven’t yet worked out how to configure it to capture at 60fps but even if I don’t it’s still not an issue considering the amazing price. Also worth noting that captures are exported and saved in quite large file sizes. 30fps 1080p gameplay is about 2gb every 3 mins, so if you have a low storage capacity so consider this. Overall this product is awesome considering the price.

Already being well used
The media could not be loaded. We are a family of YouTubers and streamers. When the capture card arrived my youngest son grabbed it and decided to put it to use! I don't get a look in when he is around. We haven't used it on Twitch yet but have had it connected to OBS streaming software without any difficulty. OBS connects easily to YT or Twitch. The instructions were straightforward and very easy to follow. The capture card was set up within minutes, though it does help to know your software before you begin. Additionally, the quality was perfect and would work on any platform. This capture card so far has been plugged into the PS4, but I can see how you can use it easily in other consoles and devices even for a novice streamer.
