in our recent video about the lgp light from a media many of you expressed
dissatisfaction with its 1080p 30fps recording limitation and asked why the
devil we didn't talk about the extreme cap u3 CV 710 instead because it can
record 1080p 60 FPS sorry about that
here it
is with the purchase of a qualifying Intel processor SSD or knck you could
instantly win an Intel gaming Jersey and be entered in the draw for the ultimate
system click now to learn more now because with motion blur 30fps delivers
Smooth video playback most online video platforms notably YouTube have up until
this point been limited to 30 FPS so even if you could capture at a higher
frame rate you wouldn't be able to publish to your viewers that way anyway
without some pretty janky workarounds well all of that is about to change so
the 60fps argument becomes one that's much more important and a lowcost 60fps
capture device could suddenly be a critical piece of equipment particularly
for game streamers who focus on action oriented games and that's what we have
here at around $150 the extreme cap u3
does 1080p 60 FPS capture from a camera
a separate PC or from a game console assuming you can find one that actually
runs games at 60 FPS like the Wii U but
considering that it has only one HDMI input with no pass through through and
one analog component input is it capable
of competing with the 2560x1440 60 FPS recording that NVIDIA
Shadow play users already enjoy well the
answer is a definite maybe one big
benefit of a standalone capture device is the ability to use it as a video
source for your favorite streaming software like xplit so I'm a big fan of
a media's live gamer portable for that reason back to this product though
unlike the live gamer portable it doesn't have a hardware h264 encoder
chip so your CPU will be doing the work it doesn't have the handy onun record
button and it doesn't have HDMI pass through and while a media claims that
due to the USB 3 interface the latency is so low that you should be able to
Output via HDMI to the CV 710 then play
off the preview window in practice I found that even using a validated usb3
chipset note that not all recording modes will be available on nonv
validated usb3 chipset this setup didn't work that well the leg
was very noticeable to me and I also observed more screen tearing than usual
now a solution to this would be to use an HDMI splitter which can be obtained
for about 20 bucks on Amazon which is more pieces though and more wires to
contend with but still manages to come in under $200 for a 60fps live streaming
and capture solution for console Gamers or PC Gamers who don't want to use a
screen capture software or a separate recording PC but there are some other
issues too after you run the USB port validation wizard while Rec Central is
actually pretty darn solid and amazingly easy to set up with either one-click
detection of your video Source or a wizard that lets you configure bit rate
frame rate whether your commentary audio will be mixed in or saved as a separate
file and your recording hotkey one big
thing that's missing with this device is the ability to capture at
29.97 FPS or 59 .94 FPS the frame rates
that most consumer AV Equipment will use
now to be clear it does work this is internally recorded and simultaneously
captured footage from a Canon xa20 camera they are just at slightly
different frame rates which may cause audio sync issues when editing very long
videos on a timeline unless you reconformation
for console Gamers it's fine but so is a
live gamer portable in most cases and for PC Gamers I'd have liked to see a
1440 30p capture option and HDMI pass
through and then for someone who's more interested in uncompressed video capture
from a equipment something it handles easily with premere and Vegas plugins
available for free although some kaj jiggering may be required to get it
going in Creative Cloud I'd have liked to see native support for the more media
Centric frame rate Ates which doesn't make it a bad product at all at this
price you cannot get a 60fps capture
device with this kind of ease of use and versatility it even works on Mac it just
feels like a version two of this product for a few bucks more with those little
niggles taken care of would be much more
compelling speaking of compelling we have a brand new sponsor on today's
episode bulls and they are currently offering a pretty ridiculous deal on a
very useful product IMO Bulls provides a
wide variety of different products from wireless adapters and Bluetooth speakers
to the one that we're highlighting today their brand new 7 Port USB charger which
is exceptional because with its rating of 60 wats or 12 amps you can
simultaneously charge five power hungry
devices like tablets at full speed it's
equipped with overcharge protection and each Port features an over current over
voltage and ShortCircuit protector the charger also features smart IC
technology which automatically determines the perfect charge and
charging speed for each device giving every device an oem quality charge this
is ideal for anyone who travels with a bunch of devices or with a large group
we will definitely be bringing this with us on our trips to PS and CES the bull 7
Port usb chargers normally $49.99 also
known as $50 especially cuz Canada's gotten rid of the penny but as a special
offer they're making marking it down to only $36 which is an absolute steal for a
product like this we've actually featured similar stuff to this that's
higher priced that I also thought was awesome so this is like Yay it's like
plus more awesome minus more dollars so be sure to check it out guys there's a
link in the video description for where you can pick up one of these to charge
all your USB stuff all at once guys thank you for watching this episode on
