ZTGD | Hauppauge HD PVR: Gaming Edition Review

Ken McKown writes: When we decided that video content was a must have for the site, we researched a lot of products before making the final decision. One thing that was certain, the Happauge HD PVR – Gaming Edition was also coming up when attempting to find the proper device to capture game footage at a decent resolution. Now, after several hours of video editing and massive hard drive space consumed with files, we couldn’t be happier with what this little device offers up. For the price, it delivers the perfect solution for sites like ours that want to deliver great looking video content from your high-definition gaming consoles.

Looks like this guy have never seen a Hauppauge HD PVR 1212 before. The gaming edition is nothing different from the original.

This is a review of the item. We have to approach it fresh.

Soplox4586d ago

You didn't compare it with the original, didn't give the specs and didn't give encoder details. You just talked of how pretty it looks. And you call a review of a Capture Card?

ZeroTolerance4586d ago

That is because I hadn't seen the original. I stated in the review this was the first I had used, and we got it because of its quality. Sure it is the same device with a packed-in cable, but this is the only one I have ever used to comparing it is certainly not something I was able to do.

PaladinXII4586d ago

We're certainly glad to add the official product details to the page.

Our review approach for this device comes from what our readers want to know:

Does the device work as advertised?
Is it easy to use?
What is the quality of the video that the device produces?
What comes in the box?

We aren't CNet and don't review a product like this the same way they would. As I said, though, adding the official product specs to the page with the review is not a problem.

Soplox4586d ago

Yeah but when you have a new version of a product that A LOT of people are using you have to compare it with the original. Why? cuz this are the questions people really want to know.

What are the differences between this and the original?
Should I buy this or the original?
It is worth upgrade?

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
