I wanted something that was simple to use, didn't require access to a computer and something that was compact so that I could easily take it between my consoles and on the go to various events. Enter the Haugppauge PVR Rocket 1540, which seems to do everything I needed. But did it measure up to exceptions? Keep on reading to find out.
Today on Gaming with Killatia we take a look at the popular gaming capture device from Hauppauge, The HD-PVR Rocket!
The Hauppage HDPVR Rocket promises to bring the full quality of game capture along with an easily transportable device. With additional controls for sound and software to allow livestreaming, is the Rocket the best Hauppage has to offer?
T1 - Hauppauge Digital announced today support for PlayStation 4 with the latest firmware update from Sony.
Technically, PS4 now compatible with Hauppauge Game Recorders. Hauppauge didn't do anything, Sony did.
Lol, but true. not only Hauppauge but others too... Elgato, Avermedia, Blackmagic....
This was the case when the update kicked in rrmoving HDCP protection. So why is this news now?
I tested my HD PVR Rocket at the time. Works a charm with the PS4.
Forgive a (video capture) noob if this question seems dumb, but...why is a dedicated capture device needed?
Now that Share Factory is available with editing, commentary and music support. I understand you can even place raw footage on your PC and use any (theoretically) editor.
Then isn't it just a case of saving your work to a USB (or direct from PC), and then uploading to Youtube, or am I missing something here?
Higher quality recording, and editing options isn't limited to one application. Not to mention that some people like using their own equipment for recording and streaming.
But isn't Share Factory 720P/30fps, and is that not the limit on Youtube?
It would make any higher quality (1080P/60fps) capture redundant on Youtube...right?
Ok I agree people like to use their own equipment to stream/capture, but my question was...now that we have Share Factory...is a external capture device needed?
Newegg is the cheapest for a new one at $125 but 1080p60fps is becoming the norm so you might as well spend another $45 for the Elgato HD60 just make sure your video editing software can render it. I use Sony Movie Studio 13, got it for $30 but its usually selling for around $50. Extra $75-$100 is worth it for smoother videos.
Agreed, I picked this up on a whim cause I wanted to see how easy it was to use and for the most part it is a decent device. That said I also picked up an Elgato which I'm going to review and likely use as my goto device. If the PVR Rocket only did 1080p @ 60 fps, then it would be best out there. The ease of use is fantastic and you don't even need a laptop/computer to use.
