Thanks for creating that. I use OBS so this sounds perfect.

Could you recommend a Blackmagic product supported by your plugin that can capture from HDMI (cheaper the better, I plan to use it for hobbist-level capture of desktop/games)?



I'm not who you responded to, but the DeckLink Mini Recorder (towards the bottom of https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/decklink/models) is a very capable PCI-e HDMI and SDI capture card for around £100/$140.

Apart from possibly needing an update to the kernel package, all of the DeckLink devices are supported by the same SDK, with only some small variations (like giving the user the choice of selecting which input connector to use or similar).


Awesome!

I used the Intensity Shuttle for USB 3.0 on a Macbook (OS X) to develop the plugin. It costs $190 and works pretty well, but can't capture 1080p @ 60fps (only 720p/1080i). I only got it because I couldn't install a PCI-e card on my laptop ;)

If you need 1080p @ 60fps, the Intensity Pro 4K is also $190 and is a PCI-e card. Otherwise, the Mini Recorder should work just fine.
