what's up guys it's Lou from unbox therapy and today we're taking a look at the avermedia Game Capture HD this device is gonna capture gameplay from your favorite console it'll do the ps3 the Xbox 360 or the Nintendo Wii and it'll do so without the need to add anything that isn't in this box meaning all the cables you need to connect any of those consoles is right in here it's also got its own smart management system and the reason for that is because it's a standalone solution there is no computer necessary to operate this and the reason why that's cool is because not everybody has a computer next to where their console lives and also it's kind of ridiculous to use all the resources of your computer for something that such a simple device can handle so this one can do it one of two ways you can either hook up an external USB hard drive or USB key or you can install a two and a half inch SATA hard drive right into the unit you can imagine like up to a one terabyte hard drive you get plenty of space to store all your gameplay footage another cool thing here is that you can either use NTFS or fat32 file systems and on top of that is gonna record in h.264 codec which is incredibly easy to work with once you get to your mac or pc so anyways let's go ahead look inside the box see what we get and see how to set it up so on and so forth should be pretty self-explanatory as I mentioned before they include all the cables necessary to hook up to any of those aforementioned consoles now you guys know I mentioned earlier about possibly getting into gameplay footage possibly getting into commentary possibly getting into game reviews using a device like this and you guys had sort of mixed opinion on whether or not I should do that or if I should do that on this channel or if I should do it on the B's feed or if I should start a complete other channels so have a little vote down in the comments let me know what you vote for anyways as you can see in this little pamphlet here you can either use a USB key external drive you could hook it up to a games console blu-ray player as you can see these are the very basic instructions on how to get it up and running everything is run via component cables just like on any capture card the difference being that the the actual capturing part happens right here locally instead of just feeding the video signal out to a computer to do the capturing now you get this inner national style powered after a lot of companies are including these kinds of adapters these days really helps them ship one model across the whole world and also if you happen to move somewhere else in the world you can just get a different tip for it at least in theory imagine assuming that it's available and they're real easy to install I'm in North America obviously so I got the North American tip and you can see you just slide it down and you're ready to go you've got your power there now this is the cable that's real cool it's three consoles in one so this component cable here is gonna handle your Xbox 360 your ps3 or your Nintendo Wii and I like the fact that it's all in one cable it means you don't have to keep track of a number of different cables and you don't have to go out and buy anything after the fact I know that some of the other manufacturers require you to do so so here it is it's all in one package incredibly smart and easy to use I can't wait to get it all hooked up the next thing we've got is the actual device here you can see it looks a lot like some of the other capture devices on the market but it has obviously some different features that we'll show you in a second here it's got a matte finish on the top the front side is where you'll see your USB port as I mentioned earlier you can hook up either an external hard drive or USB key and on the back of the device is where all the action takes place all the other action you've got component in and component out obviously you want to see what you're playing while you're playing and you've got audio in and out that's important so you want to hear wait I think while you're playing and record it and you've also got DC in to power up the device now on the bottom is where this thing gets interesting this is where you could install your two and a half inch hard drive is a little pamphlet here telling you not to remove the drive while you're using it yeah I think that's pretty obvious that you shouldn't do that but you've got a regular SATA connector for a two and a half inch drive you can imagine throwing a 1 TB or even a 500 gig in here you've got plenty of space no computer necessary very cool I'm probably going to use the USB port on the front because I've got externals lying around I'll see how that goes plus it's an easy way to transport the media and then you've got a dedicated record button power button and an IR receiver that's because this baby's got a little remote with it that's another cool feature they've even included component cables from the device to your TV and audio cables from the device here to your TV so they've thought about everything I mean they really haven't missed out on anything here you do not have to go out and buy anything you've even got the batteries for your remote so this is a cool little remote with some basic functionality but also has some cool dedicated buttons you've got a dedicated snapshot button for taking a snapshot at any time record button you've got a disc info button to tell you how much more space you've got you can change the quality of recording from here everything from your couch without getting up without walking over to your PC or anything like that you've also got the user manual in case you want to do a little bit more having trouble setting it up but it is pretty straightforward I'm obviously gonna do a more inclusive video where I actually show you guys some footage of what it looks like this was the unboxing and as I said earlier if you got if you guys want to vote on where the gameplay footage should go or how I should handle it or what I should do with it or if I should even do it vote down in the comment section anyway guys if you enjoyed this content then hopefully you can like and favorite this video as it does help me out a bunch and if you haven't checked out my new channel yet it's called the beast feed
