There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I was disheartened initially because the video and powerpoint was coming in aliased (jaggy edges) and very dark. I was engaged with epiphan support for a while and then got busy and didn't get around to figuring out what was up. I ended up troubleshooting it and responded with an email to epiphan. It is as follows:
"Hi there -
I would like to circle back with you on this issue so that you could inform others who might have the same issues I did. As a matter of fact I suggest you pass this onto the entire team so that this info somehow makes it onto your webpage/literature.
So, this isn't really an issue with your hardware as much as it's a configuration issue on the source computer and the capture software. However, it would be quite easy for one to think so due to the seeming "plug and play" nature of the device.
Bottom line is this:
1) from within wirecast one needs to go to sources/source settings/AV.io HDMI Video Video/ and make sure the FPS is set to 30 or 60. This will correct the frame stutter. For some reason Wirecast was defaulting to 15 fps. Note: this was not an issue from within VLC...only Wirecast.
2) The source computer, a macbook pro 17-inch, Mid 2010, needed to be color calibrated for the AV.io. It was coming in SUPER dark...as in so dark it was mostly un-usable for many parts of the material. Once you start up the color calibration tool from the display settings on the mac it almost immediately becomes brighter to where I had to do very little actual tweaking.
3) Finally, there is the mirroring, vs extended desktop. Which is better? I know that in the past I was getting really bad aliasing (jaggy edges). I'm not sure 100% this is what fixed it but what I ended up with a smooth image was setting the AV.io config utility to 'use signal input resolution' and 'performance mode'. I also decided to mirror the display and for whatever reason the LCD says 1920x1200 and the AV.io as 1920x1080. I assume this is correct because it works and works well.
Anyhow, that's pretty much it. I hope this can help someone else in the future."
So, this is a solid device and perhaps with your particular configuration you won't have the same issues I did.
The capture quality is excellent and I'm very pleased with the simplicity. Unlike some other similar devices I've seen, you do not even need to know what format you source video is in. Whatever your capture software opens the device as in terms of capture format, the hardware will scale it appropriately and does a very good job of doing so. So if your input video is in 1080p and you want to capture 720p, you do not need to do any configuration of the device or do any transcoding after capture. Very nice!
Only drawbacks I noticed: Even though the device appears to be brand new, there was a newer firmware available that I installed. Only took a couple minutes to rectify, simply due to you need to go to their website and download it. No software included in the box at all. Also, would love for them to provide a utility which can report the format of the incoming video as I've seen with some other vendors. Would be a very nice to have feature.
My setup is a 5K iMac (4Ghz, 16GB of RAM, Core i7) with a Sony FDR-AX100 (4K Camcorder) and a Blue Yeti microphone.
What happens is, since the audio (coming from the Blue Yeti) is directly connected to the USB port of the Mac and the camcorder is going through the AV.io HD which takes some time to process the video things go out of sync. By the time Quick Time or Camtasia 3 gets the audio and video feed, they are noticeably out of sync (by about 15 frames).
So yes, it works, but I have to do quite a bit of post-processing afterwards...time consuming.
