So it depends on exactly how far the signal needs to travel…

I’ll let you know if I find a good capture card.

Thanks again,
Matt

I understand that ethernet is better for long distances.

Not sure about HD vid capture cards. Let us know if you find one you find works well.

Really interesting post. I’ve worked at a couple of UX consultancies and they both had very different setups for recording sessions (outside of Morae/Silverback).

For example, one of them uses a wide angle lens to capture workshop sessions on a single camera.

However, neither of them have the capability to record in HD and it is something I have been investigating.

One thing I would disagree with is that HDMI cables are expensive. You can pick up a 10m cable for about £5 now. On the other hand, I suppose you could say they are expensive relative to CAT5 cable.

I don’t suppose you can recommend any Mac compatible HD Video Capture Cards?

Thanks,
Matt

Haven’t tried it myself. Perhaps worth reviewing?
