Laptop/PC as capture device?

[Baterka]

Can I somehow use another PC/Laptop as capture device? (Like avermedia)

 

USB-C is maybe capable to do video inputs?

USB-C on a monitor can input video, but not on a desktop/laptop, where it's only output (and not every USB-C outputs video).

You'll need a capture card, like this one (link), from Elgato.

You have some on Aliexpress (link), at around 60$.

But I personally wouldn't trust these capture devices.

You need something with an HDMI in (or DP, or whatever you use). Which the Pi does not have.

Either get a capture card or do it with the main machine you are gaming on. Remember most videocards have the ability to encode on the fly with minimal performance drops. (Depends ofc on the quality you want).

 

The cheapest option will be something like an Avermedia Live Gamer (30fps 1080p). But even that is 90 Euro's
