I would like to create relatively professional in-game videos using a HDMI grabber / capture card with loop-out. Maybe someone of you has a tip for me which one to buy.
The perfect grabber would look like this: 720p is sufficient resolution, but everything in terms of loop-out output / input lag has been optimized and perfected. A USB stick or powered external hard disk (I have one) is used as the recording medium. The recording is started and ended directly on the grabber by pressing a button. At the end there is a new file on the USB stick / hard drive, which I simply plug into my PC and then just copy and edit.
Since TheC64 Maxi generates minimal input lags which are not noticeable, due to the emulator, I absolutely need a grabber that only adds a minimal additional input lag if possible so that everything remains playable.
All grabbers I've seen so far only support a 60Hz or 30Hz frame rate. Of course, 50Hz would be optimal, but as an emergency solution I could add the filename flag _TP to the file (if there is no NTSC file for the game) and set my TheC64 Maxi to NTSC. My screen supports both (max. 1080p with 50 or 60Hz).
It doesn't necessarily has to have a USB 3.0 interface, as my PC only has USB 2.0 ports.
The most important thing would be that it has perfect values in terms of loop-out lag and that the PC does not act as an USB recording device, but simply an USB stick or external USB hard drive. A separate audio recording is not required.
If someone has a recommendation for me, I would be very grateful.
