The Hauppauge HD PVR Gaming Edition records video in HD from a video game console. The software
which comes with HD PVR only runs on Windows PCs, but there are third party software applications which
run on the Mac or Linux. Please see our website for information on these third party applications.
HD PVR recordings are made onto a computer’s hard drive in a compressed H.264 format. HD PVR uses
Component Video (also called YPrPb), S-Video or composite video, and will record at resolutions from stan-
dard definition (480i) up to high definition (1080i), at datarates from 1Mbit/sec up to 13Mbits/sec.
ote: if you are connecting HD PVR to an Xbox360, PS3 or other game console, make sure
the Component Video output of the game console is set to 1080i or 720p.
For more information, please see the Hauppauge HD PVR support page:
http://www.hauppauge.com/site/support/support_hdpvr.html
Audio can be supplied to the HD PVR from stereo audio or via optical SPDIF. The optical audio input to the
HD PVR can be in either a 2 channel stereo audio format or a 2 or 5.1 channel AC-3 format.
The recording format used by HD PVR is H.264 with AC-3 audio. HD PVR recordings can be played back to
the PC screen or can be converted “on the fly” to a Blu-ray format AVCHD file for making Blu-ray discs.
There are three types of HD PVR record formats which can be selected:
Hauppauge Hd Pvr 2 Gaming Edition Plus Drivers
TS: the native H.264 format with 2 or 5.1 channel audio. You create this format when you click AVCHD
M2TS: this is an H.264 format which can be played on a Sony Playstation3. You create this format
when you click on Playstation3 in ArcSoft Capture.
MP4: this is an H.264 format which can be played on an XBox360. You create this format when you
HD PVR comes bundled with ArcSoft’s ShowBiz. ShowBiz is used to record videos, upload your video
recordings to YouTube, play back the recorded videos to your PC screen, plus can burn your video record-
ings for playback on a Blu-ray player using conventional DVD discs.
Step 1: Set your game console to 1080i or 720p
With the Xbox 360 or the Playstation 3, you need to set the Display Settings to Component Video and either
- turn the power off on your game console
- disconnect the HDMI cable from your game console to your TV set.
- connect the Hauppauge Component Video Gaming cable from your game console to your TV set.
- on your TV set, set the Source to Component Video. There should be a Source button on your TV set
remote control which is used to select the TV source.
Xbox 360:
Turn on your Xbox. You should see the Xbox video on your TV set. If you do not, check your TV set to make
sure it is set to the Component Video source connected to your Xbox.
Once you can see Xbox video on your TV set, go to System Settings / Console Settings / Display /
HDTV Settings and choose either 720p or 1080i. Then click “Yes, keep these settings”.
Push and hold the Power button on the front of your PS3. If you have a Power switch on the back or your
PS3, turn it off, wait two seconds and then turn it on. Then let the Power button on the front of your PS3 go.
You should see the PS3 video on your TV set. If you do not, check your TV set to make sure it is set to the
Once you can see PS3 video on your TV set, go to Settings / Display Settings / Video Output Settings
and choose either 720p or 1080i. Then click “Yes, keep these settings”.
USB connection
Plug one end (the square end) of the supplied USB cable into the HD PVR’s USB cable connector. HD PVR
is compatible with USB 2.0 (high speed) only. Plug the other end into your Windows PC. HD PVR works with
laptops or desktop PCs with Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7. For use with a Mac, you will need
software not supplied by Hauppauge. Go to http://www.hdpvrcapture.com for more information.
From your game console, there are three different ways to connect video to the HD PVR. Component Video is
the highest quality and is the only video mode which can be used with No Delay Pass Through, but any one
a.)Component Video: use the supplied
Component Video gaming cablefrom your game console to the
Component video inputs on the rear of the HD PVR (see diagram below).
ote: if you have an HDMI cable connected between your game console and your TV set, -
disconnect it. Instead, use the Pass Through video connection (see No Delay Video Pass
b.)S-Video: connect the game console S-Video output to the S-Video input on the front of the HD PVR.

To watch live video from your game console on a TV set without any delay, connect the Component Video
output from the HD PVR to the Component Video input on your TV set.
The first time No Delay Video Pass Through is used, you need to go into Arcosft Showbiz (see step 4
below) and in the Arcsoft Capture Module, under Source select YPrPb. This will enable No Delay Pass

audio in (rear), RCA audio in (rear) or RCA audio in (front). Optical audio is connected on the rear panel.

Hauppauge HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition Plus
SetupOnce you've fully unpacked the HD PVR2 Gaming Edition the next step is set-up, and Hauppauge have performed due diligence by providing very good installations instructions on the provided user guide pamphlet. The latest HD PVR2 designs have also moved to an HDMI input/output system for video with the option for compact component, eliminating much of the cable clutter and opportunity to make a mistake with component inputs.

When setting up your largest concern will be one of cable length. The HD PVR2 unit needs to be connected to the TV via HDMI, console or PC via HDMI or component, and PC via USB. Although the cables you're provided with are long - a 6ft HDMI cable and 9ft USB A-B cable are extremely generous - you may well need to rearrange your gaming setup to accommodate the requirements. Thankfully the unit doesn't need to be connected to a PC in order to act as a passthrough, so if your system is lightweight enough you can just hook it up when necessary, but it's something you should consider before buying.
Once the cabling is set up and unit is powered on you'll be presented with a blinking yellow LED in the zone of the light-bar nearest the Hauppauge logo. This indicates that you need to install the PC sofware from the CD provided, although we would suggest downloading the latest updates to Hauppauge Capture from the official site first. At the time of review we were furnished with revision 31164, but the recently released version 31183 will add more features were we not able to take advantage of. The installation process will place the unit in a default state for settings designed to be optimal for most setups, but sometimes things can fall through the cracks.
The process was straightforward, even if the installer is a little crude by modern standards. Remember that many of the locations you will be specifying in the process will be default locations for captured video storage, so ensure that you point the app to the correct place. Thankfully both Hauppauge Capture and ArcSoft ShowBiz allow you to change these directories after the fact, although it's a little more complex in the latter.
When installed the indicator LED should change to a solid blue. A simple sanity check then needs to occur to make sure that passthrough is operating by powering up the console and TV. On initial testing we failed to get audio passthrough, and found that troubleshooting this problem was difficult even with the power of Google; no feedback to the user was provided that an issue had occurred, and no hover-over hints are present anywhere through the UI. It turns out that the unit was trying to pass 5.1 AC3 audio which checking the Disable HDMI AC3 Support option in Advanced Setting -> Audio Properties solved, but from then on we were concerned about an overall lack of troubleshooting support. Thankfully, for those with this issue new software updates automatically check this option, which you will want to turn off if your TV supports 5.1 audio.
Even if your TV/Monitor panel isn't responding at all you should still be able to view the console output on your PC through the Capture software. This would allow you to change any display settings on your console if necessary, just in case your TV doesn't recognise the current mode.
The final piece of housekeeping is setting up your watermarks for captured video. Hauppauge Personal Logo Inserter, the standalone program previously needed for this, has now been integrated into the main Hauppauge Capture application along with StreamEez. This utility allows you to select an image of any reasonable size and overlay it on the video frame in any position. Opacity is also adjustable, allowing you to obscure the footage as little as possible. This logo is then overlayed on both captured and streaming video, but we should note that video which has been scaled did not have the overlay scaled to the same degree, resulting in a larger watermark as the video is downscaled. It seems likely that this will also be fixed in an upcoming application release.
Once set-up you're ready to get started.
