so I’m discovering my HDMI capture cards are actually pretty picky about the input it gets. If I send it anything that isn’t, like, 1080p or 720p, it just decides it can’t process it and pretends there’s no signal. Also to add insult to injury, it does some weird overscan for some reason, so I have to further mangle the display output so I actually get the full picture from the capture card.
So I probably shouldn’t use that in the long term if I want to combine it with the scaler I just got for recording my old computers…
