end of the capture card. Plug the other end in to a spare SB socket located at the back of your PC.
◦ If you are using a single monitor, plug one end of an HDMI cable in to the ‘IN’ HDMI socket on the capture card,
then plug the other end to a spare HDMI socket at the back of your computer.
Note: The video capture card will most likely be recognised as a new monitor. Navigate to Windows Display

screen/centre screen.
nplug your main screen from the back of your computer and plug it in to the HDMI ‘OUT’ socket on the side of
the capture card. Next, plug the HDMI cable in to the HDMI ‘IN’ socket on the side of the capture card. You
should plug the other end of this cable in to the HDMI socket on the back of your computer where your main
screen was connected before.

recommended.
