A friend of mine got his PS4 today, and I wanted to record some footage of the system with my Elgato Game Capture HD, but it doesn't seem to want to work. I couldn't find much concrete information about the subject online, so I was wondering if anyone here has tried to capture anything or knows what the official word is on this? The best thing I could find was on the official Elgato website, saying a future update may be needed to allow capturing of game footage. Thanks in advance for any info! EDIT: Nevermind, I did a more general search and found out what I needed to know-- HDMI capture isn't available yet, but will be in a future update.
PS4 (like PS3) has HDCP turned on for HDMI. If you want to use the HDMI to capture you'll need to purchase a HDCP stripper.
There are some HDMI signal splitters 1 input / 2 output that will break HDCP. Look for a brand named Sewell. This one breaks HDCP.
