Hi
I have an old HD camcorder, but it still gives me excellent video (Sony HDR-XR500VE). I wanted to hook it up to my computer for some real-time green-screen experiments, but any software I use is showing low frame-rate, frame-drops, and also occasional tearing. The card I bought was "SOOMFON HDMI Camera Capture Card 4K30fps Input, USB3.0 Type C Capture 4K30fps,1080P60fps".
The camcorder is 1080i which seems to give me 50fps, and when it's plugged into the TV via HDMI, the picture quality and frame-rate is superb. However, when going through the capture card to PC, the quality is far less, and the frame-rate looks halved. I am new to this, and bought the capture device based on it's ability to capture 1080p at 60fps.
I have used OBS studio, but even Sony Vegas capture tool shows a poor framerate.
What does it take to get the same quality picture through a video capture device to USB, as I get from a direct HDMI to TV? What am I doing wrong? This is only for live use, no streaming or recording.
Thanks for any advice.
Oh, I have an Intel i7 and Radeon RX 580.
