Widescreen Gaming Forum

I am a little confused, but I am assuming that "home cable" was a typo for "HDMI cable" and am proceeding accordingly.

You monitors don't all need to be HDMI. If your Surround setup has worked up until this point (and based on your pictures in your first post it appears you have it set up correctly) it will continue to work with your game consoles as is. I would not go disconnecting any of the video cables you are already using for your monitors if they are already hooked up and working.

If you are using 4 monitors then they would already be connected to your PC like this:
2 of them connect to your Titan using DVI
1 of them connect to your Titan using Displayport
1 of them connect to your Titan using HDMI

If you don't have some laying around you will need some additional HDMI cables....one if you are just using a capture card, 2 if you are also using a splitter.

Connect you Xbox to the splitter input via HDMI. Connect the splitter output to the Avermedia input via HDMI. Connect the Avermedia UC3 to your PC via USB 3.0. There is no video cable that connects the Avermedia to your PC or to your graphics card, everything is routed over the USB 3.0 connection.

The video signal then goes from Xbox --> splitter --> capture device --> PC --> monitors over all connections

If you don't have a splitter then connect the Xbox directly to the Avermedia input directly via HDMI.

You will have to configure the Avermedia RECentral program with the proper settings. I'm not going to go into all of the settings (this post would be pages long) so use the setup wizard in the software and refer to the manual for your capture card.

When you have it configured correctly and you start the RECentral program you can take the video preview window and maximize it. In portrait mode like you have your monitors setup the window will span across your monitors and you can now play Xbox across 3 screens.

I owe you a beer I am going to and buy that model ASAP. Have you used it yourself personally or do you know a model that may be better? Splitter wise, in that youtube video he recommended a powered splitter... Is this needed or would anything work?

Really appreciate all of your help. Will place the order this weekend on your response, I never did a youtube video but I may do a walk thru for other people who are interested in this if I can get it working. You made things sound so easy

No worries glad I could help.

My setup is a little different but the theory is the same. I use the Live Gamer HD which is for all intents and purposes the internal PCIe version of the card you are looking at. The software is the same for both devices. I also don't have my monitors in portrait but that doesn't matter to the software...we're just using different aspect ratios.

You will want a specific type of powered splitter that does HDCP stripping. When I get home tonight I'll get you a link to the specific one I recommend. It costs around $25 for the 2 port and $40 for the 4 port.

As promised, here is the HDMI splitter that I use. It comes in 3 flavors: 1 input into 2, 4, or 8 outputs. I personally use the 4 port splitter but any of them should work.

There are possibly (probably) cheaper ones out there, but this is the only one where I can personally vouch for it's HDCP stripping capabilities.
