BooTs wrote:Not to derail the thread, but why would the output from a helmet cam be copy protected?If you do have some issue with HDCP (hdmi based copy protection) then you can usually overcome that in software pretty easily. In my case I use the avermedia software to view the HDMI input and then capture that screen using Xsplit (other softwares work the same) and can record and stream from there.

I don't see why this is so hard... recording HDMI should be a fairly simple affair.

The raw stream represents nearly 400 MB/sec of data. Any way you slice it, that's not easy to deal with. It is more bandwidth than a PCIe x1 slot, a gigabit Ethernet connection, or a mechanical hard drive; doing real-time video compression at that resolution and frame rate is also difficult.
