The gaming market has surpassed the movie market in sales for the last few years.
This trend seems to be continuing as games become more innovative and interactive to play.
The ultimate gaming thrill would be full emersion into the game like we see in the Holodeck
in the the Star Trek movies and TV series.

For the gaming fans there is nothing better than getting an awesome gaming kill streak, best Frag or best lap
time on a console. Boasting about it to friends can end up sounding like a tall fishing story.
So to back up your gaming boasts it would be great if you could have the original gaming foootage to edit and upload onto social media sites.
The problem was that very few games allow you to record in-game footage and then take it off the console and transfer it onto your computer.

The Hauppauge Colossus PCIE card can capture live footage from the WII, PS3 and the Xbox 360 directly to you computer HDD.
The Colossus can record high definition video using H.264 video encoding,
and at data rates from 1Mbs to 20Mbs through the HDMI or component video inputs.
This allows you to make professional looking movies or clips of your gaming action.

To install simple plug your console into the component or HDMI input on the card
and run the software and you should see the console footage onto your computer to play or record.
  
The Colossus card can also record your favourite TV programs from HD cable TV and satellite set top boxes.

Before purchasing the colossus card check the minimum specs required to run the card.
The card will need to be installed on your motherboard so care should be taken upon installation,
also you can only record video at up to 1080i resolution.
Other than these points this card will do a fantastic job at capturing your gaming highlights and will enable
you to produce a top notch professional video.
