Will there be latency if I am only using this to play PS3 with my laptop as the screen, without recording any video? Is any cord included or is this solely the easycap device (like cord for PS3)?

You will need a ps3 AV cord and yes it is possible to play without recording I use mine mostly as a tv if you will just something I can Cary with me and play a game but ... The quality is not the greatest it works but it's not HD

Not sure if the lag is due to the device or due to the non HDMI technology of my PS2 versus my HD TV. I did experience a lag using this device, but the game I was playing allowed for calibration, which although annoying, I could still play.

I use it with Logic Pro X and barely notice re latency. It's probably around 10 milliseconds or so with my setup.

I had the same question. Glad to hear that there is no video lag. On the same note, I have a similar question: I would like to connect my Nintendo Wii through this receiver as well. Will this model take analog component and pipe it out over HDMI? The setup I currently have does not have component-in, so I will be using this as a hub for the time being. I realize there may be some input-lag due to conversion, I just want to confirm that this device would accept analog component input and then be able to push it out over HDMI. Any info would be appreciated!

The video latency is not particularly noticeable. I was able to play an online FPS competitively with no noticeable lag. Quicktime X player provides a full screen solution. Invariably, after some random amount of time, it'll crash and require a reboot. Quicktime 7 Pro hasn't yet crashed, but it doesn't allow full screen mode during video capture/playback.

Nope. There is a substantial delay. If I'm recording a game or anything else you're seeing at least 1 second delay, if not more. If you're recording game you need to use an HDMI splitter to be able play in real time on a normal flat screen TV and capture the output at the same time. Of course the device can only capture component video. However like many users of this capture device, I use an HDMI to component converter device.

I do not notice any latency now. When I first installed the keyboard and mouse there was too much distance to the usb transceiver. In that case there was latency and sometimes just no response at all. Once I moved them closer together, it has worked fine ever since. It seems to work fine with 2 to 2.5 feet separation but more than that is a problem. Also, the transceiver was kind of buried in the computer case and somewhat shielded by the case.

Actually you can probably do it with the 3 prong non-hd cord as well because there is the three ports in the front of the Capture card. I've never used it that way though and I dont think it would be very good quality.

Very little latency. I have not personally used it serious live capture, but have tested. I didn't notice any latency. Streaming magazine suggested a couple of these Black Magic Design UltraStudio combined with a newer, three Thunderbolt buss MacBookPros and Telestreams Wirecast as a portable live streaming system in their April edition.

I don't know if this could be used for games. I also have not noticed any delay. We are using it for remote connections to a projector. We simply ran a single HDMI cable from this device to the projector. This device allows many different sources to be connected to the projector, without running multiple types of cables up to the ceiling mounted projector.

I have never got any latency. I use the Fast Track Pro with Mixcraft 5.Just make sure your hardware is good enough (proccessor and RAM).

I perceive NO DELAY at all. The video transmission is very fast with no noticeable latency. When I attach a video camera to the RF transmitter, and a video monitor to the RF receiver, I do NOT notice any lag between the image on the video monitor and what the video camera sees. I have to say that for their low price, this RF transmitter / receiver pair provides top-notch performance and superb value.

LG doesn't release the official input latency for their projectors, but I have been gaming on mine and it's fantastic. I'm very sensitive to imput lag and I can say this projector works great when putting it into game mode.

I have both. It is more simple to set up on PS3, but if you don't have a separate amp/surround system you will end up with lag time, even through an HDMI. So you need an external system! On that note, sound bars don't have head phone jacks, so if you want to keep the rest of the house from hearing you they wont work.Also, if you buy extra songs they don't convert from one system to the other. Although I prefer the ps3, a newer laptop pc is much more versatile.

I never used it for any videogame's I only used it for going back and forth between cable box and DVD Recorder it always took a couple of seconds between the unites but always worked. Hope this helped

i have not tried the "Game Mode" but latency / lag didn't seem bad when I used HDMI cable from my laptop. Of course the HDMI limitation slows it down a lot but I will test it more when HDMI 2.0 update is released.

Absolutely none at all. It's the best thing I've bought for the ps2. And the audio has no lag either
