In general, with the correct cable, Devices that offer DVI or Displayport (or the mini variants) can be connected simply by getting the right adapter cable from your favourite electronics store. The general advice would be that for any videos that are going to be compressed anyway for use on Citrix TV, YouTube or viewing over the internet, a compressed capture device like the Hauppauge is probably good enough.Ĭapturing from HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort and HDCP:Ĭonsumer video capture platforms are designed to work first and foremost with HDMI connections (High Definition Media Interconnect). However with the datarate that lossless video generates, USB3.0 or Thunderbolt is required to connect to a fast (core i7) capture PC/MAC which will also require a fast and large enough disk system to store the vast volume of data that is generated during capture.

This device, being designed for video production performs lossless capture. The device has a hardware H264 encoder on it, so the captured video will be compressed, however this also means that any reasonable spec PC/MAC will be able to act as a capture platform.Īn example Video edit device, that has been used by the UK HDX team in capturing demo videos is the “ Black Magic Intensity Shuttle.”

This device requires a USB2 connection to a PC will actually store the recorded video. Those mentioned just happen to be those available in one of our HDX test labs.Īs mentioned, there are two main trends in consumer video capture hardware – home video editing/production and “gameplay” capture.Īn example Gameplay capture device, as used by the UK HDX team in capturing demo videos is the “ Hauppage HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition Plus.” In general these devices tend to be in the $150 to $200 price bracket and are readily available through on-line electronics retailers. Similarly, you can now perform capture from any device (thin client, tablet, laptop or desktop pc) so long as the device presents a video output compatible with your capture hardware.ĭisclaimer: There are plenty of equivalent devices on the market and these are not an official endorsement by Citrix, rather these are a couple of examples that we’ve had some experience with. When you instead use a dedicated hardware capture solution the endpoint displaying the session is not in any way encumbered or affected. If you really want to record the true performance of the graphics delivered though you should consider hardware capture. Those types of solutions are great for how-to-videos and recorded set-up guides. In non-performance critical situations these can indeed be viable options and should not be discounted.

Historically we may have used software solutions for this, such as “ FRAPS”, “ SnagIt” or “ Camtasia”. Recent trends in computer entertainment – especially in the areas of home digital video production, and recording of console gameplay, have provided some low cost and high quality options for capturing demo videos of HDX sessions.

I’m increasingly being asked how to record great demos, one of our senior graphical experts in the UK HDX team, Andrew Woodard, kindly agreed to write this blog about his experiences doing this for performance analysis and demo.

We’ve seen a phenomenal interest in HDX 3D Pro for delivering rich graphics and CAD applications on XenApp and XenDesktop and uptake of technologies such as NVIDIA GRID vGPU.
