I have a quick question regarding an HDMI setup. Previously we have had the game cap hooked up via component cables and that was fine, however recently we have attempted to use a HDMI setup.
What I noticed was that the game cap works fine without being plugged into the PC via USB, but with HDMI if the device isn't plugged into a computer then you simply can't get a signal. Why is this? Does HDMI require some power? If so why can you simply not get power from something else other than a PC? The laptop we use to record isn't always next to the Xbox and without it nothing can be displayed on the TV.
Is there something I am missing or is there anything I can do?
