Will this card capture HD shows from my cable box HDMI output... in HD Quality?

Yes, however you will need an HDCP stripper device ViewHD 2 Port 1x2 Powered HDMI Mini Splitter for 1080P & 3D | VHD-1X2MN3DThis will work perfectly

Yes, This is assuming there isn't any HDCP on the cable box, it handles the following resolutions@Refresh/FPS -1080p @ 23.98 -1080p @ 24 -1080p @ 25 -1080p @ 29.97 (Normal) -1080p @ 30 (Not as common) -1080i @ 50 -1080i @ 59.97 (Commonly used by 60Hz) -1080i @ 60 (uncommon) -720p @ 50 -720p @ 59.94 (Common) -720p @ 60 This is along with -NTSC / NTSC 23.98 & NTSC Progressive (Older Composites) -PAL / PAL Progressive (older) It is able to upscale & Anamorphic SD to HD as well. To also answer your question, it's output can be upscaled from 720p to 1080i, and Input can be upscaled SD (Anamorphic/Letterbox) to 1080i & Downscaled 720p & 1080i to SD (Anamorphic/Letterbox) 16:9. Side Note, you will need the included SW (Blackmagic Media Express) or another SW(Like Open Broadcaster) that is able to receive the input signal to activate the pass through, actively running. -Meaning The SW will have to be running, and viewing the stream to allow the 'Preview' TV/Monitor to show the display. Please Contact Me if you would like to know more about setting it up, as there is no smart switching enabled & can be finicky. Though it is Well worth it entirely. Be sure to know that there is a minimal MB performance requirement. X58 MB confirmed (Running on a Sabertooth X58 MB w/ i7-960)

I have it connected to my cable box but am not sure if that's HDMI for sure.

If you use Cable as Part of Internet service then they provide Device which has HDMI Output. IMO, Local Cable TV Operators provide Coax cable(old round tv cables) only. In that case, this device won't help. Better check with Friends, Colleagues who live there.

Yes, but the device doesn't do any scaling. So your HDMI device must be pushing a 1080i signal.

Are you hoked up to cable? Sometimes the settings on the cable box itself can mess with the TV output also. Not sure if that's the problem but it's definitely worth checking out. the only time I've had that kind of problem was when connecting the PC to the TV via HDMI.. but that was the graphics card settings, not the Panny.

It should work with all hdmi sources but after 2 weeks my HD cable box demanded to be disconnected from it. PC data may cause the same issue.

I think so. The receiver will decode the audio from your cable box via HDMI. The one part I am not sure about is if this receiver will let you pass the HD signal through component video cables to your projection. However, that may not be an issue if you cable box has the component video out which I suspect you are using, you would just the cable from your Cable box to your TV.

Try the Pioneer website and look through the manual to see if it is possible. Cable box --&gt; HDMI --&gt; Receiver --&gt; component video --&gt; TV

It will record everything you want, even HBO or Premiums channel. Just don't record through Hdmi. Only record through Ygrb components. They are the same clear as 1080i.

So I have run into this before but I am not an expert. Some monitors will only accept 1080P or 720P. My source was 420P something like that so one of the monitors called it out of range. I was using a image one surgical camera that only had SDI output that once converted was 420 or 480P output and that didn't work with one of my Monitors. The TV monitor probably accepts a larger range of HDMI input. Scott

I am running 7 50" Plasma HDMI TVs off of two of these cards. I distribute the video using HDMI adapters over Cat6. Works well.

It gives the same resolution on output as it gets on input. I used it for Comcast HD boxes, and all TVs have 16/9 HD picture. They only thing I don't like is that, when you change input of one output, all outputs go black for a few seconds.

Yes that is how it is being used by me now.We are using this converting full motion 1080 HD/SDI video to HDMI for use by our streaming computer with VidBlaster program installed. I am also using the Blackmagic Capture card with absolutely no problems with configuring or using; use Blackmagic if you want with out fear.

Hi to all of you , I dont mean to but in,but 1080i is superior,the only one higer is 1080p in which cable boxes do not have yet. I have my cable box set to 720p,and when a 1080i program comes on it automatically switches to 1080i on my cable box. there are tons of programs in 1080i , american idol,and most of your prime time shows are in 1080i. 720 p is a step below,but still considered hd quality,true hd is 1080i,and 1080p. If you set your box any lower than 720 ,your picture will not be good,and it will not upconvert on your cable box when a true hd program comes on. set your box to 720p,and above. sorry for the repetition,and good luck to all

So then, if I connect the cable using the compnent video cables, it should up convert the regular cable channels, correct?Is that a better trade off than using the HDMI as the connection between the cable box and the receiver?

Hi , I am using these cards to record Broadcast ready HD . It is also capable of recording 4K . It shouldn't be a problem and its definitely worth the money .

You can. The highest broadcast in HD you will be able to view is 720P or 1080i. The only issue is that you will not have audio when using this cable, but you can always run it through a stereo. That's what I used this cable for.
