Hello everyone,

At the moment I use FRAPS to record and then import into PD11 Ultra for the purposes of basic You Tube videos...

I was looking to update to PD14 Ultra when I see it has screen capture...oh happy days...lol....BUT can it capture a resolution of 5760x1080...Triple Monitor gaming set up (see attached photo of my racing rig...I hope it loaded).

Thanks in advance.

regards

G'day Mark from across the ditch -

Now that's a RIG!!!

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for CL's (free) Screen Recorder to be able to capture 3 monitors at that resolution. I can't even get Camtasia Studio ($$$) to record from my single 4K (UHD) monitor. I have to switch the screen resolution to 1920x1080 to do a screen capture.

I think you'd probably need a dedicated screen recorder (i.e. hardware). I believe optodata recently purchased such a beast. Perhaps he could advise you further.

Cheers - Tony

Thanks for taking the time to answer...That is disappointing as I was looking forward to upgrading to PD14 from PD11...BUT at the moment I use FRAPS to record and that works ok

Like Tony said, WOW!

I had to stare at the picture for a few seconds for everything to register, and I've got to tell you I've never seen anything like that. Mighty impressive

I ended up buying this hardware HDMI *recorder* from Amazon (this link is to the US site). Obviously you'd need 3 of them but you'd get full performance from your games rather than using precious CPU cycles to also record the action.

I bought my device to capture a single HD screen when doing video edits that took every last bit of power to run in real-time, and when PD14's screen recorder was running I couldn't get the smooth response I was trying to document. In your case, I'm certain that having hardware encoders would give you a noticeable improvement in frame rate.

One downside is that this device will only record at 30fps, but there are more expensive ones that can record at higher rates. Another possible issue is that you'll need to sync the 3 clips whenever you want to play them back or produce them, and if there's no monitor audio you'd need to do that manually. You'd also lose FRAPS' on screen fps meter, but that's also the case if you used PD14's screen recorder.
