I have found screen captures to be essential to the articles that I write, whether I'm describing something complicated or explaining how to do an activity, they allow readers to more easily follow ...

Here’s a simple tip from [Andy], whose Raspberry Pi projects often travel with him outside the workshop: he suggests adding a small HDMI-to-USB video capture device to one’s Raspberry Pi utility belt.

In a previous article, I discussed how I used an inexpensive ($25) video capture card to capture HDMI output from a physical system (an Intel NUC) and stream it via USB to another system (my laptop).

Over the last ten years, I have owned a lot of video capture cards for my various webcast systems. I have built many mobile webcast workstations in computer cases and most recently in road-rack cases.

Beyond simply recording what's on your screen, these HDMI devices can be used capture content from cable boxes and share a live stream of your gaming.
