Setup

Once you've fully unpacked the HD PVR2 Gaming Edition the next step is set-up, and Hauppauge have performed due diligence by providing very good installations instructions on the provided user guide pamphlet. The latest HD PVR2 designs have also moved to an HDMI input/output system for video with the option for compact component, eliminating much of the cable clutter and opportunity to make a mistake with component inputs.
Test System

When setting up your largest concern will be one of cable length. The HD PVR2 unit needs to be connected to the TV via HDMI, console or PC via HDMI or component, and PC via USB. Although the cables you're provided with are long - a 6ft HDMI cable and 9ft USB A-B cable are extremely generous - you may well need to rearrange your gaming setup to accommodate the requirements. Thankfully the unit doesn't need to be connected to a PC in order to act as a passthrough, so if your system is lightweight enough you can just hook it up when necessary, but it's something you should consider before buying.
Once the cabling is set up and unit is powered on you'll be presented with a blinking yellow LED in the zone of the light-bar nearest the Hauppauge logo. This indicates that you need to install the PC sofware from the CD provided, although we would suggest downloading the latest updates to Hauppauge Capture from the official site first. At the time of review we were furnished with revision 31164, but the recently released version 31183 will add more features were we not able to take advantage of. The installation process will place the unit in a default state for settings designed to be optimal for most setups, but sometimes things can fall through the cracks.
The process was straightforward, even if the installer is a little crude by modern standards. Remember that many of the locations you will be specifying in the process will be default locations for captured video storage, so ensure that you point the app to the correct place. Thankfully both Hauppauge Capture and ArcSoft ShowBiz allow you to change these directories after the fact, although it's a little more complex in the latter.

When installed the indicator LED should change to a solid blue. A simple sanity check then needs to occur to make sure that passthrough is operating by powering up the console and TV. On initial testing we failed to get audio passthrough, and found that troubleshooting this problem was difficult even with the power of Google; no feedback to the user was provided that an issue had occurred, and no hover-over hints are present anywhere through the UI. It turns out that the unit was trying to pass 5.1 AC3 audio which checking the Disable HDMI AC3 Support option in Advanced Setting -> Audio Properties solved, but from then on we were concerned about an overall lack of troubleshooting support. Thankfully, for those with this issue new software updates automatically check this option, which you will want to turn off if your TV supports 5.1 audio.
Even if your TV/Monitor panel isn't responding at all you should still be able to view the console output on your PC through the Capture software. This would allow you to change any display settings on your console if necessary, just in case your TV doesn't recognise the current mode.
The final piece of housekeeping is setting up your watermarks for captured video. Hauppauge Personal Logo Inserter

, the standalone program previously needed for this, has now been integrated into the main Hauppauge Capture application along with StreamEez. This utility allows you to select an image of any reasonable size and overlay it on the video frame in any position. Opacity is also adjustable, allowing you to obscure the footage as little as possible. This logo is then overlayed on both captured and streaming video, but we should note that video which has been scaled did not have the overlay scaled to the same degree, resulting in a larger watermark as the video is downscaled. It seems likely that this will also be fixed in an upcoming application release.
