I've been thinking lately of upgrading my stream and was wondering how streamers are able to have live 480p streams while still being able to play locally on CRT's. I have done some research but I guess I'm missing something.
My current setup is a Wii with component cables outputting to a distribution amplifier, which splits the signal from the CRT to the capture card. It seems that every capture card I put a 480i signal into looks garbage. Every card I have tried looks almost worse than the simple Dazzle I already use.
I want to get a component to composite adapter and hopefully record in 480p and play with 480i or less but I'm worried about lag that will occur.
How would one get 480p streaming with 480i output to a crt?
Edit: It's worth noting I have already tried the Elgato HD and the Avermedia Lite Gamer Portable but because I can't really see a good difference from a Dazzle, I returned both. I hope I'm just being stupid and there's an easy solution. As far as I can tell there is not..
