Due to High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP), it is not possible to record from certain gaming consoles. HDCP content (for example, movies) are protected, but the console itself may or may not have permanent HDCP enabled on the HDMI output.
For more information about consoles and their permanent HDCP enforcement, consult the following table:
| Console | Permanent HDCP |

| PlayStation 4 |
Optional. You can change the settings in the menu. |

|
XBox 360 |

| XBox One | No |
You can use a video capture card with consoles that do not have permanent HDCP enabled.
