A good example is when the user has two computers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One is likely to be playing the games, while the other is likely to be recording the oncoming content. A capture card comes between the two computers and helps to have them working together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One will be doing the actual work, and the other will do the recording with the help of the capture card. After the other computer does all the recording and conversion work, the user will easily upload the content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What Is a Video Capture Card and Do I NEED It?\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jq08LBeFanU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Terms_that_relate_to_the_working_of_the_capture_card\"><\/span>Terms that relate to the working of the capture card<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are specific terms that relate closely to the process and the work that a capture card does.
