Here's why:
* HDMI Copy Protection: The PS4 uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) to prevent unauthorized copying of content. The HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition is designed to work with older consoles and devices that do not implement HDCP.
* Output limitations: The HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition primarily relies on composite and component video inputs, which are not available on the PS4.
Solution:
If you want to record gameplay from your PS4, you'll need to look for a capture card specifically designed for PS4, which will be compatible with HDCP and HDMI input. There are several options available from companies like Elgato, AVerMedia, and Razer.
Remember to check the compatibility of the capture card with your PS4 model and desired resolution before purchasing.
