Does Hauppauge HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition Work with PS4?

No. The Hauppauge HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition is incompatible with PS4.

Why

• HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): PS4 encrypts all HDMI output. The HD PVR 2 lacks HDCP stripping/decryption (illegal in many jurisdictions).
• Input Mismatch: PVR 2 captures via Component (YPbPr) or Composite—PS4 has HDMI only.

Working PS4 Capture Solutions

• Elgato Game Capture HD60 S / HD60 X / 4K60 Pro: HDMI pass-through, hardware encoding, official PS4 support (HDCP handled via handshake).
• AVerMedia Live Gamer Portable 2 Plus / Live Gamer 4K: Similar, standalone recording option.
• Razer Ripsaw HD: Compact, HDMI passthrough.
• PS4 Built-in Share: Records 15 min clips / streams to Twitch/YouTube — no hardware needed.

Buy a modern HDMI capture card; the HD PVR 2 is for PS3/Xbox 360/Wii U (component).
