I was using it with Apple tv then mirror airplay the ipad screen. But now i have hdmi in set to the output of my 4x4 hdmi matrix... This allows me to have hdmi in to all my hdmi accesories including games consoles. Which i should be able to record - although havnt got round to testing it yet.most of the time ive been using it with the pip feature. Although i have noticed there is around half a second lag, so live gaming is not ideal.
