    I'm wondering at what recording/capturing equipment they're likely using.

    I can understand using say a Happauge or some other capture device to capture the gameplay footage, but how exactly are they capturing themselves? I've had a browse of capture cards on Amazon, and none of them have two HDMI ins - one for say Xbox in and one for camera in. Do they use one of those large bulky professional video cameras or a camcorder? What cable would they be using to capture camera footage in real time? Firewire?

    I don't really know anything about this but I will take a guess :P

    I can't think of any reason why you could not connect 2 or more HDMI capture cards to the same PC. It would have to be a fairly good quality PC but I'm sure it would work. You don't need a bulky camera for high quality video capturing to hdmi

    Just put it on a tripod and you would be set.

    Not exactly cheap but it's small.

    You might be able to get similar results with one capture card and a high quality usb webcam(about €120)
