Connecting T6i to Elgato Game Capture HD I recently purchased an Elgato HD for my MacBook Air, and I am fairly new at learning how everything comes together, so bear with me.

I am trying to connect my Canon T6i as a capture device and I have been semi successful, but I have some other questions. I have connected the camera to the capture card via HDMI, but it can only be recognized through USB and I'm not fond of the delay. Is there any way around this? I may be wrong, and correct me if I am, but I was under the impression that I could use the Elgato HD to capture video through HDMI.

My setup right now has HDMI from the T6i to the capture card, and another HDMI from the capture card to an HDMI adapter. I'm assuming this is my issue here, but I have not found any clear answers anywhere.
Witch HDMI adapter are you talking about? You can only connect your Elgato to your Mac via usb, no other way. The delay in some frames is pretty normal in a MacBook Air.
