Three reference configurations are proposed, but other combinations are posible:
* [Video capture and VGA or DVI desktop|#videocapturecard]
* [HD Webcam and VGA or DVI desktop capture|#webcamusb]
* [HD video capture and HDMI desktop capture|#hd]

For instance: The audio may be recorded independent from the video capture card, though it's not usually recommended.

In this release, two reference configurations are proposed. One uses an USB web camera the other uses a video capture card, such as the Hauppauge PVR350. In both cases, using a VGA capture card model VGA2USB or superior is recommended.
