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.
