How to see Pioneer Elite SC27 menus through PC monitor?

[moshken]

Hello,
I just purchased the “BFG BFGEGTX260MC896OCDE GeForce GTX 260 Overclocked MAXCORE Video Card - 896MB GDDR3, PCIe 2.0 x16, SLI Ready, (Dual Link) Dual DVI, HDTV, Dual VGA Support.” This Video card does not have any input connection to it.
I have a Pioneer Elite SC27 A/V receiver which I would be able to listen to some Internet radio. The receiver is hooked up to TV monitor, so I have to turn the TV on to go through the entire receiver’s menu. What I would like to do is to connect one the video output of the receiver to my PC so I would be able to use my PC monitor to go through the receiver's menus instead of turning the TV set on to do that.
So I am wondering if there is such a card and if I can use it with the current card that I have at the same time?

Thank you so much.
Mo

I think you'd need a video capture card. Please be aware of the HDCP protection (although I highly doubt this would interfere with viewing the menu). But if the HDCP is an issue, you'd have to hook up your receiver to your computer via a different video output such component video.

Visit NewEgg and search for this item:

Also, read about video capture cards on Wikipedia.


I hope this helps.
