Here is a closer look at Hauppauge HD PVR (1212).

About

The foundational Hauppauge hardware-H.264 encoder box, in a large standalone chassis requiring an external 5V/2A power brick — its component/composite/S-Video loop-through passthrough only stays active while the unit itself is powered on, and it was widely used to capture Xbox 360, Wii, and PS3 (bypassing PS3's HDMI encryption by tapping its component multi-AV port instead).

Max resolution: 1920x1080@60Hz
Requires DisplayLink driver: No

Ports: 1× Componente (YCrCb/YPrPb, entrada), 1× Video Compuesto (entrada), 1× S-Video (entrada), 1× Componente/Compuesto/S-Video (salida, passthrough, solo activo con la unidad encendida) and 1× USB (USB 2.0, requiere alimentación externa 5V 2A, salida al host)

Confirmed with

Notebook (generic)
Confirmed functional across eras, from Vista-era laptops through contemporary laptops recording retro gameplay. On macOS it needs a paid third-party license (HDPVRCapture, ~$30) to initialize, and on Windows the bundled ArcSoft Showbiz editor is prone to lockups and preview-panel slowdowns.
