Can anyone tell me what these services do?

For what it's worth I've been trying to get NVIDIA to tell me what "NVIDIA Capture Server Proxy" service does for a few days. It recently got installed and if you search NVIDIA's website get get nothing.

I did a chat with a NVIDIA tech and they said "It is related to shadow play. please do not worry about it"

I asked for some documentation and they replied "These are development application so we do not have any documentation on this"

Uh, wtf?

I've recently figured out what 'shadowplay' is but the lack of documentation and reluctance to talk about the service is disturbing.

It's a video capture technology.

So shadowplay is a way to record your screen without you noticing a slow-down in the computer.

That Nvidia installed that without asking may actually be a rather worrying thing.
