Play and Create Without Compromise: Elgato Launches Next-Generation HD60 X Capture Card

[VSG]

Elgato, a leading provider of hardware and software for content creators, today announced the launch of HD60 X, a powerful new external capture card. Sporting state-of-the-art specs and seamless compatibility with the newest generation of game consoles, HD60 X equips anyone to stream and record their gameplay in the highest quality without limitations.

Building on the acclaimed HD60 S+, HD60 X features all-new architecture with rear ports to keep cables out of sight. The palm-sized, plug-and-play device connects to a console and sends video to both a gaming display and PC. You can then play high-fidelity games while livestreaming to Twitch or YouTube in Full HD 1080p60 quality, while simultaneously recording 1080p60 HDR10 footage to your hard drive. Instant Gameview technology syncs your broadcast with your gameplay, allowing you to monitor your capture feed with ultra-low latency.

Instant Gameview technology syncs your broadcast with your gameplay, allowing you to monitor your capture feed with ultra-low latency.

4K Capture Utility (4KCU), Elgato's powerful yet easy-to-use game capture software, is custom-built for creators looking to record without limitations. 4KCU captures all content - gameplay, cutscenes, soundtrack, chat - in high-resolution 1080p60 HDR10 or 4K30 quality with pristine 48kHz audio. If 4KCU is not set to record, Flashback Recording automatically caches several hours of gameplay so you can slide back in time to capture retroactively. Live Commentary enables you to save your voice as a separate track and adjust levels on the fly. To record while broadcasting live, Stream Link technology outputs HD60 X's native feed to 4KCU and third-party broadcast software like OBS Studio, so you can record clean, clutter-free gameplay while streaming with overlays, alerts, etc.

Gameplay recordings are saved directly to your hard drive in space-saving HEVC format. 4KCU's Library enables convenient file management tools, including Smart Folders to find and group recordings based on your search criteria. Files may be exported as AAF files for immediate editing in software such as Adobe Premiere or Vegas Pro. Fully compatible with PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and dual-PC setups, HD60 X makes it possible for creators to capture gameplay in the highest quality without compromising their next-gen gaming experience.

Availability
Elgato HD60 X is available immediately from the Elgato and CORSAIR worldwide network of authorized retailers and distributors. Elgato HD60 X is backed by a two-year warranty and the CORSAIR & Elgato worldwide customer service and technical support network.

Looks like hdmi 2.0 still. Pretty much useless. No 120hz 4:4:4, no VRR. Yikes

Other media says it has VRR passthrough. I don't think there's an existing video format that they could use for recording VRR gameplay, not sure if that's a problem really.

 

[Calmmo]

Both new consoles have VRR (Ps5 is getting an update soon) so it's a pretty big issue i'd say.

Elgato Launches Next-Generation HD60 X Capture Card​

The marketing folks at Elgato need to brush up on their terminology. This is a Capture "Box" not a Capture "Card". Cards plug into motherboards and whatnot. This product is external and standalone.

Seriously with that? No one is going to capture at 120hz. No one! Neither TweakTV, TikTok, nor YouTube have anything above 60fps yet. So your point really isn't one and seems like whiny nonsense.

And no one cares about Variable Refresh Rate(VRR), so whether or not it has VRR, for most who are going to actually stream, it's a non-issue.

 

[Calmmo]

Plenty care. Like me for instance. The device needs to be able to do 120 VRR and HDR passthrough while recording. It's not nonsence and it isnt whiny it's a reality that most of us on the look for a capture device have been waiting for a 2.1 device that can handle the current standard for TV's. But sure lets not disturb the big corps press release on TPU for the new device that doesnt bring anything new/worthwhile to the table...

I know several streamers/tubers, none of them care about 4k/120hz. Not. One.

And what would you use that for? Hmm? None of the video platforms support 4K/120 so why would you want to capture at that frame-rate? Now if you mean 1080p/120, still, no one supports that, so how is it practical or useful?

Ok, but why would you need it? No one supports 120hz and no one is planning too yet. Elgato knows this...

So wait, you're complaining to be contrary then?

The mental gymnastics used to misconstrue his words are honestly impressive. I with people would put in this much brain power to post useful content.

I'm not sure you realize who's being a contrarian here.
Peace out, dont wish to be more a part of your attack

They're complaining about a lack of features that do not matter currently and will not in the near future. The device being discussed is targeted at streamers. Not one streaming platform supports streams at framerate greater than 60fps, so bemoaning a lack of 120fps per second makes no sense whatsoever. Additionally, almost no one uses VRR, so complaining about it's absence also doesn't make sense.

I'm not sure you realize who's being a contrarian here.

I'm advocating common-sense thinking. Think what you wish..

Peace out, dont wish to be more a part of your attack

Wait, so you can complain about a lack of features, but If I take issue with your complaints suddenly I'm attacking you? I'm calling you out on your complaints, not attacking you. There's a difference.
