Elgato HD60 S+, External Capture Card, Stream and Record in 1080p60 HDR10 or 4K60 HDR10 with ultra-low latency on PS5, PS4/Pro, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One X/S, in OBS and more, works with PC and Mac

I bought this to replace my old capture card that had been faithful to me for over 8 years, the Hauppauge HD PVR 2. When I attempted to use the Hauppauge to capture footage from my PS5 I found I was having an odd issue with the audio being blown out in quite a lot of the playbacks. I bought the HD60+ as it came highly recommended and its refreshing for me to say it was so simple to set up and use. I took it out of the box, plugged my PS5 HDMI into one side, had another HDMI running from the output directly to my second monitor and boom, instant picture. Ran a HDMI C cable from the HD60+ to my computer, downloaded and installed the software (4K Capture Utility) and when I launched it I was good to go, stared recording my gameplay instantly. The only issue one may have is if you don't have a HDMI 3 input on your computer so you'll need to make sure you do have this in your device manager. It says that an Nvidia graphics card series 10 or higher is recommended to make use of the software's encoder but I noticed there's an option in the Capture Utility to encode using software (your CPU) instead. 10/10 would recommend.

One of the only questions I had about this product before ordering is whether it would report as a webcam automatically for the usual web conferencing platforms. It was difficult to find this information from the product literature so I had to take a risk based on a few Amazon reviews and Reddit threads. Thankfully it does!So in review, how am I finding using an EXTREMELY expensive (£500+) webcam? For me it's ideal. Thanks to the pandemic regular £85 quality webcams are either out of stock or double their RRP. Despite this being an expensive route to a webcam, I already had a Sony a5100 a dummy battery and a HDMI lead. I just wasn't using these as often as I once did. The Elgato HD60s+ was just the final piece in a very expensive puzzle to get a webcam without being extorted (pricespy indicated it was at regular price apart from occasional reductions of £10). Obviously there is no webcam on the market that can surpass the image quality of a large DSLR sensor and the low light recording is much better too. Further to this, the bokeh effect from a 20mm lens at f2.0 is a look no webcam could replicate, although I'm sure the kit lens still looks good too. For just web conferencing, this is pure overkill, but this would be a regular setup for a blogger or game streamer. For me, I felt more comfortable paying £189.99 for this setup than £179.99 for a £85rrp webcam. However, I had the remaining kit to make it operational

The Elgato HD60 S+ delivers high-quality recording and streaming with 1080p60 HDR10 and 4K passthrough, making it a great choice for content creators. The low-latency performance ensures smooth gameplay capture, and it integrates well with OBS, Streamlabs, and other software.However, setup can be hit or miss, depending on your system. Some users may experience occasional audio desync or driver issues, requiring troubleshooting. While it works with both PC and Mac, software support on Mac isn’t as refined. Also, keep in mind that it lacks built-in encoding, meaning your computer handles all the processing—so a powerful system is recommended for the best experience.Overall, it’s a solid capture card with great visuals and performance, but expect some setup challenges and system demands.

I bought this some considerable time ago and once I ironed out all the kinks, the device is probably better than it's more expensive USB brother device in the 4K60 S+.The reasons for that are that this device is a hardware upgrade from the HD60 S which has been about for some time. The software while isn't the greatest, yes I'm looking at you 4K Capture Utility, is functional and works well with the HD60 S+, however it fails with it more expensive sibling in the 4K60 S+, that's another story however.I would not recommend using this device with Elgato 4K Capture Utility version 1.7.3, and stick to the older version of 1.7.2 due to encoding and playback issues of files. It also brings in issues with HDR output via tone mapping to allow HDR in things like xSplit!The image you see on your output monitor is exactly the same as what the console/device is outputting, there is literally zero input lag and gaming is perfect. The colour and replication is great, and HDR passthrough is exceptional!Highly recommend this device!

The media could not be loaded. I have been using the Elgato HD60 S to record game footage for the last few years, so I paid close attention to the announcement of its successor.Thie HD60 S+improves upon a number of areas:* UVC Support - USB video support means that no software/drivers are necessary. When it's connected, your computer will treat it the same way it would a webcam* 4K 30FPS Recording - Most gamers will still record and stream at 1080p, but the addition of 4K at 30FPS is a welcome one.* 4K 60 FPS - You can now play games at 4K 60 FPS on your television and record at 1080p 60 FPS* HDR 10 - HDR 10 is supported when recording at 1080pIf you're looking to buy a new game recording device, this should be at the top of your list (unless your budget is significantly higher and can afford to buy more professional gear from companies such as Magewell).

The Elgato HD 60 S+ is so easy to use! Managed to get setup in less than 30 minutes. Looks very sleek too.It came with two cables: one that goes to your gaming console, and another one that’s USB to USB C for your computer. You would still need to use the HDMI that goes to your screen or projector.Since I use a MacBook Pro, also bought a USB C to USB C cable so that I don’t have to use the adapter/dongle. Even if I don’t have a dedicated graphics card, I still manage to stream and record my Nintendo Switch games. I do have a quad core processor and 8 GB of RAM.Pretty easy to use with the Elgato software, as well as with OBS or Streamlabs OBS.
