Product Information

If you didn’t wish for your Elgato Game Capture HD60 S+ to take up the whole screen, you can grab one corner and drag in towards the center to make it smaller. HEVC codec installed from the Windows store: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/hevc-video-extensions-from-device-manufacturer/9n4wgh0z6vhq The Output tab is where we control the type of file we output, how big of the file will be, and where it is saved. Leaving the Output Mode set to Simple is recommended for starting out. Video Bitrate In rare cases, a firmware update can actually harm the Elgatohardware. This is why it should always be done under the supervision of Elgato Support, under very specific circumstances. But being the only external capture card on the market that can capture 4K60 and HDR footage does allow you to record some genuinely spectacular footage to play with and share. The stand-alone recording is a tempting proposition, yet the 4K60 S+ prices itself out of the competition for most content creators.

When the Elgato Game Capture 4K60 S+ is turned on and ready to go, a small orange LED will glow. If there are issues such as an unrecognized signal or no SD card, the orange light will flash a specific LED code. In the Devices section we're able to assign additional audio sources to be used in your stream or recording. We’d generally recommend setting this to Capture audio only. If you wish to listen to audio coming from the ElgatoGame Capture HD60 S+, we’d suggest using OBS Studio’s Audio Monitoring feature.The 4K60S+ is versatile too. If you're taking it on the road, you can power it separately, as noted by an external power source. Using it in this way, you can capture PC footage directly, without using the local PC hardware, which might otherwise impact game performance. At home, you can power it via USB-C to a USB-A port on your PC. This way, you can use it for streaming games as with other Elgato capture devices, or capturing footage directly to your PC from any device connected via HDMI.

Inside of the Audio menu inside of Settings, we will want to be sure that Sample Rate is set to 48Khz. Our ElgatoGame Capture devices natively operate at 48Khz. Setting this to 44.1Khz can cause audio stutter, audio drifting over time, or other anomalies. In this guide we’ll show you how to use your ElgatoGame Capture HD60 S+ with OBS Studio and configure the software to get the most out of your device for recording or streaming. While this guide is written for OBS Studio, many of the steps are the same for Streamlabs OBS. To truly use this capture card to its full potential, you need a 4K-ready console, 4K monitor with HDR support (not cheap), and a PC beefy enough to edit 4K HDR footage ( really not cheap). Let’s not even get into the amount of bandwidth required to upload 4K video, let alone stream it. S+ records using a variable bitrate. This option defines the upper limit of bitrate that can be used.The Encoder option refers to which part of your system will be doing the work of compressing your video for streaming or recording. The maximum recording bitrate of 4K60 S+ is 200Mbps (Megabit per second) or 25MB/s (Megabyte per second)
