Elgato Game Capture 4K X

A Logical Evolution in the Elgato Game Capture Line, Designed for Modern Gaming

The HD60 X continues the tradition of Elgato capture cards aimed at creators, with a clear approach: preserve the gaming experience on your screen while sending your computer a signal that can be immediately used in your software. With the arrival of HDR, high frame rates, and VRR on recent consoles, needs have changed: it is no longer enough to just "capture"; you must also pass through a high-end signal without compromising responsiveness. The HD60 X meets this reality by combining a very comprehensive pass-through (up to 2160p60 HDR and VRR) and capture optimized for streaming and editing.

Who the HD60 X Is For: Streamers, Creators, Video Podcasters, and Content Studios

The Elgato HD60 X external capture card is designed for those who want to produce a "pro" output without complicating their setup. You play on PS5, PS4/Pro, Xbox Series X/S, or Xbox One X/S, and you want to stream in OBS or record cleanly on PC or Mac? The HD60 X bridges your console and your computer while maintaining smooth display on your monitor or TV.
It is also suitable for hybrid production uses: capturing a console for overlays, tutorials, YouTube videos, coaching sessions, or integration into videoconferencing tools (meetings, presentations, demonstrations). Its "streaming via any app" functionality gives you freedom: you choose your workflow, codec, scenes, audio mix, and automation.

Key Features: Smoothness, Controlled HDR, and Creative Freedom

Play Under the Best Conditions Thanks to HDR and VRR Pass-Through

Pass-through is the heart of a good capture setup: your gameplay must remain enjoyable, with no perceptible lag. The HD60 X delivers a "lag-free pass-through" HDMI output with broad compatibility (up to 2160p60, 1440p120, 1080p240), supporting HDR and VRR. The result: you enjoy the smoothness and responsiveness expected on current consoles, including games that rely on high frame rates.

Capture Optimized for Streaming: 1080p60 HDR10 or 2160p30

On the capture side, the HD60 X offers resolutions designed for content creation: 1080p60 HDR10 for smooth streaming, or 2160p30 to maintain high definition in recording. The raw video stream is transmitted in real time to your computer, allowing you control in your software: scenes, overlays, transitions, chat, alerts-all remain under your command.

Tone Mapping: Play in HDR, Capture in SDR

If you want to enjoy HDR on your screen but keep a simpler SDR capture that is easier to edit, lighter to stream, or more compatible depending on the platform, the tone mapping feature is here for that: it facilitates a workflow where the gaming experience remains premium while maintaining a capture suited for production and streaming.

Flashback Recording: Never Miss "The Moment"

An unexpected clutch, a decisive action, a perfect improvisation... and you hadn't started recording? With Flashback Recording, the HD60 X lets you go back in time and retroactively save your best sequences. It's the ideal tool for creators who want to capture the moment without interrupting their session.

No Subscription, No Limits: A Tool Made for Production

The HD60 X is designed for constraint-free creation: no watermark, no time limit, no subscription. Whether you record a short clip or a long live stream, you keep the freedom to produce, archive, and publish as you wish.

Software Compatibility and Stream Deck: A Setup That Automates

The card integrates easily with streaming and recording environments: OBS, Streamlabs, Vmix, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and more. And if you use a Stream Deck, you can trigger Flashback, start recording, take screenshots, and speed up your recurring actions for a smoother and more "studio" workflow.
