Elgato announced the launch of a new generation of powerful HD60 X external capture cards. The HD60 X is based on Elgato's original high-end capture card, the 4K60 S+, with a new architecture and the size of a palm. It features state-of-the-art specifications and is seamlessly compatible with next-generation consoles, allowing players to record in the highest quality format without restriction.
Players can play the game while streaming live on the network with 1080P/60FPS picture quality, while recording footage to hard drives at 1080P/60FPS/HDR10 specifications. Instant Gameview technology synchronizes players' broadcasts with games to monitor capture sources with ultra-low latency. The HD60 X supports 4K/60FPS/HDR10 pass-through, as well as VRR (Variable Refresh Rate).
Elgato offers a powerful and easy-to-use game capture software, 4K Capture Utility (4KCU), for players and creators who want to record without restrictions. The software captures everything in 1080P/60FPS/HDR10 or 4K/30FPS picture quality, plus 48kHz raw audio, including games, cutscenes, soundtracks, and chat history. After the 4K Capture Utility is turned on, it will start to temporarily cache the video, and the user can pull the progress bar to the place where they want to start recording to record. It automatically caches hours of gameplay so that users can retroactively capture them at any time. Users can also save sounds as separate tracks and adjust the volume instantly through Live Commentary. In order to record during the live broadcast, Stream Link technology will natively output the HD60 X to software such as 4K Capture Utility and OBS Studio.
Videos will be saved directly to the hard drive in HEVC format, and the 4K Capture Utility comes with a convenient file management tool that can be used everywhere as AAF files for editing in software like Adobe Premiere or Vegas Pro. Elgato said the HD60 X is fully compatible with the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and dual PC setups, allowing users to capture games in the highest quality without compromising the gaming experience.
Elgato and CORSAIR will soon ship to retailers and distributors around the world, and the HD60 X comes with a two-year warranty.
