If you game on a console and you wanna start streaming or recording
your gameplay using a pc, you're gonna want to get a capture card.
And if your gaming console is the Xbox Series X or S, or even the PS five,
you're gonna want to consider getting the HD 60 X capture card by Elgato.
So in today's video, I'm gonna tell you everything you need to know about
the Elgato HD 60 x, so you can decide if it's what you need by the end of
this video, let's go ahead and dive in.
So let's go ahead and kick off with the design of the HD 60 X.
It's very thin and lightweight, and then it has rubber pads on the bottom
to keep it sliding off of your desk.
Then it's gonna go ahead and have three main ports that you're gonna
use in the back, making it easy for you to be able to go ahead and
cable manage everything, allowing you to keep the HD 60 X on the desk.
So the three ports on the back are gonna be the HDMI in.
Your USB C port, and then your HDMI out, and I'll explain here in
just a few moments where everything goes once we dive into the cables.
Then on the front of the HD 60 x, you're gonna have a 3.5 millimeter jack, which
is great for a capturing or the audio.
For your recording or live stream.
So let's talk about the cables that you're gonna get inside of the box.
So you're going to go ahead and get a USBC to U SB 3.0, which is what's
gonna go ahead and power the HD 60 x.
The USB side connects to your PC or Mac.
And then the USB C side connects to the HD 60 X.
Now, one thing to remember is that if your PC or Mac is turned off,
the HD 60 x is also turned off.
Meaning you're not gonna get any video feed to your monitor
or TV from your console.
You need to have your PC or Mac.
Powered on.
Then you're going to go ahead and get a HDMI cable that you're going to use in
the HDMI out port, and then the other end is gonna go into your monitor, which is
gonna send the feed from your console.
Then in the HDMI in port, This is where you want to connect the HDMI
cable coming from your console.
Now, the HD 60 X doesn't just work with the Xbox Series X or S or the PS five.
You are gonna be able to utilize this capture card with older consoles like
the PS4 Xbox One, and the Switch.
You're just not gonna be able to take advantage of.
All the features that the HD 60 X can offer.
So let's talk about some of the features.
So the HD60 X offers variable refresh rate, and all that means is that the
HD 60 X is gonna sync your frame rate of your console and your monitor.
So there isn't any kind of shutter on your footage.
Now this is gonna be one of those features that you're not gonna be able to utilize.
If you're on an older console, like the PS4 or Xbox One, and also to
use the V R R, you are gonna need a monitor that supports HDMI forum
or a M D free Sync Technology.
And you're gonna need a capable source like the Xbox Series X or S, or the
PS5 that offers V R R, so the HD 60 x can capture up to 1440 P 60 sdr.
1080p, 60 hdr, and 4K 30 hdr.
And if you don't know what SDR or HD R means, it's a method
of displaying video content.
So HDR is gonna give you more detail in your video, and SDR is gonna
provide you less detail and color.
So you are gonna go ahead and get 1080p HDR recording with no limits
on how long you can actually record.
You're also gonna get instant game view, meaning that you're gonna have.
Ultra low latency in your recording or your streaming software, and
then talking about software.
The HD 60 is compatible with the Mac M one or higher.
It's gonna go ahead and work on any Windows, laptop or desktop system.
The HT 60 X is also gonna work with streaming softwares like OBS,
Xsplit, stream Labs, Twitch Studio, without needing to set up anything.
And of course, you are gonna be able to utilize the HD60 X to stream
on platforms like Twitch Kick.
YouTube, Facebook, and many others.
Now, I've had this for about a year and it's worked perfectly for my
streaming and recording use case.
And if you are just getting started streaming using OBS and a pc, go
ahead and check out this playlist right here where I show you how to
go ahead and set up your HD 60 x in OBS, along with all your overlays to
make your stream look professional.
