This is welcome flexibility, because Elgato’s software didn't properly work during testing. An HDMI cable and a USB-A-to-USB-C cable are included in the box.Įlgato has its own, free 4K Capture Utility software for Windows, but the HD60 X also works with any standard recording or streaming software that accepts input from a video capture device. The front panel holds a 3.5mm audio jack for a headset or microphone, and the back panel has an HDMI input for the connected console, an HDMI output for your TV or monitor, and a USB-C port for connecting to your computer. It’s a matte black plastic rectangle measuring 2.8 by 4.4 by 0.7 inches (HWD), with pinched sides to give it a flat hexagonal front silhouette. The HD60 X looks more rectangular than the round-edged HD60 S+, but not quite as much of a stark block as the 4K HD60 S+. Just know that you'll want to use third-party capture or streaming software, as Elgato’s own capture app suffered some problems in testing. You must choose between prioritizing resolution or frame rate, but it works equally well for both tasks. However, it can also capture 4K video at 30 frames per second. It can capture 1080p video at 60 frames per second like its name implies. If you want to record 4K/60fps video on your game console, you need either a desktop PC with a free PCIe card slot for a capture card, or you must be willing to pay around $400 for an external, 4K/60fps-capable USB capture device.Įlgato strikes an appealing compromise with its oddly named HD60 X. Capturing that action for Let’s Play videos or Twitch streams, on the other hand, is a bit harder. It's surprisingly easy to play games at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
