Also Works Well for Quality VHS Tape Capture
6 May 2020semesa2

originally posted on ebay.com

I have gotten excellent results capturing VHS tapes using the HD60 S. To do this I use an HDMI Composite to Video Converter (Tendak). It takes the VCR analog output and produces a deinterlaced HDMI video stream at either 720p@60fps or 1080p@60 fps. The HD60 S grabs the HDMI signal and writes a raw video file, and optionally, a playable/editable video file. CAVEAT: using the Elgato tools I have consistently gotten quality captures at 720p@60fps. However, you should review the system requirements and give yourself lots of headroom if you want to capture at 1080p@30-60fps. My system only just meets the *minimum* requirements (including an NVEC-compliant NVidea GPU) but it is still not fast enough to keep up. At 1080p the larger format frames have great image quality, ... MoreI have gotten excellent results capturing VHS tapes using the HD60 S.

Great card, not for Mac & OBS
19 December 2021

This capture card works great, but only on my Windows PC. I actually bought this for use with a 2020 MacBook Air with an M1 and with OBS. Elgato claims to support Mac and OBS, but their support is incomplete. The card itself works with my Mac and Elgato's software, but not with OBS. (Yes, I followed their tutorial and installed all the extra drivers and software. It gets stuck on searching for signal and Elgato has no answers. ) So I would strongly advise more research and finding a different card if you plan to use this with an M1 Mac and OBS.

Great item!
12 October 2020

(Summary at bottom of review)This card works very well and is fairly easy to set up (I haven't used any other capture cards so I can't make a comparison). However, I would recommend buying an Elgato Chat Link cable with it if you intend to use the card for console streaming, so you can both record your voice and game audio while also hearing game audio through your headset. I feel that Elgato should bundle the chat link cable with the capture card. Additionally you may need a ground loop isolator, depending on the console and a couple of other factors, otherwise you may hear a loud buzzing noise in your audio while streaming. That however isn't too relevant to this review so I won't go into detail about it.

Pay attention to the system requirements
13 March 2017

If you have a system that meets or exceeds their system requirements you'll be fine. However, this device does NOT do internal video stream encoding - it transmits that stream uncompressed over the USB 3.0 cable so that the game display on the PC doesn't lag behind actual game play. This means that it will not work _at all_ over a PCI-Express x1 add-in USB 3.0 card on an older system. Even though the interface may say it's USB 3.0, it cannot meet the bandwidth requirements for this device. I found this out when I tried to hook it up to my first gen Core i7 920 HTPC (running Windows 10) in my living room. If your processor and video card combination doesn't meet the listed minimum requirements, you'll be restricted to lower video resolutions and frame rates in the ... MoreIf you have a system that meets or exceeds their system requirements you'll be fine.

If your processor and video card combination doesn't meet the listed minimum requirements, you'll be restricted to lower video resolutions and frame rates in the software and experience frame stuttering on the display back while streaming. I have a Intel Core i7 2600K and an EVGA GTX 970 (running Windows 7). Even at 720P 30FPS I experience frame stuttering in the Instant Gameview. Fortunately, the game view does not seem to affect the stream performance, I assume this is because most of the stream encoding is being handed off to the video card. The HDMI pass-thru is also unaffected, allowing you to play via a TV or second monitor with an HDMI port. This device _does_ work on Windows versions prior to Windows 10. They have an older version of the software available on their website for Windows 7-8.1. I would recommend this product to anyone that does have a system that meets or exceeds the minimum requirements. If your system is older than a few years however, you should be aware that the Instant Gameview on the PC screen may not work well enough for you to play from the PC display, plan to have a separate TV/Monitor and use the pass-thru.

The Best in the Market

First, this Capture Card was my second that I have owned jumping from the 360 to the Xbox One. I am not a heavy user for creating videos until I have discovered the specs on this. The HD60S is the first capture card that I have known to not lag from Xbox to computer. Yes, it needs an active USB power source when not in use such as watching Netflix, which is the only downfall when you are not recording or streaming, is that you need to still have an active power source to make make the HDMI work as the Capture Card is the main Hub source. Second, I was interested in the streaming because I only streamed when I was living in America. Now that I have relocated, it is hard to stream because my latency reaches 190-250 daily because I am on an island.

Second, I was interested in the streaming because I only streamed when I was living in America. Now that I have relocated, it is hard to stream because my latency reaches 190-250 daily because I am on an island. This capture card does no latency at all meaning lagging if you plan to stream using a high ping QOS provider. My network settings are 64Up & 3 down. Now let's look over quality, I am using the Mac Beta interface because it is still in the works for Elgato, but it is insanely easy to use because of the basic settings that are not advanced for a grade school student. The quality of 1080 at 30fps is remarkable because I love how clear it is on a screen when rewatching your capture films again. The problem with 1080 60fps is that if the game is able to play 60fps then it is completely glitchy on screen were the frame rate is dropping while watching. The storage space that you need is a big amount because recording from an hour to two takes up about 20-30gb and it is recording a format with H264. When streaming, the quality outputs to YouTube or twitch 720p and down res to 480. The response from Watching live is like 7-10 seconds. If you have any questions about the card, feel free to ask.

Twice shy, once bitten.

A year ago, when I was forced to figure out how to do livestream for our church services, I purchased the Elgato Game Capture HD60S, just guessing as to what to buy. After fumbling around trying to get it to work with our software (OBS and ProPresenter7). While I can't even remember why exactly why at this point, I finally opted for a device that was recommended by one of the two software companies.Now almost a year later I had to have a separate setup for another service in a totally different venue. I had already purchased a different device for this other room made by the same company that the aforementioned software company recommended, and had tested it and but hadn't used it in a live service as of yet.

While I can't even remember why exactly why at this point, I finally opted for a device that was recommended by one of the two software companies.Now almost a year later I had to have a separate setup for another service in a totally different venue. I had already purchased a different device for this other room made by the same company that the aforementioned software company recommended, and had tested it and but hadn't used it in a live service as of yet. The second week I tried using it the device became very unstable and I knew it had to be replaced.At this point, I ordered the Elgato HD60S hoping it would do the job. it did! And, it does! For several weeks now we've connected it to our streaming laptop and it has worked flawlessly with OBS. I am using the analog audio input as we do a separate audio mix from our digital mixer and there is absolutely no noise present that isn't generated from there. I've had trouble with another device which had high self-noise, but the Elgato is trouble-free. I'm glad I gave it another shot.

Works well for capturing games but dont use preview to play
6 April 2019

Currently using MacOS 10.14.4, iMac 5K 2015The device works well for capturing video/game footage (including audio) to files, or for streaming. Captured game footage looks smooth and audio sounds good.Also works well for viewing HDMI output from small devices such as Raspberry Pis and other devices without screens. If this is the only purpose then Elgato Camlink 4K also works well, is cheaper, more compact, and also works with Quicktime, Skype and other webcam apps. The reason to specifically get the HD 60 S is for capturing games while sending the HDMI output to a TV or monitor while playing lag-free.I dont recommend trying to play games via the preview window in the Game Capture HD software app. The HD 60 S is advertised as having very low preview lag but ... MoreCurrently using MacOS 10.14.4, iMac 5K 2015The device works well for capturing video/game footage (including audio) to files, or for streaming.

Therefore my recommendation is to stick to the recommended setup - use the device to capture/stream footage on a computer, but for playing connect the HDMI OUT from the HD 60 S to a TV or monitor.The dream of using this device to play games on a laptop while away from a TV will not come true with this device (or any other USB device Im aware of).A few issues I ran into:* Sometimes have had to quit and restart the app Game Capture HD to fix an issue with garbled audio* Believe Ive had to unplug/replug the device into USB on a few occasions to get it to show up again in the Game Capture HD app. Generally not an issue
