Detailed Review
The Elgato HD60 S+ is an external capture card designed for creators who want to stream and record console gameplay without sacrificing their playing experience. It allows you to output high-definition video directly to your computer setup while passing through your console signal to your display screen.
For content creation, the device captures video at 1080p resolution at 60 frames per second with HDR10 support. At the same time, the 4K60 HDR10 zero-lag passthrough lets you play high-fidelity titles on your PS5, PS4 Pro, Xbox Series X/S, or Xbox One X in their original format. Instant Gameview technology provides ultra-low latency, helping your capture workflow stay responsive.
Managing footage is straightforward thanks to unlimited capture, which sends hours of video directly to your hard drive. If you pull off an impressive play before hitting record, Flashback Recording allows you to slide back in time to retrieve and save that footage retroactively.
As for limitations, capture quality tops out at 1080p60 HDR10 even though the passthrough supports 4K60 HDR10. Additionally, the provided details do not state computer hardware requirements, operating system support, or included accessory cables.
Verdict: The Elgato HD60 S+ is an excellent pick for console players who want 1080p60 HDR10 recording alongside uncompromised 4K60 passthrough. It suits streamers and video creators seeking low-latency feeds and retroactive recording tools.
