Questions about Elgato Game Capture HD60S+

Consoles

Yes works.

Yes, with streaming software like OBS (free), you can stream with the Elgato across various platforms; even Facebook.

Dear Ms Gehrer, The answer to your question is yes, definitely. I have had the HD60S+ for a while, but for the Ps4 pro, yet I was able to test it out on the Nintendo Switch, which belongs to my brother. I hope you are satisfied with this answer and wish you the best of luck. Yours sincerely, AM

Yes, because the Elgato picks up the HDMI signal that goes to the TV, this can also be recorded. The Nintendo Switch simply has to be connected to the Elagto Box via the docking station and from there to the TV.

Both (sound and video), but with the PS4/5, for example, you have to change the output from DTS to PCM. (Depending on the console)

Yes, it works well, I only use it for the switch myself.

In the settings Audio>Audio device> Select the Tv for output. But then you won't hear anything on your headset... Maybe it still has the function "Multi output" somewhere in the settings, if you can activate it, it should work. But it's not the Elgato, it's the Ps4. Here's another video (yes it's very old but it's all the same anyway) watch from 2:10 :) https://youtu.be/QAqJi_2A5Ck I hope you get it right somehow. Greetings Pagõ

Yes, is possible

If you really want to continue streaming ONLY on the PS4, then no such device will help you to improve the stream. It also depends on what you mean by "improving the stream". If you are willing to create overlays and use animations/transitions etc. for your streams, then you can do this with a software like OBS Studio or similar and integrate your PS4 gameplay via capture card. THAT would significantly enhance your stream. And for this case, I can highly recommend the HD60S+. TL;DR: without a PC and streaming software, no device will help to "enhance" a stream from the PS4.

What was the question now?????

Hello, via the dock yes. Unfortunately not if it's a switch lite or a non docker switch

Also works perfectly for me with the Switch

I don't understand the question. If, for example, the webcam transmits an image to the laptop and the laptop is connected to another PC via Game Capture, then the entire screen (of the laptop) can be recorded there. This has nothing to do with "live"...

Unfortunately, my device does not work either. I asked a long time ago how it works, because there were no instructions for use. But nobody could help.

You don't need two monitors just to use the product. The HD60S+ is hung between your console and the monitor and also connected to the PC with a USB-C cable. This gives you a stream on the PC of what you are currently doing on the console. If you are working with a monitor, you can simply switch the input between PC and console. The HD60S+ is also a low-latency capture card, so you can do many things directly from the stream on the PC (no switching on the monitor for console input), but there are sometimes slight delays. On the PC, you only need the "4K Capture Utility", a software that Elgato makes available online. It is already equipped with a recording function, so you don't need any additional software.

First of all, for clarification: the HDMI connection of the PS4 is not an input, but an output. The solution is very simple: the HDMI output of the PS4 is connected to the input of the Elgato, and the HDMI output of this device is connected to the input of the audio adapter. In addition, the USB port of the Elgato is connected to the computer with which the streaming is to take place. Of course, the whole thing only works if it really is the device mentioned (Elgato Game Capture HD60S+), as many other Elgato devices only have an HDMI input but no HDMI output.

No, it is only via USB with the Elgato software.

I can't answer the question quite conclusively because I don't own a MacBook. I use the Elgato Game Capture HD60S+ to use a normal video camera as a webcam. This means that I feed the video signal from the camera via HDMI into the Elgato and transfer it from there via USB to my desktop Windows PC. This process is completely problem-free, and again it is two independent devices (camera and PC). So if the PC has an HDMI output and the MacBook has a USB port, I think the whole thing should work.

The difference lies in the chipset used and the features available. The HD60S Plus appears under Windows as a UVC device, i.e. any software such as OBS etc. can access the device directly without drivers. The HD60S requires a special driver and software (hence the hassle of support under macOS). You can find a complete list with more details here: https://help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034171071-Elgato-Game-Capture-HD60-S-What-are-the-differences-between-it-and-the-older-Elgato-Game-Capture-HD60-S-. I would recommend the HD60 Plus

The Elgato support page says it works, but only for the xbox360. On reddit they say that the splitter needs its own power supply ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

one hdmi and one usb 3.0 to usb c
