The recording will be at 720p at 60fps, but it’s certainly a lot better than the previous output, which was nothing. There have been times that I’d have liked to capture as well as stream, but was forced to pick just one.
#Original elgato game capture hd software 1080p#
The biggest addition here is the ability to now simultaneously stream 1080p at 60fps while also capturing it. LEGO Loki is pleased with his dominion over capture devices.Įlgato could have easily pushed this new hardware with a slight upgrade to the old software, but apparently they were thinking about this between hardware revisions as well.
The HD60 is a “pro-sumer” level device, so I didn’t expect it to be able to withstand uncompressed video. That isn’t to say that there aren’t alternatives out there for 1080p at 60fps solutions- DarkCrystal, Matrox, Crestron, and others make systems that will capture a raw, uncompressed, and very high speed video stream, albeit at more than five times the price. Other sites like Vimeo, Playwire, Dailymotion, Twitch, and others will inevitably have to shore up their services to match as more users stream from their consoles at these resolutions and frame rates. They are still rolling it out to us plebeians, but Electronic Arts trailers are getting the royal treatment for now. But here’s the question – as a shoutcaster, YouTube broadcaster, or even a member of the press, why does 60fps matter?Īs of June 2014, YouTube supports 1080p at 60fps. The Elgato Game Capture HD was more than capable of displaying at 1080p and would even pass through at 60fps, but when it came to capturing it, cut that frame rate in half. The first and foremost selling point for the HD60 is right in the name – 60fps. With the chucked AV cable out of the way, the list of what has been added is far bigger than you might think.
That said, Google has your answer if you want to bypass it – “HDCP decryption on PS3” is your key. As they didn’t allow unencrypted HDMI pass-thru, the PlayStation 3 is the culprit in this case. While this might sound like a knock against Elgato, this is more of a Sony decision. This means that this newest device doesn’t capture on the PlayStation 3. In slimming down the overall profile of the system, the next thing to go was the extra AV cable that came with the original Game Capture HD. Never disrupt the Elgato when they are spooning.
