ELGATO HD60S + REVIEW: THE CAPTURE CARD TO RECORD IN 4K
The Elgato HD60S + capture card allows console gamers to capture gameplay footage in a native 4K resolution - a rather important breakthrough for the Elgato line products, which prior to the HD60S version were blocking the 1080p HDMI signal, preventing users PS4 Pro and Xbox One X to play in 4K while the device was connected between the platform and the screen. Elgato HD60S + places practically no limits in gameplay recording from consoles, for a well-made and reliable product.

Features and links
The Elgato HD60S + packaging includes, in addition to the
capture card, the instruction booklet and two cables: a classic HDMI cable and
the USB connection cable with a Type-C end for the card and a Type-A end to
connect to the PC on which you have installed the acquisition software.
The acquisition methods are almost identical to the previous
versions of Elgato HD60S: on the side of the input signal slot, the HDMI and
the Type C end of the USB cable must be connected, the latter destined for the
relative port of your PC.
The HDMI input must instead be connected to the Sony or
Microsoft console you are using, while the HD output signal must be placed on
the TV to which you want the video signal to be destined.
The ergonomics of this Elgato HD60S + is one of the aspects
that struck us most about the device: handy and light (just 120 grams of weight
and dimensions 112 x 75 x 19 mm, more or less like a last generation external
hard drive ), an elegant and tapered design, minimal but also extremely
functional.
On the upper front there is also an LED that lights up in
white during switching on and that notifies the correct functioning of the
device: if the video source is not ideal, or output problems arise, the LED
will light up red, but you can consult the FAQ on the official website to solve
any superficial connection problems.
Proof
Elgato HD60S + automatically extracts materials up to 4K at
30 fps if the associated devices are compatible with these standards (i.e. a TV
that supports the resolution and a PS4 Pro or Xbox One X console). Our capture
sessions ran smoothly without experiencing any lag issues, thanks to the
perfect passthrough of 2160p signals at 60 fps.
Furthermore, those who do not have 4K devices, can scale the
quality to 1080p up to a maximum of 60fps with HDR if they do not need to take
advantage of the maximum setting.
During our use we struggled a bit with the software, both in
terms of navigation and in the choice of settings to set the resolution. Once
the main features of the reference program had been assimilated, however, the
use and video acquisition from Elgato to the software proved to be rather
intuitive and smooth.
The software in question is 4K Capture Utility , the only
one compatible with Elgato HD60S +. This includes some options that will allow
you to better adjust the color balance after the acquisition of your gameplay:
the captured videos, in fact, do not always retain the contrast and quality of
the source, but with the software we were able to obtain a visual aspect much
better than the
