Both Game Capture HDand 4K Capture Utilitysoftware support analog audio capture from specific capture devices. The analog audio level can be changed in the software settings. In this example with the MSI B550M Mortar motherboard, when a M.2 SSD is installed, the PCIe x4 slot will be disabled.

Next is the Recording tab, which is probably the most important tab out of the entire settings menu. Firstly, users can select where their gameplay saves on their PC through 'Library Location', as well as where screenshots are saved through 'Screenshot Location'. Next is the Video Encoder. I would recommend that users select whatever their graphics card is for their video encoder as it will do a much better job than the inbuilt software. HDMI cables vary in quality and speed. Make sure to use the HDMI cable that came with your Elgato Capture Device. Elgatooffers a comprehensive selection of capture devices, each suited to a particular setup. Below you'll find a summary of their features and suggested uses. In some cases, there may be communication issues between the TV/Monitor and the capture card, which prevents 1080p120 Hz from working correctly. If that is happening, please try the steps below:When using Cam Link 4Kor Game Capture HD60 S+in OBS Studio on macOS, the audio capture needs to be set manually. Audio is not captured from capture devices automatically like in OBS Studio for Windows.

If you have a PlayStation 5 plugged into 4K60 Pro and are using a 120Hz monitor, you will be able to play and capture at 1080p or 1440p 120Hz. Using headphones and capturing game audio can be done by using the Elgato Chat Link cable. Learn more about Chat link here. To record the full 120Hz signal into a 120fps video, other software such as OBS Studio must be used and configured to record at 120fps.Note: This update does NOT affect Game Chat or Lobby Chat. At this time, the Xbox console only sends Game Chat or Lobby Chat to the connected headset. This is something Microsoft would need to change or update. If your headset does not have a mix-amp or similar device with a audio output like a Stream Port, then the only way to capture this is through a wired headset using Elgato Chat Link. Yes, regardless of which Elgato capture device you own, you'll be able to capture your PlayStation 5 gameplay on day one.PlayStation 5 features a HDCP toggle exactly like the PlayStation 4. Once HDCP is disabled capture will work.

Chat Link is only able to let you capture audio that is output from the controller. If your headset plugs directly into your controller using a 3.5mm cable, it will work with our Chat Link. However USB or Wireless Headsets don’t connect through the controller, and are thus not directly compatible. This change will send party chat to your headset but also over the HDMI connection to your TV/Monitor and your Elgato capture card.These older drivers are designed for software that was released a few years ago. They are only useful to people that have decided not to update their software. First off, I'm going to walk you through setting up the 4K60 Pro. This will be a tutorial for how to install the 4K60 Pro into your PC, as well as setting it up to work in both OBS and Elgato's 4K Capture Utility. PC Setup Encode video on the capture device and record directly to your PC's hard drive without overloading its CPU. Next, if you have NVIDIA GPU, that is a 20 series you want to change your 'Encoder' to NVENC H.264 (new) as this will take the load off your CPU and put it on your GPU.

The PCIe generation refers to updated standards, enabling faster speeds. PCIe generations are denoted as PCIe 2.0, PCIe 3.0, and PCIe 4.0. As of the writing of this article, PCIe 4.0 is the latest generation. Dual-PC Setups: Game Capture 4K60 Pro MK.2 features an HDMI 2.0 input and output, and is thus capable of capturing and passing through high refresh rate signals such as 1080p240Hz and 1440p144Hz. This makes Game Capture 4K60 Pro MK.2 the ideal choice when using a two-PC streaming setup. Elgato Game Capture devices capture sound in stereo (2.0) format. Make sure the PlayStation 4 is set to output Linear PCM.Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One X/S allow users to send party chat audio to two outputs at the same time. Both to your headset as well as to your TV/Capture Card. In this guide we will go through the process of enabling this feature. Lane Width refers to the number of PCIe lanes supported by the physical slot. Larger slots can support more lanes, enabling higher speeds. But not all devices will use all of the lanes provided by a slot.
