Available for download from the official website, the Game Capture HD works with both Windows and Mac, and provides out of the box support for all the major streaming services, including Twitch, UStream, and even YouTube. The backbone of any capture device is its bundled software, and thankfully Elgato provides an extensive, easy to use, and robust piece of software to work on.

Of course, the AverMedia Live Gamer Portable could only record at 30fps on SD cards, so it’s not too much of a drawback if you are completely focused on 60fps content. This could make the HD60 a little difficult to carry if you intend to record footage during events or conventions as you would have to lug around a laptop or a desktop around with you. Unlike the AverMedia Live Gamer Portable, the HD60 records to PC only, instead of having an option to also save on an SD card. Recorded gameplays are compressed with the H.264 codec (mp4 container), and while the video quality is absolutely sufficient at the highest setting, those craving for that extra bit from their recordings will be left short on that front. Considering the favorable demand for Let’s Plays of old-school games, it seems like an oversight to skip on that. Most notably is the lack of the composite port which allows you to hook up retro consoles. Keeping it simple also means that, unfortunately, Elgato has shed some features that still might be useful for some. Setting it up is quite simple: just hook up the console’s HDMI to the device’s HDMI ‘in’ port, run a cable from HDMI ‘out’ to the display, and hook it up to a PC via USB and you are ready to go. The simplicity in the packaging means Elgato expects the HD60 to run right out of the box. Its matte black finish is marked only by an Elgato logo, with both of the HDMI ‘in’ and ‘out’ ports residing on each side of the device along with a USB port and a mic jack for commentary. The device itself is barebones and simple. Inside the box, all you will find is the device, a sticker, and the necessary cables.

I thought connect the Elgato Game Capture HD60 Pro HDMI OUT to laptop, but I don't know how to pick up the signal from within laptop. I am so confused, pretty much sitting in the cables now and my laptop on my desktop table wondering how the hell to do this. So now, HOW? How do I do this? How do I get my laptop to do the streaming and recording while my gaming pc I just use for playing games. This is so that my gaming pc CPU is used only for gaming and CPU of my laptop is used for streaming in streamlabs obs and recording in older obs. Then I want to stream and record on my laptop. Recording is done in another older version of OBS to record gameplay without the overlays from streamlabs OBS. I use streamlabs OBS for twitch streaming. The Elgato Game Capture HD60 Pro has one HDMI in and one HDMI out. I have installed an Elgato Game Capture HD60 Pro in the gaming pc. The 2nd smaller monitor has two HDMI connections. The big monitor I use has one HDMI and two DP connections and tommorow I will have a DP to HDMI cable converter too.
