PS4 USERS MUST READ

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2017

Verified Purchase

Overall a very very great product for game capturing. I use this for my PS4 and there's quite a few steps one needs to do before we can even record.
The first one is you must disable the DCHP settings on the PS4. Otherwise your screen will keep flashing "No signal." To do this you must do the following:
Go to [Settings] > [System] > UNCHECK [Enable DCHP] > Reset PS4
After that you're good to record, UNLESS, you plan on recording while you use a headset. If you do, you have to order a different cord that's not included with the package. This cord is known as the "Elgato Chat Link" cable which allows you to hear the chat/game sound in your headphones while also allowing the Elgato to pick it up as well. And IF you're using this Elgato, you also must buy a 3.5mm to RCA adapter as well as the cut link cable. All this JUST to record sound and chat with headphones.

Overall, very great product. Would be 5 stars if I didn't have to go through all the extra ordering OR if the package just came with the extra cords, but it doesn't.

Doesn't do ANYTHING that I actually bought it for, for the stupidest reasons

Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2018

Verified Purchase

It looks like you could use this to stream footage from a console or something like that. Though I haven't had luck with any of the purposes that I bought it for. And it just seems like these could be extremely easy fixes for something so simple, on equipment that seems to be updated really frequently. I have been nothing but disappointed.

The first was that I wanted to use it for pass-through. I thought I could use my laptop as a monitor to play game consoles using pass-through when I'm on the go. I've tried it with other, cheaper cards that ended up breaking, but up until they broke, they worked fine via passthrough. Quality's not so great, but that's to be expected. Bought this one, quality looks fine, but a 6-second delay in the input from the console to showing up on the screen means that this will NEVER be possible. They say it's because of the conversion from AV to HDMI though it worked just fine on the cheaper cards. No way to switch something off to where that delay isn't a thing. despite that I don't even need to buy an HD upscaler to use it with AV output. It's got its own hookups for that! I know upscaling can have a delay; that's why HDTVs have a game mode on them. It gets rid of the delay in exchange for some slightly less colorful but barely noticeable image changes. There's no way to get this to work via passthrough purely because of that tiny flaw.

I was okay with that though because I really bought it to capture VHS tapes. Seemed to work fine on the cheaper capture cards apart from the fact that there are no settings to sync up the input/output framerates and quality leading to a diminished image. I was happy to see that you can do that with this more expensive one. The problem? If the VHS tape you are using has ANY flickering in the slightest, the capture card stops receiving for a full 6 seconds and it does this CONSTANTLY. This makes it impossible to use to rip VHS tapes. There's absolutely no way to force it to record and just persistently capture what I need it to. I don't even record with the capture card; I use Bandicam once it's hooked onto my screen. It's also impossible to get it to stop showing the menu, so I can't show only the video once it's done being captured. And even then despite that the video is 60fps/720p and the settings are set to capture 60fps/720p, it still doesn't actually display 60fps.

I looked all over online for help with this and nobody has an answer. They're all saying get a different capture card. Not because this one is bad or anything; they can't explain why. But not only do I not have more money to spend on this, but this is my third capture card that I've tried and spending more money is only making the problem worse. I just want to rip basic, BASIC VHS home movies at the same framerate it was recorded at. I can edit the aspect ratio and color in post; I just want to capture the damn footage.

I thought about just using it to stream with when/if I get to that point but that really was just a tertiary reason for buying it. For something this expensive it really shouldn't be such a problem to do something so simple. It feels like the tech is creating its own artificial problems at this point.

Belligerent and Horrendous in Every Regard

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2019

A total tech failure. It requires an external power source for you to be able to watch devices it's connected to any longer. Ordinarily this is your PC, as it uses the same flimsy little PS3-era USB cable to transmit the stream (at a disgustingly inflated bandwidth no less), but when you have your computer shut off (because these devices really are not meant to run 24/7), you have to rearrange all the plugs between your television and gaming devices.

I'm not sure there's enough webpage storage available on Amazon to get into all the flaws with the software. I'll try to pick out a quick few summaries in hopes I don't leave out any of the major points (but it's inevitable). The software is so complicated. For some reason, it wants you to pick out which gaming device you're using which is totally unnecessary as it should just be acting as a branch output for what's being sent to your TV--no matter what it is, the stream should be catching it. After a while, it stops detecting that everything's pleasantly hooked up as it should be, and just lazily claims it can't find the device (it's too harrrrrrd). It's also a gluttonous bandwidth hog for uploads, which take an absurd amount of time (although this is partly the fault of the American corporatocracy). You can barely even use Discord voice chat when you're uploading a gameplay capture.

The Elgato Sound Capture software is exactly as useful as a splash screen. Anytime you try to change the settings, the program will crash. You can throw away months of your life bantering back and forth with their hopelessly inane tech support who'll tell you to be Microsoft's problem, Microsoft will tell you to be Elgato's problem, they'll want to look at some spec dump about a few dozen times, ask you to reinstall Windows a few dozen times, and then tell you that the reason it doesn't work is because you have some random game installed on Steam, such as Yonder the Cloud-Catcher Chronicles or RPG Maker 95+ or Zork II: Candy Crush Edition or some such nonsense.

And don't expect it to work with PS3 on HDMI for whatever reason. Whatever Sony does with its hardware, it should be illegal.

Excellent capture device

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2017

Verified Purchase

Considered the standard against which other external capture devices are compared. Excellent capture device, especially if, like me, you still cling to Windows 7 like a buoy in a stormy sea. Will do 720p at 60fps if you configure both the Elgato software and OBS correctly, and if your CPU is up to snuff - if not, stick to 30fps and it'll work well even on low-end hardware. With an adapter (from Elgato's website) the device will capture S-Video and composite.

Comes with all the connections for retro gaming but...

Reviewed in Canada on February 19, 2020

Verified Purchase

It's a finicky card. It's also at end of service by the manufacturer. to make it work well you need to grab an older driver Elgato DOES NOT PROVIDE ANYMORE! Sometimes it just decides to stop working. Sometimes it decides no matter what you do it won't grab the right signal. Sometimes it refuses to save your settings...

Even current Elgatos aren't that great to be honest. I recommend a decent hdmi based avermedia card for modern content and buying a line doubler/tripler like the retrotink 2x or the OSSC for retro content to send to said avermedia card.

Good Product

Reviewed in Canada on August 30, 2019

Verified Purchase

If you are using Window 7, this product is actually difficult to install. The amount of troubleshooting I had to do was quite extensive, but it was worth it once I got it running. I am planning on doing a Windows 10 review shortly after a week.

The quality is perfect, though for the ps3 is quite limiting but excellent all the same. I have used it to record all the systems I own, which are the ps2, n64, wii, wii u, and ps4. I found the quality of videos vary due to the older consoles having different resolution, but this is excellent hardware and requires a bit of understanding to set it up but there are youtube videos online for that.

Stream/Record Quality is 10/10. I use a 1.60GHz processor below the required 2GHz and I can stream at 1080p 30fps w/o Stream Com

Reviewed in Canada on July 12, 2017

Works as advertised, looks as advertised, Great Buy Overall. Quick side note for those of you deciding between this and the HD60: If you plan on recording/streaming on your consoles on the Elgato HD with all of the audio + the inclusion of (party chat) audio all passing through your headset, it'll require you to invest in an "Elgato Party Chat Link" which is roughly $10 US, a component adapter which is roughly 10$ US and a 3.5mm Female to Stereo RCA Male which is roughly $5 US. All of that totals up to $25 US + the $150 price tag totalling up to $175 + tax. Whereas the Elgato HD60+ would only require you to have the "Elgato Chat Link" priced at $10 to have that complete audio setup on console. Keep in mind this is the only Elgato capture card which is compatible with both Next and Old Gen consoles.

Solid enough, not quite perfect though

Reviewed in Canada on October 10, 2017

Verified Purchase

The software that's included with the Elgato is very unstable when it comes to files over 1 hour long, no matter if it's encoded via a video card or the software renderer. After some fiddling, it works perfectly fine with OBS, although it does not override HDCP (so consoles like the PS3 need some work in the settings to function properly) and shows "No signal" instead of static or what image attempts to appear if the signal is interrupted like a Hauppauge would do, for example, when transferring a home video to digital.
