you got me sold to buy the elgato hd60 pro thanks for the review
Same for me, rip 180 bucks
OK - that was JUST what I was looking for and I knew where to come to find it. Mate you're mega, thanks for the review, it answered all my questions and convinced me of the way to go. Thanks!
9:48 - Okay I must be more tired than I thought because that cracked me the fuck up XD
I knew coming into this your review would be positive as I own one and swear by it, but my curiosity had me click on the link just on the off chance you hated it. If Blunty's words of praise were not enough, this capture card is insane and is an absolute stress saver for live streamers. This card does basically the same as the HD60 for recording videos, but where this card shines is in live media production as that "almost" zero latency is worth the extra money alone.
+ProTw33ks Glad to know my experience lines up with other users.
What a bloody good review! Thanks a lot for this video, really well made, edited and the information is on point.
The Picture, Audio and Mic recording seperately is a great feature for editing for sure. It surely is annoying when you see the mouths out of sync with the talking and I guess that helps prevent it in editing and is the cure.
I've had a Avermedia Live Gamer HD card for a few months now and find it great once up and running. It's pretty much this card minus the actual recording of 60fps and that awesome master record feature. This really is a great little card though I'd love to splurge on one, one day. Awesome vid as always, mate!
Omg that master copy feature seems GODLY! I really can't wait to get one of these one day ^^ This is so amazing!
GREAT review !! None of that background music stuff, just clear facts. Very much appreciated !!
You can probably get this to work with a laptop and an outboard PCI-E adapter over mini PCI-E, Thunderbolt or Expresscard.
no
D Smoove I'm not saying that it's a good idea, just that it could be possible.
*****
Well, yeah.
I've got the original Elgato Game Capture HD, right now not looking to upgrade, mainly due to being forced to stick with a laptop ever since my Desktop died earlier this year (powerful laptop though, so for the moment it suits my needs).
But I'd still keep it around regardless, due to its ability to capture stuff like my SNES and Genesis.
I'm currently sitting on my doorstep waiting for my external HD60 S to arrive. Just watched your review for that one and I'm excited to get started with it :D
Thanks for the review, best one I have seen out of the 4-5 I have looked at. Explained everything pretty well and now looking into buying this for the future since i don't have an option for recording game play from a console.
Thanks for the review Blunty :D
One of the main reasons i havent gotten one of these kind of cards was because the lag on the PC screen since i want to use OBS but damn it seems like all my problems are solved in this model. Now i only i could afford a PS4...
Using either the Elgato HD60 or the HDPVR Rocket.
Master copy is also something I had dreamed about for years... Setups I used to run years ago to be able to stream AND capture clean sources for editing into higher quality content later... absolute hogs and while fun learning experiences... not something I would want to do these days.
Technology has come a long way from running your consoles through VHS :)
I'm still using the Avermedia Live Gamer Portable. I mainly went with Avermedia because I have a PS2 which I want to record, as well as a Wii U.
Don't forget you are using two different monitors with two different response times to measure the delay. Yes there is a delay, but not one you can measure with traditional means.
+Nausher Right.. because you assume the arrangement I set up or a tidy camera shot of that, was the ONLY test I ever conducted? **sigh**
+Blunty 👏👏
I use a laptop, so I wouldn't be able to use this - but when I build my custom desktop ill have to look into this. I currently use a Hauppauge HD PVR Rocket, which allows the recording/streaming of systems that use HDMI (like this product) and RGB for systems like the PS2 or even the original xbox. It's capable of recording 1080p and can do all of its recording externally onto a flash drive. It's the best thing available for me at the time!
+Zaveguin Yup, I've got a "rocket" around here somewhere... not a bad device.... in its day ;P BUT NOW DAWNS A NEW DAY!!! heh.
+Blunty exactly! Also, thanks for replying! I'm a big fan
This is a great review. I was debating on weather or not I should ditch my HD60 for a pro, and this just sold me on it. I think I might have to put it on my Xmas list!
Thanks Blunty. Very succinct review and I will be considering this not just for game capture, but for old home movie upscaling (with the help of the Portta PETCSHP 3 RCA Composite S-video R/L Audio to HDMI Converter Upscaler 720p/1080p) and transcoding.
Heck, might even start a small (emphasis on small) composite upscaling and digital transcoding service with this thing :)
Love your videos Blunty! I don't even have an interest in getting a capture card but I watched this video right to the end nonetheless. You definitely make some of the best review videos on RUclips for pretty much everything you review. Always entertaining and informative.
I've got a question that I reckon you would be able to answer (because I can't find a definitive answer anywhere). I've got an MSI Radeon R9 280X GPU, and I'm having some problems hooking up a third monitor to it. It has 2 MiniDisplay outs, a DVI out and an HDMI out. I've been using the DVI/HDMI combo for my dual monitor setup just fine for a while. I bought a third display and a passive MiniDisplay to HDMI cable, but it isn't doing the trick. The Catalyst Control Center is telling me I need to disable one of my monitors in order to use the third monitor (meaning I can't use all 3 at once). AMD's website explicitly says that this card can output to 4 monitors simultaneously. Do you have any idea what I need to do/buy to get this setup up and running? I've heard mention of an active MiniDisplay to HDMI converter, but I was thinking maybe switching out my DVI cable for a second passive MiniDisplay to HDMI. Any thoughts? I'm running Windows 7 if that makes any difference.
Hopefully you have some insight into this, if not, no worries. Keep up the great work!
I too use the Live Gamer Portable, but I'm 100% getting the HD60 Pro soon.
Since it is a PCI 1.0 card I might get this for my RockBand4 and Halo 5 streams. Right now I am using the streaming app on Win 10 to get video and audio to my pc for streaming but this device would make it much better in overall quality.
Nice review, just ordered mine for my new streaming pc build :) Thank you Blunty
Very good video and I might go buy one of these after watching this video.
Cheers for the review i have the external hd60 and it works really well but for the preview there is unplayable amounts of delay (talking a few seconds) oh and glad to see the killer instinct....one of my fav games
Im taking a shot here that the HD60 pro is better for streaming due to the fact that my computer cant handle the stress on its CPU since using the elgato externally with other software like OBS or XSPLIT increase my CPU to 100% and when i use the software of Elgato it doesn't cause my computer to blow up. This is me using a AMD 8350 FX but im thinking to get this! Thanks.
Best review I've watched so far! Thanks bud.
I currently have the avermedia extremecap u3. It appears in your original review of said device, you left out the slowdown speed test. I would like to see how any latency compares to this device and do a direct apples to apples comparison.
I'm curious about the Master Copy feature. Did you find that everything started recording at the exact same time making the need to sync everything up non-existant recording everything into El Gato? Also, do you find everything records at the same rate so there is no slippage in the sync? I'm curious because this could make my RUclips recording a lot easier, unless of course it only works while Twitch Streaming.
What a great review, keep this up man. Now I know what i'll be buying.
Indeed this looks like a slick bit of kit!
the feature set sounds impressive for sure, but i still love the pc-free mode with the avermedia lgp that won't throw a tantrum when my pc wants to. how granular are the twitch streaming settings in elgatos software? does it accomodate shitty aus connections as well as other software you've used blunty? (i'm on 0.8mbps up but can only afford 0.4mbps twitch streams before they conk out)
Thanks for the review, Blunty. Looked around before stumbling to one of your vids as usual.
Other reviews for capture hardware were frankly embarrassing. Gems like "you can't tell the difference between 720p and 1080p" and "It does 1080p so who cares about 60fps"
Coming from brain dead reviews like those, it's nice to find you, again with some bloody sense.
+Blunty great review, really indepth. Quick question though, I've always used internal capture cards and at the moment I'm using the Live Gamer HD (which does 1080p@30fps with max bitrate of 60Mbps). However the Live Gamer HD besides a HDMI input / output also has an Audio input / output through which my speakers are connected.
How does this work with the Elgato HD60 Pro? Does the audio only go through HDMI, meaning I have to put away my speakers and connect my headphone to my screen? Or am I seeing that wrong?
Just got this - what a nice change for my gaming and other video work ;>) Great video - thanks!
good vid mate!
Liked and subbed (Fellow Aussie) Ty for this video, I'm glad I watched the whole thing before asking a question as you answered many of them as I am looking to and new too streaming. Not sure I fully understand yet how to use it for PC steam as I use xsplit atm but am having alot of difficulties getting good resolution out of it.
You're a deadset legend! Thanks heaps! Keep it up mate.
thank you for the extensive review!
Quick question please: Does it have the option to record game audio from line-in from another sound card? Rather than HDMI audio?
another great video sir!
I use an Elgato HD dongle, and it's a real shame that the HD60 and 60pro have stripped features that I NEED. I record and stream from over 23 different consoles, so I need to be able to use the component/composite dongle that comes with the HD, that doesn't seem to work for the HD60 or 60Pro. It's extremely limiting, since I can't record at 1080p60 with my device.
+N64xKING A workaround would be to simply use an external device to convert your old Component/composite stuff to HDMI for the HD60 Pro.
Well now I feel a bit silly. That solution was way too obvious.
+N64xKING I was in the same boat as you, but because I already own the original HD I was already planning on doing the same. In theory it should all work out fine using the passthrough function. Composite into dongle into HD, into HD60 Pro, out to TV (or play directly on computer screen). That way you can still utilize the old hardware instead of buying something new to get this to work.
This video helped a lot thanks 👍🏻
I'm going to be starting my own twitch channel as well as game reviews so Def in the market for a game capture card. what sort of spec pc would you suggest to get the best out of this card??
I'd recommend looking at Elgato's website for that
Very well put together video
Would you say this is worth pawning my old external HD60 to get this? And are the file sizes smaller then what the HD60 is for 20 minute recording sessions for Let's Plays? Or should I just keep my HD60 and download their new software?
+stonzy87 Depends... functionally (at least with the new software) the HD60 and HD60 PRO are almost identical... one of the differentiation points is the instant game view though... which, at least for me, means the PRO is the better choice. If you already own the HD60 external unit tough, tougher decision.
+Blunty Are the file sizes around the same as Nvidia ShadowPlay recording? Or around the same? My issue with the external HD60 is the file sizes it made on the older software were so large they crashed Camtasia half the time, making them a nightmare to edit for RUclips.
stonzy87 File size varies on your resolution, frame-rate, and bitrate and compression method settings... I don't "test" for that, because there's too much variability for me to answer that in any satisfactory sense.
I can use the Nvidia Share recording set at up to 130mbs for example, creating massive files, or I can use 20mbs for smaller ones... and depending on how well the actual content compresses the file sizes will still vary with the same bitrates.
+Blunty okay, well thanks for the help anyway. Definitely going to have a think about getting rid of my HD60 for the Pro or not. Thanks for making the video. I don't keep up to date on stuff like this. So your reviews are not only good to watch, fun and helpful, but they also make me aware of these products. Which is handy for minority of people not in the know like me. Keep up the great content Blunty :).
Auran Crash Wait, what? Are you complaining about Blunty making the video? Or saying thanks for making the video and giving you a second opinion on the Capture Card?
OK that will be mine you convinced me!
is it for laptop as well?
Great Vid!
No stickers, Blunty?
tons of artifacting... or maybe I'm dumb and it's from RUclips compression
+pocket1985 It's youtube. Notice the macroblocking on the camera shots too. the ACTUAL files are SUPER clean.
noice
no backplate BOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
