Would this work with a Dual PC setup as well? I am having a HARD time playing 4K 120FPS and capturing it on the 4K60PRO MKII on my stream PC
Did you manage to get this to work I can only get 1440p 120hz not 4k
@@DeanThaSmurf @MERPTV This definitely worked for me! I was able to pick up this device on ebay for like $50. Everything works as if I didn't have the capture card plugged in. I was getting annoyed when my setup would switch off the HDR.
Wow great vid! Just what I’m looking for! If you have more things running through your receiver, would this still work where instead of the tv it would go into the receiver, and additional splitters for over 2 devices going through the receiver?
Sure thing! Glad I could help. That’s a great question and TBH… I don’t know. I would think that it would work with the receiver. I would think the only potential decreases in power or bandwidth from using multiple splitters if the splitters don’t allow you to direct the path of the signal. I’m sure others are in the same position as you. So, if you do test this out, would love to hear how it works out and maybe we can help somebody else in the process.
This video was very helpful. Thank you so much for posting it. I will definitely be getting this splitter. I am also using a Mac mini M1 with Elgato HD 60 X
Solid! Let me know if you have other questions. Learning more daily w my setup as there aren't many running our setup.
Great video! Thanks for the helpful info!
Glad it was helpful!
One question I have is do you still have to use the Elgato chat link to get chat sound? Or will this eliminate that problem? I have the Elgato HD60x
Really great question! Game sound comes through the HDMI connection. However, to get party/lobby chat to your stream while still being able to communicate to party chat through your mic, you will need a chat link or similar set up. I'm currently experimenting in how to set up some alternatives that would allow me to use my stream mic for both game & stream chat. I'll definitely post when I have a good update on this.
Hey man I appreciate you making this video I don't see enough people talking about this. I want to get this set up but it would be a shame to give up VRR. I saw that Elgato had a firmware update to allow VRR, FreeSync and G-Sync if you use thier 4K Capture Utility software. Have you had any luck with this or does this not work with your solution?
Thanks! Much appreciated. Yea I wasn’t finding much on it Al myself so thought I would try to help those like me. I’m still running w VRR off w the same setup, but I saw avermedia came out w a capture card that will do this all, and I think VRR is supported (check their details). This might be the solution you need. Hope this helps!
Massively helpful as I’m just using the crappy PS5 webcam and streaming direct off of that as well. I’d really like to get a more put together setup and this setup seems relatively easy to accomplish; good go to gaming snack is flaming hot dill pickle lay’s.
Glad I could help! Yea, the setup will come in time as you figure out your needs/flow. But yea this will give you a solid base w the upside potential w addons. Thanks for the recco too!
Thanks very much for sharing, this very interesting and informative as I still want to enjoy my games at 120 in 4K, and that's what's been putting me off. Also I've been wanting to add music to certain streams with Spotify etc and a capture card is the only way. I am aware of licence agreements so I'm also looking into that. Thanks again for the great content ✌️
Glad to help! Sounds like you’re on the right path. Enjoy streaming! What’s your channel so I can check you out?
hey great video!@@lbs
@@poppa_smoke_DMZ appreciate the positive words!
Thanks for this video! I was doing a similar setup to "Solution 2," the past few years. However, I recently updated to a newer monitor with HDMI 2.1 ports, and now get 4K 120Hz, so my old HD60S & HDMI splitter were only allowing 4K 60Hz passthrough. I'm glad I came across this vid, looks like I need to just upgrade to the HD60X and get an HDMI 2.1 splitter now ✓🙏🏾
PS. Thanks for the switch info too, I have a PS5 and XSX also, so it's good to know I can have everything hooked up at once. Never thought of that 😉
Glad I could help. Definitely nice when it is all set up. Also, they just announced a HDMI 2.1 capture card w avermedia. Not sure of how well it works, but thought I would let you know, in case it saves you some parts and $$.
@@lbsthank you for the info! I actually already bought everything about 4 weeks ago, I haven’t had a chance to set it up yet since I moved. But I will be this weekend.
@arielledancer656 would love to know how it goes!
@@lbs I’ll let you know 🤞🏾
@@lbs update: the splitter I bought didn’t seem to work, it only allowed 1080p 60 fps passthrough. I think the one you had in your vid was unavailable at the time. I’ll check Amazon again for one that actually works lol. But I do like the switcher I bought it’s nice not having to plug two separate HDMI cables into my monitor. Especially since my Xbox one wouldn’t be able to reach.
Thank you really 👍
Thank you! Happy streaming my friend
Do you notice a performance difference if you drop the splitter and just plug in whatever console you’re using to the cap card? More wires usually mean more latency
Thought the same! However, performance remained on par for me. Think this is because even though it's on a splitter, only one port can be active at a time. So likely all related resources will be dedicated to the active port. This is just my thoughts on how the tech actually works, but like I said performance hasn't been hindered for me
@@lbs nice, thanks!
Just a heads up you can choose where you want to stream to on the Xbox Series X/S, they now have Twitch, Streamlabs and Lightstream...but I'm limited to my monitor which is maxxed out at 1440p120hz, Streaming works but I noticed that connection stability can be an issue when reviewing the streams after...still would be good to have a capture card that can do 1440p120hz...
Can I use cabledeconn (like the one in the video at 7:35) instead of avstar because it's too expensive?
Nope. They are different as the cabledeconn will allow you to switch between the active console & the AVStar is actively converting signals, allowing you to see 4k 120hz, while downgrading to 1080 for acceptance in your capture card/stream.
Were did you get that black pather helmet accessory for your xbox?
Heyo! It is actually a start button cover (as if I was in Fast & Furious w/ NOS). This is the one I have: amzn.to/447bsym
Hey brother! Great video! Very knowledgeable and I can actually understand what’s happening lol! I definitely want to use this setup but it seems that the HDMI splitter is out of stock. Do you have an alternative by chance? I looked up this topic a while back and found the OREI splitter. Wasn’t sure if you knew about this and if it was good or not.
I also see the ezcoo one but the reviews are very divided. I see the one that’s just like the AVstar but there’s also a smaller cheeper one. I wasn’t sure if they worked the same or not.
I appreciate it! Glad I could help. I haven’t tried another but I have heard or similar splitters. However, now elgato & avermedia have actually come out with card that do this for us. Have you looked into those as well? Or is this setup better for you?
@@lbs I’ll check them out. I’m just looking for the cheapest options lol. Thank you!
@@lbslol I keep tryna comment and linking the one I’m going to use but it keeps deleting my comment. Either way it’s the cheaper and smaller ezcoo one. Found some videos where people were using them. Thank you again for the vid and the response!
@tdudethetrain solid! Yes links are disabled due to bad actors. Glad you were able to get what you need. I’ll look to add links for alternatives as this one is sold out often.
Hey Bro, nice Video! Can I Stream 120Hz on Twitch with that splitter? I have a Razor Ripsaw HD it goes for 4K but 60 hz.
Thanks bro! Great question! I could only assume you could still do it through OBS w/ fractional integers, but I haven't tried it myself. Also, I haven't tried this w/ the Ripsaw HD, but it seems like it would function just as the HD60X. I would love to know if you try it out and it works. 🤞🏾
Twitch does not allow stream above 60 fps anyway
@@Goml3 The goal is for higher fps on twitch the goal is so you're not losing fps on your own screen because no capture card has passthrough 4k 120. The best I have done is 1440(2K) 144hz passthrough
@@StormHydraugr i know. the question above states "can i stream 120Hz on twitch" and the awnswer is no you cant
i checked the amazon link to the hdmi splitter, and its currently unavailable. im more than happy to wait but sadly amazon doesnt display the price of items not available. can i ask what price you brought it for? looking to test this with my elgato HD60s and am exited to report back to see if it works!! great video btw
Sure thing! The AVstar was $150. It looked to be a duplicate of the EZcoo but for US. maybe check to see if the EZcoo is now available in the US and that could suffice. Looking forward to hearing back. Wishing the best!
@@lbs im actually from the uk so im pretty ok for grabbing anything that has the same effect as the link you put in the description. but if you could point me in the direction of other products that do the same thing and are the same quality i would very much appreciate it. i dont wanna buy something and it turn out to be something that doesn't do the same thing as what you recommended!
That's the only 1 I've used, but these were to oy 2 I saw at the time. W that, there might be others on the market that are a 1x2 splitter for a 2.1 HDMI. I would do that search on Amazon and see if anything else pops up w good reviews in your location...if either of these aren't available.
can you replace the avstar splitter with any hdmi splitter? with the right specs?
Can guarantee but definitely make sure it has the same specs w conversions and out/ins
Late to the party here.. can I still use all streaming software for this setup?
Not sure what software you’re using but I’ve had 0 issues with everything I use. There should be no issues though as your stilll sending the max signals/resolutions/etc allowed for the streaming platforms
Can you share me link from your Start engin button ?
What link are you referring to?
How can you record party audio with the second solution?
Great question! I found a couple ways to bring in party chat for your stream. I’ll probably end up making a video on this to give more detail. However, one of the easiest ways to bring your chat into stream while still communicating with your game and stream chat is going to be getting a chat link cable (Elgato sells them) and setting it up that way. I'm experimenting w and alternative method but I'll share a vid on this when I dial it in.
When do you think capture cards will do 4k/120 fps pass through?
Great question! I honestly thought they would’ve had them by now. But I really don’t know. With my found solution, it doesn’t seem to be so hard.
Do i need the avstar Splitter to get a picture on my Monitor or is it just for the stream zhat it has 4k 120hz
I have the same question
Did you find an answer ?
Sorry I missed this! Think I'm following your question, so correct me if needed. The splitter allows you to continue playing and 4K 120 Hz on your monitor, while your stream is maxed out at the streaming platform's settings you set (I.e. your audience viewing in 1080 60hz)
Would this still work if it was just 1 console but 2 monitors 1 for console and 1 for the computer?
And does it work with the hd60s+?
Yep. Do you sounds similar to my setup.
Haven't tested the hd60s but would assume yes since our converting the input signal before it hits the card
Do you have alternatives for the AVStar splitter? Its hard to find.
Not seeing a ton of alternatived now but found this one (haven't experienced personally but has solid reviews) amzn.to/3rNwhB6
Welp, when I get my set up going, I'll be testing this with the EVGA XR1 Pro. We shall see. Thanks.
I'm still not sure if this can record at 4k 60 while letting you play at 4k 120? This is for the ps5 solution.
Have you tried and seen issues on your end? I haven’t experienced this on my end but will try for PS5 and see what happens. Also, elgato now has cards to allow us to do this all natively if that’s an option for you.
realistically this should work with any 4k capture card correct?
Realistically it should. It’s really the switcher doing the needed conversion for us.
Is it specific to this splitter? Can I use the blackbird splitter
It is not specific to this splitter. You mainly need a HDMI 2.1 1x2 splitter that can downscale to 1080p. If Blackbird has one that can do that, you are probably golden. But if you're starting this setup from scratch, you might find it easier to get a 2.1 graphics card (Avermedia just came out with one). Hope this helps!
If i get a 60hz capture card for my xbox, can i still play at 1080p 120hz but stream at 60hz?
Very likely. Check the specs first though
A Suggestion please make your videos a bit faster paced and more to the point the 2m33s intro could have been about 10 seconds
Appreciate the feedback. Also why add a timeline. Allowing you to skip to exactly what you want to know most.
ye i get that bro but i sometimes watch videos on my tv and its hard to skip to that part@@lbs
Bruh, RUclips don’t pay for short clips. Some videos have to be long to get that bag
So I have a hdmi splitter and an other card connected to my monitor ps5 and laptop and I only get 60 fps on my games how do I fix this?
What hdmi splitter and hdmi cables do you have connected? Everything I recommended?
@@lbsI think it’s because of my capture card I have a different one
Cadbury Mini-Eggs!!!!
I ordered the recommended Avstar switcher and they sent me the wrong one!! China is a long wait for delivery smdh-
Oh man. That’s frustrating. Thought they would still have them via prime. Hope your replacement is faster.
Ok so i would be doing solution 3 with the 2 consoles but i have 2 screens. Where would i connect the 2nd screen to??
You have 2 screens connected to your console? I'm not sure of your set up. However, I have 2 monitors, but have my consoles connected to 1, as I only play on the 1 monitor. So nothing changes for how my monitor is connected to my consoles, other than w/ the splitter setup I shared.
@@lbs sorry this will be my first time owning a pc so idk what I'm really doing loll.
@@lbs Loll my bad. Ok so I'll be having 2 screens (one monitor and one tv both can do 2k 12hz). I want to use them both as a extended screen for my pc(having the tv be the 2nd screen). I also have 2 console the ps5 and xsx which I want to run thru the capture card and have it connected to the tv also
@@Plumjuicegaming Ahh ok. Think I'm following better. Your set up sounds similar to mine. I have 2 monitors connected to my mac (extended desktop use), then I have the 1 monitor I want to play my consoles on connected to my consoles in they way I laid out for option 3. So you'll still be able to use the 2 monitors as extended desktops when using your PC. And when playing a console, 1 screen will still support your PC (can browse, run/view OBS, etc.).
@LB forsure man thank you for that.
hi i have this set up with my ps5 but when i open a game thats 120hz my OBS screen goes black but fine on the ps5 home screen, any help please?
Try turning VRR off on your PS5.
@@lbs I have done that also mate the obs works fine until you load Fortnite up which changes to 120hz
Man. Sounds like it’s something with resolutions matching up between all. Might be setting in PS5. I recall this happening to me but turning off VRR worked. You try messing with some of the resolution settings on all fronts to make sure they match…even at lower fps?
so it works perfectly fine running at 60hz but as soon as the game changes to 120hz the screen on obs goes black, i have a different capture card to the algeto so maybe that is the issue @@lbs
@Tattooed_Reflex definitely sounds like an fps matching issue. what capture card you have? Also did you set up w the same switch and splitter as I did in the vid? Also, are you connected w all hdmi 2.1 cables?
Can you help me out. Im getting a signal interference. I got everything you listed, and I have allow variable refresh rate taken off. But when I play mw2 on xbox series x, it'll sometimes lose signal or have some interference. When Im on the Home Screen it's ok. Maybe it needs a firmware update but I have no idea where to find it
That is the exact thing that was happening to me before I turn off the VRR. So I'm not sure exactly what it might be for you, but I would start with checking that have all HDMI 2.1 cables (a 2.0 cable might be cause of some issues), if switcher settings are correct (out2 is toggled to 1080P & EDID to copy), try turning off allow YCC 4:2:2 (located where you turn off VRR), & check to see if it's doing the same other games. Hope this helps!
So this splitter will allow me to play at 4k 120hz and while capture card stream will run at 1080p 60hz
Yep.
@LB awesome thank you man🙏
So with this setup I can record the games im playing on my xbox series x at 4K 120fps without any performance drops?
No. This allows you to continue playing in 4k 120hz while you capture device allows you to capture at the max output settings of the capture device.
@lbs right, I guess thats what I was trying to say haha. I play cod in 4k 120 but my xbox can only record in 1080p up to 60 seconds and I have to initiate that recording everytime which stopping to do that mid-play in a multiplayer match is annoying and ruins the flow. Also the upload quality for YT Shorts is awful. I am looking for a way to increase the picture quality of my shorts while simultaneously not having to constant start the recording when im going off haha.
So to summarize, this will give me higher quality shorts then correct?
@HcKingPin ahhh. Got it. So on Xbox you can clip in 4k. You just need to update the settings. If you just want to record your gameplay and sort through for the clips later, then something like OBS w/ a 4k 60hz capable capture card will allow you to capture high quality videos on your comp for content. Just would recommend record to your comp vs streaming and utilizing vods for the content. Depending the specs of your comp, recording to the comp is the best way to keep highest quality.
@lbs you are correct. The only draw back to that route is the xbox can only record 30 second clips in 4K
With having to stop after a few gunfights to clip 30 seconds is tough and often I dont get the entirety of the content in that 30 second clip. I am looking to have a setup that just records everything I do in 4K/120 then after my session I can go back and clip out the parts I want to make into shorts. This way I wont have to stop my flow mid match to start a 30 second recording, or have to worry about missing parts of a good gameplay.
@HcKingPin yea I know what you mean w/ the clip length. The OBS + capture card route would be best for you. Just get a sizable SSD for storing your clips.
whats a cheap card that can run 120? idc about 1080
You want to be able to play at 120hz or stream at it? What resolution you want?
@@lbs i wana play at 120. Any resolution
What id we see that issue on ps5?
Not sure what you’re asking.
@@lbswhat if we see the no signal issue on PS5, know of any fix?
@amiribrahim30 Ahh...yea, it is likely the VRR issue there as well. Try turning that off and see if that helps.
@@AmirAI6 Ahh...yea, it is likely the VRR issue there as well. Try turning that off and see if that helps.
Honestly i think i just bought a bad splitter. It says “ 2 displays can not be displayed at once.” Does this mean i got the wrong splitter?
Combos
Wow!! Just accidentally got some of those in my Amazon order. Will be trying them soon!
Well neither PS5 or XSX are playing any games at 4K 120 fps in fact PS5 and XSX barely ever even hit 4K 60 fps so what's the point
I'm playing COD in 4k 120fps. Maybe it's just your set of games you play.
@@lbs No you aren't it drops as low as 1080P to keep that frame rate and even then it's not a locked 120 you will pretty much never if at all be at that 4K 120 mark on console
@@AzaiaMonota I hear you, but that isn't my experience. It's very obvious when I'm playing at 1080 vs 4k on my 4k monitor. I have seen FPS fluctuations in games like Spider man on PS5, but not the case in my COD experience. All in all, if I were see a slightly better experience of 1080p & 60fps, I rather be able to play at my max allowable quality vs being capped at a ceiling below. I assume others would too, but I understand we all have our preferences.
@@lbssame here I’m playing cod on 4k120hz but when I do stream cause the elegato don’t support hdmi 2.1 it drops it to 1440p120hz
Your monitor is likely the issue. Or the HDMI cables. You have to upgrade
If the result looks like your video, this is surely garbqge.
Good luck finding what’s good for you.
