Product Information

Even beyond behind closed door sessions, the possibilities for an external capture card that records right onto an SD card at 4K are endless. To use the Chat Link with the Elgato Game Capture HD60 S+, you will need to open 4K Capture Utility. Go to Settings, then the Device tab. From here go to the Audio Input selection and change it from HDMI Audio to Analog Audio. Full and Partial refer to how expanded the range is. Having this incorrectly set could cause your video to appear overly contrasted or faded. If you’re capturing video from a PC, this may need to be set to Full. If you’re capturing from a console, generally Default or Partial is recommended.
