To access the SD Card, remove it from the Elgato Game Capture 4K60 S+ and then use a SD Card reader attached to your computer to access the files. To maintain a 120Hz output from PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S, the entire video signal chain and connected devices, such as the TV/Monitor and capture card need to be able to support 120Hz. EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a small configuration file that is stored on devices that take in video signals such as TVs, monitors, and capture cards.

The Elgato 4K60S+ has a couple of standout features, including its own hardware encoder and built in SD card slot. If you're someone who frequently travels or just needs to be able to capture footage without needing your PC handy, then this is absolutely the box to get. Latency is another of this card’s weak points. It’s trying to push 4K 60 FPS through a USB 3.0 connection. The result is a heavily delayed image coming to your preview window. The passthrough is lagless, so it doesn’t affect your gaming experience. This still negatively affects content creators since the gameplay will be desynced from other media sources like microphones or webcams. I didn’t do systematic testing, but it felt like an entire half second of delay. (Elgato says it’s about 250 ms) To mitigate this, you have to add render delay filters to you mic and webcam in OBS. How much delay exactly? Trial and error till it sounds about right. Yep… it’s as bad as it sounds. If you insert an unformatted card, the status LED on Elgato Game Capture 4K60 S+ will blink the general error code. If you use FAT32. then your larger recordings will automatically be broken down into multiple 4GB segments.

Elgato 4K60S+ review: This capture device is a content

Is this a niche appeal? Almost certainly, but without products like this to fill such a niche we'd be worse off. These recommendations may help when Elgato Game Capture 4K60 S+ is used and there is no signal or USB related errors. Recommended for : Typical console capture setup where a TV or monitor is connected to the capture card HDMI output. at 120Hz requires HDMI 2.1 due to the extreme bandwidth required. At this time there are no Elgato capture device that support HDMI 2.1. More on Elgato and HDMI 2.1 information can be found here.

If your cards are not pre-formatted, you can format them using a computer or many cameras. Elgato Game Capture 4K60 S+ cannot format cards. If you have a Xbox Series X/S plugged into 4K60 Pro and are using a 120Hz monitor, you will be able to play and capture at either 1080p 120Hz or 1440p 120Hz, depending on which resolution your monitor supports. The EDID file contains information about the type of signal the device (TV/Monitor) can accept, such as resolution, frame rate, HDR format, bit depth, audio, (Stereo, multi-channel), and much more. Whencapturing a 120Hz signal, recording frame rate in the 4K Capture Utility will be 60fps. The 120Hz signal will be converted to 60fps during recording. In contrast with these issues, the 4K60 S+ does have two things going for it. First, the footage recorded in OBS was pixelation and corruption free. Then again, the problem with that is you can no longer record in HDR since OBS does not currently support HDR as of this writing. Even so, this shows there’s issues with Elgato’s 4K Capture Utility which means it can potentially be fixed in an update. Though, they’ve been saying they’ll fix it since the device launched.
