Elgato - 4K Pro – 8K60 Passthrough/4K60 Capture for PC, Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X with HDMI 2.1, VRR, HDR10 - Black

Ive bought this PCLE as I have a pretty good PC build and I hate having wires all over the place. I also started playing the PS5 a bit more so I wanted to be able to capture at the best quality and also stream easily from the PC. This PCLE made everything so easy Plug and play 4 minute install for everything, You will have to download the software for the Elgato and let it update some stuff do a restart and youre good to go. One thing I will note if you run into the issue of not hearing your audio from the PS5 to your headphones / speakers that you made an output for all you simply need to do is unplug the PS5 HDMI and plug back in. Unfortunately, PS5 and Audio settings with the whole layout is dumb but what can we do. 10/10 product but keep in mind if you want to have a nice Professional setup to be able to speak to people on the PS5 Game chat / PS5 Party chat - Stream you will need to get the Elgato Wave Pro XLR + and XLR Mic. My investment went from this to buying a complete Elgato stream setup costing 1.2k but its worth the money. The Stream Deck XL is super cool as well I was like what is the point of paying that much just to click buttons but once you start using it and seeing how customizable everything is.

Elgato's confusing naming made it difficult to figure out that this is a brand new product. The 4K60 MK2 is the previous model. This one doesn't include a low profile bracket and seems to have quality control issues. Passthrough doesn't work on mine and others have reporteded the same issue. I tried multiple HDMI cables. So I'm returning it for a defect. The Elgato 4K Capture Utility is clunky and it's strange that this "capture" program is how you change settings. They should improve the UI and add descriptions of what the different settings do. It's missing one feature that I was hoping to get, but isn't listed in any specs. It doesn't support 24 bit audio, only 16 bit audio. It DOES support both 48khz and 44.1khz audio but I only tried 48khz which is the standard for video. I couldn't get 4k and higher refresh rates to work with the included HDMI cable and an Alienware M16R2 laptop. Only 4k 60Hz showed up with the virtual monitor presented by this device with internal EDID settings. It may work if you plug in a higher Hz monitor to the output port, but passthrough didn't work for me so I couldn't try it.

Been using elevators since the original elgato, had the Og elgato, hd60s , hd60 pro and now 4k pro. The best capture cards easy to install and software is super easy to use. I use this for my dual pc streaming setup and the passthrough is instant and seamless. Audio easy to get working on 2 pc setup also you can’t go wrong with this card

Plays my PS5 & Xbox Series X at the highest quality with all the HDR, VRR and ALLM features with no lag. Paired with OBS studio I can live stream In full 4K 60fps on YouTube. Looks Incredible!

Excellent PCIE Capture card, my personal recommendation for anyone in the market. Fluid recording, 8k passthrough, and an easy and intuitive setup experience.
