No answer about my delay too 😦

worldly sigil
#

See Bahamut's response

#

and didn't Crest ask you previously to file a ticket @high python if you were able to verify the delay?

high python
#

I was saying 1 second, but it was less than that, so i just want to know if the delay i have now is normal or not.

worldly sigil
#

Given he was saying it is meant to be 100ms it didn't look normal so...

high python
#

100ms is about 2-3 frames, i think i have more than this so..

#

that's what I was noticing too

Could someone send me windows 10 64 bit drivers for the HD60 s? For some reason they aren't installing automatically when I plug it in, and I cant find the drivers anywhere online

#

Thanks, but I need the actual drivers if anyone has them. I'm getting "no capture devices found" in Game Capture HD, and my device manager shows the HD60S as missing its drivers

#

I would recommend filing a ticket for those, I'm not sure where to locate them myself, sorry.

Hey guys I am still having trouble with my sound coming from my capture card being choppy. I get perfect audio from my mic directly plugged into the computer. I have messed with the sound setting disabling unneeded sources, making sure my HZ was good.

Does anyone have any other options?

I am running it through PS4.

#

I don’t have the elgato yet but i am gonna get it does anyone know how to use it and does a Bluetooth headsets work if you stream on ps4?

cunning latch
#

@south bronze If you connect a headset to the PS4, audio is sent to the headset and not output to the capture card. So unless the headset has some wired option that you can use with a splitter. You wouldn't be able to capture audio.

There are some unique exceptions, but that is generally the way it goes with PS4: https://help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028243811-How-to-Record-PlayStation-4-PS4-Audio-When-Using-Headsets

Having a frustrating issue (8 hours into trying to get it figured out)

Dual PC Setup - HD60 Pro

My Elgato Sound Capture software is on the Gaming PC...

Sound is not outputted to the software even though the default device is ELgato Sound Capture...

This problem makes it impossible to split the sound to a set of headphones and the capture card itself

Hey guys, I just took my HD60 Pro out of my pc, and plugged in the 4K60 Pro into the PCIe slot. When i open OBS/StreamLabs OBS/4K Capture Utility (one at a time), i'm getting a black screen. I'm receiving the audio, and the PS4 is passing through, i just can't seem to get the feed to show up on any of my stream programs.

Anyone have a potential fix for the 15 key stream deck only showing the main logo? i've tried different ports, rebooting the pc, and even uninstalling and downloading the stream deck app again. Nothing seems to work.

#

Also the app on my screen shows my customized layout, it's just not relaying to the device.

Does amd work for elgato

Because I’m building a pc

woeful latch
#

What elgato are you talking about @south bronze

bold ivy
#

@pulsar flume yes, hdcp is turned off. the card is capturing audio, and the ps4 is passing through the card with no problems. there just isn't a video feed on the software. i just bought new hdmi cables to see if it was the cables. it wasn't. i reseated the card, still didn't work. even power cycled my pc.

#

@south bronze Any new Elgato product will work with a Ryzen system. Only exception was the HD60 Pro, but that was an issue two years ago. It's resolved now with updated firmware.

#

Throughout the day, my StreamDeck will just crash. My screens flicker for a 1/2 second and then invariably the deck goes back to the Elgato logo.... I have to close the software and reopen it. This can last 5 mins or 5 hours. The ONLY commonality is:

That's odd. My PC is managed via a RMM (I work for one :P), completely up to date on patching and has been stripped back from security software and it still occurs

I’m ordering intel core i5 without

Graphics card what does that mean

some of the 9th gen intels dropped the intergrated graphics i believe. So if the cpu doesnt have intergrated you will need a dedicated graphics card.

Hi! I'm interested in purchasing a Elgato capture card and have a few questions. Firstly, I have a triple monitor display but only game on one of my monitors which is a 1440p 144hz g-sync monitor. Now I'm wanting to stream using Streamlabs OBS and utilize my 2019 Macbook Pro 13in as a streaming PC with this capture card. Will this be possible to do without losing any of my monitor features such as the refresh rate, resolutions, and g-sync?

I intend to have my stream settings at 1080p 60fps, but still want to game on my desktop at 1440p 144hz with g-sync. Will I run into any issues if I purchase a HD 60 s+?

Don't ask if you can ask for help, just ask your question

frail ingot
#

I set up a multi action to end my stream and for whatever reason when I tested it last night I just got an exclamation triangle

#

The action is to switch to my end scene wait 5 minutes then stop stream

worldly sigil

Did other scene actions work (not part of the multi action)?

frail ingot
#

Yea

#

It's the only thing that didn't work

worldly sigil
#

Strange. I'm not sure.

Is it working today?

#

hey people justr thought id share my problem and resolution just in case it can help someone else.

#

was having an issue with my cam links freezing while in OBS. I tried many different solutions including rez settings on camera and in OBS. Nothing was working. Was working through solutions with Elgato support and one of their suggestions was to change the power plan on the computer from power saving to performance. which made me explore in the device manager where i found the "Universal Serial Bus Port" drop down tab which has all your USB 3.0 Ports in it. right click on the ports your using then go to the power management tab and UNCHECK the box which says " allow computer to power off device to save power. This instantly fixed my issue hope it helps someone else.

unique fox
#

I hope I'm in the right section. I just bought a stream deck and the light on the device is working, I can see the logo. But when I change my profile on the app it doesn't show on my device. What can I do ? Do I have to return it?

#

it says device not found

#

forget it guys, I was able to fix it. But just in case if anyone else has the same problem just use a different UBS port. Use 2.0 instead of 3.1. Apparently at least in my case, the stream-deck it is not recognized by windows if it is connected on a 3.1 USB port. And if that comes in the instructions ... well my bad.
Thanks though

worldly sigil
#

Yeah I can't use a USB 2 port for mine. The StreamDeck XL requires the power provided by 3.0 though 3.1 is still janky

Hello. I'm currently using 2 elgato capture cards, one of which is my Elgato HD 60 S. This is used to capture my camera over HDMI. How do I stop this hdmi input from feeding the audio to SLOBS?

worldly sigil
#

Is there an audio mixer in SLOBS? There may also be an option in the source settings to not capture audio from that source.

#

I aren't 100% sure though as I use OBS Studio over SLOBS. And more recently I've moved back to XSplit.

south bronze
#

i wanna screenshare elgato to discord, recording both video and audio

#

but for some reason it only connects video, you cant hear anything

frail ingot
#

Is there a reason why the streamdeck buttons reset when OBS isnt open?

frail ingot
#

Is there a way to make a button to activate the interact feature on OBS?

lean finch
#

every time i activate my regular HD60 it changes my color into this weird green color scheme and the audio from the headphones plugged into it dont output any audio

#

this monitor has worked fine with the elgato in the past, including the monitor. None of the settings have been changed

#

it also does this with the game capture

hey i dug up my old elgato hd capture and i was trying to find a way to see my xbox screen on pc, so i downloaded the elgato software and theres one huuuggee delay, no way to fix that?

Hello all maybe you can help. i have a hd60s cap card and its all plugged in and everything works. as soon as i put my head set into the ps4 or the pad the audio dont capture any more

that about sums up the issue, any ideas?

Hi, I have an HD60 Pro. Is there a way to use the Discord Go Live feature with the video capture? It usually just shows up as a black screen when I try to stream my switch

sick moon
#

Hello, I need some help

#

I'm resetting my pc very soon and I've transferred most of my d drive into dropbox/flashdrive

#

I have the streamdeck folder backed up

#

When I reinstall it, will my settings stay intact?

#

once I copy it and paste it into my pc?

high python
#

If your Dropbox folder is in the exact same place than before (Like D:/Dropbox), it should relink by itself.

#

Don't forget to save you Profile.

sick moon
#

@high python Yeah I have appdata saved in my flashdrive, not my dropbox bc it was too much space

#

It's not linked, I only copied and pasted

high python
#

I mean for all the icon/file opened by button of the streamdeck (like soundboard)
If it's not on the same Path, it's not gonna relink by itself.
But for the profile, i think it shoud be fine.

sick moon
#

It'll be in the same drive as it was before.

worldly sigil
#

Yes, you do need to do the input @wet ivy as how else can the capture card know what to capture?

wet ivy
#

alright but the output yes or no? @worldly sigil

worldly sigil
#

Output will take it to the monitor as a passthrough so not required

wet ivy
#

sounds good thanks & the input goes from monitor to the capture card?

worldly sigil
#

From console to capture card.

#

Output is from capture card to monitor.

wet ivy
#

k ty

#

also @worldly sigil do i leave one hdmi going from monitor to graphics card then another from monitor to capture card im rlly confused

worldly sigil
#

Are you trying to stream on a 2 PC setup or from console to PC?

wet ivy
#

just one pc

#

thats all

worldly sigil
#

Then you can't use a capture card.

#

If you had a console or a second PC you could but it doesn't work for 1 PC setups (without any consoles)

wet ivy
#

the built in one the hd60 pro

worldly sigil
#

See above point. It won't work.

#

Because if I'm understanding you correctly. You're wanting to connect the HDMI from the graphics card to the capture card that's on the same PC

wet ivy
#

so there is no way to use the capture card then? its the hd60 pro so i think its supposed to work

worldly sigil
#

Yes, it works if you're using it to either connect a console to a PC, or a PC to a different PC. It does not work connecting it to itself.

wet ivy
#

ok

worldly sigil
#

If you're worried about your PC being overworked encoding, look into Intel QuickSync, AMD VCE, or more preferably Nvidia NVENC.

wet ivy
#

i have nvenc

#

but still streams lag when playing fortnite

worldly sigil
#

It used a dedicated encoding chip on your graphics card. Encode your streams using that instead.

wet ivy
#

yea i do use it

worldly sigil
#

A capture card won't fix your issues then I'm afraid.

#

What are your PC specs? Specifically your CPU, RAM, GPU, and upload speed.

#

For reference, here are my specs:
i7-3770K, 16GB RAM (I believe at 1333MHz), Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080, and just under 20mbps

wet ivy
#

intel i7-8700 nvidia 1070 8gb ram upload 11.3

#

and then i stream at 3000 bitrate and 720p res

worldly sigil
#

Ok, so perhaps your RAM is your issue then.

#

30fps or 60fps streaming?

wet ivy
#

60

worldly sigil
#

Try 30fps. 3000 bitrate for 60fps isn't very good at 720p

wet ivy
#

ok

worldly sigil
#

For reference, when I stream at 720p60fps, I'll be streaming at like 8k bitrate

#

So 8000kbps

wet ivy
#

oh ok

#

so i should do 3k bitrate 720p and 30fps?

worldly sigil
#

Yeah, that should also help the blurring.

#

Also do you stream to Mixer?

wet ivy
#

twitch

worldly sigil
#

Ah ok, so I can rule out that issue then.

#

Mixer has a problem on FTL where there is frequent microstutter

wet ivy
#

ok

#

oh also what should my downscale filter be rn its lancozos 32

worldly sigil
#

Erm, in what? SLOBS?

#

I'm not at my PC ATM so I can't see what I used in OBS Studio

wet ivy
#

like its video settings called downscale filter in streamlabs

#

its alwasy been a thing i think

worldly sigil
#

I'm not at my PC so I don't know what I use.

wet ivy
#

ok

I've set alt + numpad * as my record key for a 15 sec replay buffer. It works when i map it to my streamdeck as long as obs is NOT in focus.

Good evening. I haven't streamed in awhile and the last time that I did, I didn't have any issues with audio from the El Gato to OBS. However, now there is no audio coming through. When I run it in the El Gato Game Capture program, everything works fine. Is there an update for the El Gato? If so, how do I go about downloading it?
I have a HD60 S.

glossy ivy
#

@worldly sigil thanks man that was the issue

glad moat
#

Is tech help only for elgato related questions? Or could I ask about say an encoding/aspect ratio issue I’m having with my yt uploads?

worldly sigil
#

It seems to be for tech help in general.

glad moat
#

Ok. In that case...

worldly sigil
#

Just fair warning I only said it seems to be and I'm not 100% sure. That being said, if this is the wrong place for it, one of the moderators will let you know.

glad moat
#

I do a lot of screen recording on my iPads. Using iOS’ built in screen recorder... now when I record this way, the aspect ratio remains the same as what the iPad screen is. Which as we know, is closer to 4:3 than it is to 16:9.

#

And this is what i want to preserve.

#

But when i import this video in to an editor, and save it out from there, all of a sudden the video is converted to a 16:9 and black bars occur on the sides.

#

How do i do it so that i maintain the original aspect ratio and not make it so that i have black bars?

#

Ive struggled with this issue for a really long time.

#

Hope that made cents

worldly sigil
#

Check the resolution of the video editor. It's likely outputting to a 16:9 ratio. I know more professional video editors will let you choose different aspect ratios to keep it all neat and tidy.

#

Or rather, the output resolution/project resolution

glad moat
#

Yeah, that is what happens. They output to 16:9. In iMovie for iPad, there is no option to maintain that ratio. It defaults to 16:9

worldly sigil
#

Then that means you'll need a PC video editor most likely.

#

Unless there are ones on iOS that can do it.

glad moat
#

So the iPad as[etc ratio isn’t exactly 4:3. Close but not axactly. Are there editors that can maintain that original aspect ratio? Does premier pro do this?

#

Or do they round it out?

worldly sigil
#

I think Premiere Pro allows you to select the exact resolution you want.

#

Meaning you can make it whatever aspect ratio you want. (Including say 209:45 if you wanted to get crazy)

glad moat
#

Ok. I’ll take a look at it. Cuz this is what it looks like when they add bars on the sides:

smoky panther
#

@rare kraken I figured it out, uninstalled and redownloaded it and it worked

weary nymph
#

is there any difference between HD60S and HD60 pro if I wanna stream games from the Nintendo Switch?

#

Naw. You wouldn’t notice any difference.

digital herald
#

Why does the stream deck not work in streamlabs OBS after the new update?

cunning latch
#

@glad moat Looks like you may wanna crop that down to get rid of the black bars and make it larger.

#

@digital herald Sometimes Streamlabs updates will have some issues with StreamDeck integration, but we'd just suggest running a reinstall of the Stream Deck software ontop: http://e.lga.to/download

#

yo guys, is there any benefit or point in switching from my hd60 to a hd60 Pro for streaming console games?

#

I currently have the hd60 (not the S) and found a hd60 Pro that I could put into my PC to stream my xbox gameplay, but is

#

it worth it, quality wise? Will it use less power for my pc?

#

anything different or am I better off keeping the hd60?

worldly sigil
#

Less delay compared to the HD60 (not S/S+)

rare kraken
#

@light thorn I find if you're using a lot of other USB devices, switching to the HD60 Pro could help alleviate issues around USB BUS crowding (having too many devices using the same USB BUS).

worldly sigil
#

I'm tempted to get an internal one too

#

Replace one of my USB expansion slots with it

light thorn
#

I think the USB thing is the only benefit

#

I think I'll pass then tbh because I have plenty of USB slots unused

#

and can just buy a multi USB port if ever needed/fills up

#

I was hoping it would maybe make gameplay a lot more clearer

#

but doesn't seem to be the case

rare kraken
#

I mean, the delay/no latency thing is really one of the key factors.

#

but even the HD60 didn't have that bad of a delay (the original Game Capture HD had something like a 1450ms delay, so that was noticable when streaming)

#

So if you're using it for streaming and have a mic or camera, what comes via the mic or camera would happen 650ms before the gameplay

#

so if that's an important thing to you, I'd go with the HD60 Pro

worldly sigil
#

The delay is significant enough yeah to warrant upgrading

#

And I believe because of the extra bandwidth, the gameplay is clearer too

signal musk
#

Much like what was said the latency will be lower since HD60 Pro has instant gameview, and the video quality will be higher since the HD60 Pro sends raw video to the PC, whereas the HD60 always encodes the video beforehand.

Looks like we need to update that article for OBS Studio too

Hiya Friends! i am streaming with a elgato HD60S and also using a chat link cable, everything goes smooth until i plug my headset (PS4 turtle beach chat recon) and and my obs picks up the audio from game/party and i can hear it in my headset, but the people in my party cant hear my voice. any solutions?

So I'm now upgraded to a Duel PC's set-up and wondering if theres a way to take all my Stream Deck settings from my previous computer to my new computer without starting from scratch?

Also is there a way to use Stream Deck with Duel PC's or do I need 1 stream deck for each computer?

rare kraken
#

@final terrace if you save your stream deck profile, then load that on the other PC, you should be good to go

#

As far as using one streamdeck for both PCs... don't think that'll work. Have you explored utilizing the iOS version?

Hi. I have an issue with the HD60S where when I turn on my computer the sound from my tv goes out. It’s not the tv or the Switch I’ve already confirmed that.

Hey, My stream deck XL is randomly pressing buttons on it's own. Any idea?

#

@tepid cosmos help me plz dad

worldly sigil
#

First of all, let's not tag Elgato Staff out of the blue (they don't monitor this channel, there's a ticketing system on their website if you must contact Elgato staff)
Secondly, have you tried a different USB port?

olive viper
#

I'll try that now and see if that helps

#

Nope, now some buttons just don't work

worldly sigil
#

tried uninstalling StreamDeck software, restarting PC, reinstalling, then restarting once more?

tepid cosmos
#

@olive viper try unplugging USB devices from your computer - if you have all your USB ports filled up there it could be a power bandwidth issue. Also try plugging it into a different computer to see if the same issues happen as that can indicate more whehter it's a software issue vs. hardware

worldly sigil
#

alright Steggy I'll leave it in your hands 🙂

olive viper
#

hi steggy miss u

tepid cosmos
#

Thanks for your help @worldly sigil

olive viper
#

I plugged it into my Sata 3 USB thing i added to my desktop

tepid cosmos
#

Is that a PCI-E expansion card?

olive viper
#

yeah

tepid cosmos
#

Try just plugging into a normal USB port maybe it's a USB driver issue on that product

#

Like some USB ports on a motherboard are intel then some are asmedia etc. and can sometimes behave differently with devices

olive viper
#

i went from a normal one to the PCI one and nothing fixed. trying a full uninstall and re install

tepid cosmos
#

oh gotcha. yea a uninstall/reinstall would eb a good thing to test as well as trying Stream Deck plugged into a laptop or anything else yo uhave available

#

just to eliminate possibilities

half mango
#

Have any ideas about my issue?

olive viper
#

Yeah i think theres just dead buttons on my stream deck that randomly activate on their own

tepid cosmos
#

@half mango no I haven't come across that. You'd be best off emailing our support for that

olive viper
#

Cause I can't click them, they just click themselves

half mango
#

Ok thanks

tepid cosmos
#

Yea @olive viper hit up our support on email they're your best bet for troubleshooting

Alright throwing this out there I’m using a hd60s I have a non USB mixer. I’m using a HDMI Audio extractor to better control the game audio with the mixer rather than the obs sliders. How ever after about 10 or so minutes the hd60s drops off and I have to reset the hd60s to get it to work again. I have changed out all the HDMI cables. Oh and it’s connect to an Xbox one as the source. It all works with out the HDMI splitter but I want that control of the audio

proud tinsel
#

Uhh, my HD60S is getting recognized by now, but it only outputs a black screen. I'm connecting it to my main PC and using Windows' "Duplicate Screen" feature. Is there anything I need to do to get it to output video?
Maybe should mention that the PC I'm using to record is quite old, but should still do it as he manages to do the rest just fine.

ornate sonnet
#

ok so i fixed the HD0s issue i changed the way it sees it i have the xbox one into the hd60 then the splitter / HDMI audio extractor. That seems to have solved the problem for now unless someone has a better way

cobalt sphinx
#

@south bronze via what obs?

#

Or I'd assume a cap card

south bronze
#

No just for future reference so I don't use money on the wrong thing

#

Also just regular OBS. Would I need it on both the streaming macbook and the gaming windows lapotp?

worldly sigil
#

No. You would only need it on the streaming MacBook. Does your gaming laptop have a HDMI out port?

cobalt sphinx
#

If you are planning to use your MacBook as the streaming pc in a dual system setup

#

You'll need a USB capture card that has an hdmi cable running into it from your gaming laptop

worldly sigil
#

That's why I'm asking if his laptop has a HDMI out port. As without it, he isn't gonna be able to use a capture card.

cobalt sphinx
#

It most likely does I haven't seen a laptop without an hdmi out

worldly sigil
#

Erm, I'm next to one without a HDMI port right now.

#

Since although it's not a Windows laptop, it still technically is a laptop (but with a 360 hinge so maybe it counts as a 2-in-1)

Hello everyone,
I want to stream with my ps4 to pc but with the capture card a strange picture is displayed on the tv. It is slightly pixelated and very bright. On the pc everything looks normal. Also if my hdmi kavel is directly connected from tv to ps. In the capture card settings, i’ve tried anything without success.
And the advanced settings doesn‘t Show the "tv compatibility" button.

I hope someone can help me with this problem 😄

Trying to use a usb mic, that has a headseat attached, and get that into a hdmi which will get sound to my obs, but its only picking up my mic

@worldly sigil Yes the laptop does have an hdmi port. Also would it be possible for the HDMI to record the built in monitor? At home since i have an Xbox i would use an external monitor. But on the go Id use the built in monitor.

Hi, I own a elgato 4k60 pro mk2 with a dual pc streaming setup - passthrough. In my gaming PC whenever I play a fullscreen game and press alt-tab, my gaming PC freezes and it says elgato signal lost for about 3-5 seconds on my streaming PC. Is there a fix for this issue?

cunning latch
#

@boreal gazelle Go into Game Capture Preferences, Advanced. Change your Encoder and Decoder to Software and see if it has any difference.

worldly sigil
#

@south bronze no, it wouldn't be able to use the built in monitor BUT if you tell Windows to mirror the displays then you'll be able to essentially record the built in monitor because the external monitor would display the exact same thing.

@worldly sigil I'm honestly surprised your 2011 MBP still works. Both my 2012 MBP and my wife's 2011 MBP got battery issues or logic board issues and we ended up upgrading.

But I'm waiting on the Surface Monitor, assuming it supports on-screen Surface Dial interactions and isn't only the 27" model. Rumoured to be coming with the Spring 2020 refresh

Hey everyone! I'm currently having an issue with media files and my Stream Deck. I've set them to play on a specific scene by toggle via Stream Deck. But when I head to another scene and come back to the one where the media files are at, they all suddenly play at once. Is there a fix to this?

cunning latch
#

@south bronze sort of, yea.

rich ether
#

@rare terrace I'm having the same issue. Just purchased the cam link two days ago, and haven't gotten it to work without freezing.

south bronze
#

@slate lintel @rich ether I recommend if you like, getting a 4k webcam. But cameras are great too!

rich ether
#

These are my specs. I have the camlink in the USB 3.1 slot, by itself, nothing else connected into a 3.1. Not even in the 3.0's. Connected a micro HDMI to HDMI, straight into a Panasonic G7 with a constant power source.

#

@south bronze ? I have a 4k mirrorless camera

south bronze
#

@rich ether Yes that would works. I just to most people who have a budget recommend a webcam.

rich ether
#

Think you got me confused, I'm not looking to buy a webcam. I'm looking for troubleshooting advice in regards to the Camlink 4k I have hooked into my Panasonic g7, which is a bit better than a regular webcam.

cunning latch
#

@rare terrace @rich ether

This is the Cam Link or Original?

Try going into Device Manager. Go to Sound, Video, and Game Controllers. Select the Cam Link 4K.

Then at the top go to view > Devices By Connection. The Cam Link should now show up in the list under some USB hubs or controllers.

Try right clicking on these hubs, go to properties, then Power Management tab, and unchecking "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

The Cam Link might be getting shut off by the system causing this.

rich ether
#

@cunning latch Ok, I've done it. I'm going to reboot, and take a test stream run. Thanks.

rare terrace
#

Ah ok I’ll try that @cunning latch

rich ether
#

@cunning latch No, unfortunately still occurring.

#

This is the 4k version of Cam link by the way.

#

Are there any other drivers besides the default Microsoft drivers available?

#

Or should I have anything else installed other than going straight to my broadcaster?

#

What it looks like when it times out. This is using the xsplit vcam software, but the error is occurring with a direct cam link source.

rich ether
#

I'm going to buy another micro HDMI tomorrow's and see if it's the cable, otherwise I'm out of ideas.

cunning latch
#

All I'd suggest from here is emailing in or calling: http://e.lga.to/help Phone team is still open right now.

rich ether
#

@cunning latch thanks. I'll do it tomorrow. Getting late here in NY and I gotta get up at 4:30am for work. Appreciate the help

#

Sorry that the suggestion didn't help, but it was a recent solution that came up. Worth a shot. Sometimes the USB controller might not keep up, but interesting that Xsplit just loses an image.

I’m using an hd60 s with earbuds for mic. Is there a way to adjust the gaming audio separately from the mic audio in the game capture software, after the recording has been done?

south bronze
#

are the turtle beach chat recons mics compatible with the elgato chat link cable?

@quaint shuttle What I mean is is this adapter one which plugs directly into the HD's port, like the adapter which ships with it? The wiring is unique.

Hello everyone, I have two KeyLights that I picked up a couple months ago. They worked for about a week and since then, I have to reset them every day.

Hey guys!!

So working on starting my stream again after a 10 year break from twitch and my wife has entertained the idea of joining me every now and again on stream. (Possibly a couple times a month)

I’ve got no experience with capture cards so was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.

Was going to get two Elgato HD 60s’ to plug into a pretty beefy laptop to stream from when both of us are playing, and using the laptop as the stream computer.

But when my wife isn’t streaming with me was going to use her computer for rendering as the stream computer and a 4K 60 Pro to also be able to pull stream footage and clips from to make other content ...

just curious if anyone would know if this would work or if there’s a smarter way to do it before I drop $500 on capture cards

Thanks in advance for any help

#

@glad moat If you change the input to Other and profile to HD 1080, does this have any effect?

@fresh crypt Two HD60 S cards into one laptop? Have specs for that Laptop?

fresh crypt
#

8700k 1080 32gb ram 3000 1tb SSD ... I think that’s generally the specs

#

May be better than 3000 MHz ram may be 3200

cunning latch
#

That's in the laptop? Damn, that's nice.

#

The specs are definitely there. Only concern with a laptop is how USB devices are split up. If you can find out if you have multiple roothubs, then you should be good. An HD60 S at 1080p 60fps is delivering almost 2Gbps of video data. Two will get to the theorhetical max of USB 3.0

So moving them to separate controllers or roothubs is key to distributing that bandwidth.

#

You should be able to open up Device Manager on the Laptop and look under Universal Serial Bus Controllers

fresh crypt
#

Thanks @cunning latch ... yeah it’s also 4K at like 120 hz if I remember correctly too ... it’s a great laptop but wanted to upgrade and get back into having something like this ❤️

#

... the laptop originally was a $4,200 but got it refurbished for like $3,500... started having issues with the power and had to send it in for repairs that’s when I said screw it lol

#

Ifound the discord thank you

cunning latch
#

@fresh crypt That looks ok to me right now. But I'd keep in mind that the HD60 S can only accept up to 1080p 60hz. So you'll be cloning your displays to get anything higher in terms of resolution or refresh rate.

If the HD60 S is setup as an extended desktop you can use OBS to capture the game, and then send a fullscreen preview to the HD60 S. Bit confusing, but it's become another option for avoiding tearing and resolution/refresh rate issues.

fresh crypt
#

Thats good to know since both streaming computers are running 2k displays at 144hz ... hmmm are there any hardware workarounds at the moment?

fresh crypt
#

Just looked it up and seems like cloning is fairly simple via nvidia control panel is this still a valid solution?

@cunning latch thanks for the effort! I actually just got a response yesterday. The logs showed consistent KeyLight 'timeout' messages so it was suggested that I re-install Bonjour, which did not work unfortunately. I'll be processing a warranty repair/exchange. Still a big fan of your products, so I'm considering this an anomaly!

worldly sigil
#

Another option is XSplit Gamecaster btw.

#

(for the aspect ratio adjustment and such)

cunning latch
#

@drifting sky Yes, I'd suggest OBS Studio here, or Xsplit as mentioned. Both are free and would allow you to adjust the size of the capture card feed.

#

And it is pretty easy to setup your card. If you have questions about that though, feel free to post in here.

bright lark
#

I'm curious if I have two of the 4k pro v2 elgato capture cards would I be able to use two instances of the 4k capture software simultaneously? And if so does the stream deck recognize each card so that the flashback record shortcuts I'd make would differentiate which one I'm selecting?

bright lark
#

Also does the 4k60 mk2 support 3440x1440 @120hz or is it still @100hz like the previous generation?

sick moon
#

My streamdeck doesn't work when i use it for obs. Settings for sounds are wrong as well

#

I can't even uninstall. Restarting my pc sometimes helps.

#

What can i do?

cunning latch
#

@bright lark 1) Only one instance of 4KCU can be open. But you can run multiple instances of OBS Studio with each card.

  1. The 3440x1440 100hz limit is that of HDMI 2.0.
#

Can enter the first part as a feature request, as others might be interested in it.

#

@sick moon You can't uninstall Stream Deck, are you seeing an error?

bright lark
#

ok, is the 4k60 mk2 the only card that allows local recording while it also feeds to obs? I'm trying to record my pc and dlsr on individual files if the use case helps you better understand.

#

@cunning latch

#

@cunning latch no error

Heya. I'm having an issue with a HD60 pro saying that it is already in use by another application. I have disabled shadow play, and am almost certain nothing else is using it. Any idea what may be going on?

restive imp
#

@cunning latch You seem to be the go to guy. Are you familiar with this problem?

cunning latch
#

@restive imp If you're positive nothing else is going on, then maybe try a reinstall of the drivers: https://e.lga.to/drivers and a reboot. Maybe even shutting down the system and moving the card to another slot if possible. This message could be a false positive.

#

@fresh crypt Glad to hear it. Two Roothubs give you the best chance for handling those two cards.

#

@bright lark Currently the MK2 is the only card from us which allows multiple programs to access it at once, but there are other work arounds for your use-case.

You have two 4K60 Pro MK2s in your system?

@sick moon So it's working right now?

@restive imp reinstalling the drivers did the trick. Thank you for the help.

Hey!
So i havent been streaming many console games and using primarily my PC for gaming, so today I decided to switch my setup with my elgato to strictly PC. Last night I was streaming and had 0 problems, today when I switched it solely to PC, any time I open up the Elgato software or OBS studios, it keeps coming up "game capture HD60s needs to be connected to usb 3.0 to function properly" thing is.... it is and has been connected to 3.0 and its in the same port as its always been. I did try my other 3 usb 3.0 ports as well as my USB 3.0 hub... nothing. I've searched online and haven't found much. Is anyone able to help out? Thanks in advance

#

So when im live ppl dont see whats happening

high skiff
#

A row of buttons suddenly stopped working on my streamdeck, any help?

#

Solution: Moved the cable around a bit and they started working like they are supposed to

high skiff
#

Update it died again

floral jetty
#

@high skiff what size?

high skiff
#

Standard, I belive its something to do with my trackir

#

I shut down my trackir sofware and it works again

pure wharf
#

Can I PLEASE get some help with the Elgato HD60 S+?

#

There is absolutely no support or help for it on the internet.

worldly sigil
#

Well what's wrong for a start?

pure wharf
#

And it's not capturing my game audio, or mic, I've tried everything.

#

^

worldly sigil
#

Are you using the 4K Capture Utility?

pure wharf
#

No, not while using OBS.

#

I've tried, but it didn't help.

worldly sigil
#

Tried different USB ports? It almost certainly needs a USB3 port on the motherboard.

#

So no USB expansions or anything, a USB 3 port directly on the motherboard

pure wharf
#

I have 2 on my computer.

#

One sec.

#

Still no difference.

Elgato Staff don't actively monitor this channel. The ticketing system is the official way to get support from Elgato

high skiff
#

My streamdeck keeps on dying on me

floral jetty
#

Even with that app stopped?

#

The one you mentioned earlier?

high skiff
#

Yes, it suddenly comes back and goes away

#

yes

floral jetty
#

Is the stream deck disconnecting from your PC? Like hearing the disconnect sound?

high skiff
#

No, and its only one row of buttons laterally

floral jetty
#

And you aren't using the xl right?

high skiff
#

no

#

I have a 3x15

#

connected directly to my pc

#

Is there anything related for how long it has been on for?

floral jetty
#

Not that I'm aware of. If you swap the commands on that last row does it still fail?

high skiff
#

It still fails

floral jetty
#

Ok, I would contact support to submit a ticket might need a RMA.

high skiff
#

Is an RMA still possible without a receipt

worldly sigil
#

There's the link

high skiff
#

since I am not the one who bought it

worldly sigil
#

And you'll probably need the receipt unfortunately. :(

high skiff
#

Yeah

#

I am propably going to open it up and see, any manual/documentation for doing that?

worldly sigil
#

No there is not. It is not meant to be opened up.

high skiff
#

I mean I guess yeah

#

neither are iphones

floral jetty
#

Also have you tried uninstalling software?

high skiff
#

About 4 times

floral jetty
#

Ok, yeah I'd say contact support. I'd see if the person who bought it could get the receipt as well

high skiff
#

I wonder if its software or hardware?

#

I am betting software since it gets no physical contact when it fails

#

Any ways to hardware reset the deck?

floral jetty
#

Not that I'm aware of.

#

Also you can try in windows safe mode see if any other app is affecting it.

high skiff
#

I'll try that

#

What does the safe mode do, just not start apps?

floral jetty
#

Yeah it's a selective start mode only needed apps and services run at start

high skiff
#

Is there a way to update the firmware?

floral jetty
#

Should prompt in the software if it's needed

high skiff
#

aight

bright lark
#

Does anyone know how I can record my game and facecam as individual files? I was going to use two 4k mk2 cards but can't have two instances of the 4k capture utility open simultaneously.

Folks with Dual pc setups using programs like Synergy to share kbm. Is it buggy in any way, like the cursor would go onto the other monitor while gaming? And if I’m used to using 2 monitors for productivity, will it be way too different in terms of workflow when the second monitor now is dedicated to the other pc, but connected with the sharing software

#

Cuz I’m just used to throw windows out of my way to the next monitor when I have many things open. I imagine this isn’t possible with the software

How would I make it so my Elgato HD60PRO will only record game audio and not discord and spotify

floral jetty
#

what software are you using?

burnt heath
#

Game capture HD @floral jetty

floral jetty
#

Not super familiar with the setup in GCHD but found a post that explains it. Give this a shot.

#

In GCHD settings (the gear at the top right corner, above the device being used) there should be options to separate audio/webcam/sound capture (Sound capture is what you're going to need to get if you don't have it already. that's what is going to let you hear your friends on discord and let that track be recorded separate) Once you have sound capture, make sure to go to 'Team Chat', make sure output is at 100, make your microphone for chat whatever mic you use to talk to your friends on discord. Next the device to where you wanna hear your friends at on discord (in my case, mine is my headset.) Next and final step, is to make sure that your settings for your audio in discord (found in User settings > Voice & Video > Input Device/Output Device) Match what you set in Sound Capture. That is all!

is there a known bug with ending a twitch stream (obs) via streamdeck? I have a multiaction that ends the stream. But after it ends the stream i always get a video oon twitch of 1 minute that is broken and notifications are sent out again

is there a way I can run obs and the elgato software at the same time I wanna stream but I wanna record my clips I hit on cod with elgato software

cunning latch
#

@quiet wave Got a link to the splitter? some splitters may chroma subsample or limit resolutions perhaps.

#

@bright lark You can record one in 4KCU and one in OBS Studio.

west spear
#

So hopefully this is an easy fix but for some reason when I stream (on Mac) after about an hour and a half or two my game audio isn’t synced with my video anymore is there a setting to prevent this or is that just what happens?

bright lark
#

Ok thanks @cunning latch

cunning latch
#

@west spear This is with Game Capture? Which Elgato device are you using?

Does this issue happen when recording?

west spear
#

I haven’t recorded for that long to know for sure. But I am using the HD60s and when I start the stream everything is synced.

#

And also I should mention this issue is with OBS

#

And OBS Link

#

Haven't got a link of a specific one, @cunning latch could you recommend one? It is not easy for me to get behind my PC everytime I want to switch from PS4 to Xbox so idk if this is the right solution

Im using a elgato streamdeck multiaction to end my streams. But since 3 days after the stream ends it kinda starts a new stream with broken video. Is that maybe a streamdeck error or more of a obs / twitch problem?

#

What's the multiaction do exactly?

I'd say end stream manually and see if it happens, then start with the stream deck ending stream to see if that works. Could be Twitch/OBS or how the multiaction is set up

thats the multiaction. But okay. I will try ending it manually tomorrow then

Sorry if it's already been asked, but I am trying to install the OBS-Streamdeck remote (So I can use my streamdeck to control OBS) but my OBS isn't installed on my C: cause that's just for windows...

Is there a way to manually install this so I don't have to reinstall OBS?

dull ridge
#

Hi there. I am new to the server and don't know if this is the place to put this, but I am looking to purchase the HD60 Pro for upcoming streams that I will be doing. I've been looking into this product over the last couple of days and it looks like the best option for my current setup.

I have looked into reviews and have read Elgato's own support articles on the product already and apart from their articles many say to use a PCIe x4 slot or above to fit the card. I have already looked into the installation of the product.

Due to the fact that I own a large card (MSI RTX 2070 ARMOR), I only have two PCIe x1 slots available at the bottom of my motherboard (GIGABYTE Z390 GAMING X).

I want to make sure that even though I will have to put it into either of the PCIe x1 slots it won't stick out the back of my PC, due to how close the slots are to back of the case. I am only checking this, as the card is still expensive; regardless of it being one of the cheapest on the market for professional standards.

floral jetty
#

A x1 slot should be fine. I have mine in one.

dull ridge
#

Ah thanks

molten apex
#

@half sphinx Hope the ping is okay.

i checked and without using the multiaction (ending stream via obs) the stream ended normal and there was no broken stream afterwards

half sphinx
#

Well that's good that obs works at least. I'd try seeing if just end stream on multi action works or causes an issue. If it does then you can contact support to make sure they are aware of the issue

south bronze
#

how do i get the software to recognize that i have the stream deck mini now and not the regular?

floral jetty
#

Did you try making a new profile in the software?

south bronze
#

Yeah, but I keep getting the 15 slot instead of the 6 slot @floral jetty

shrewd kindle
#

guys is it possible to play at 240hz and send game to capture card HD60 Pro to streaming pc?

I heard you need 4k60 pro for 240hz

@south bronze I would say search the pins we have elgato number pinned and give support a call. Support staff do not monitor this location. And calling might be the best spot.

south bronze
#

Great, thank you.

floral jetty
#

@shrewd kindle you can mirror the display and send the 60hz to the hd60pro but depending on how windows and display drivers want to behave it can be wonky.

shrewd kindle
#

Alright, I've seen that too @floral jetty just wanted to make sure, thank you.

cunning latch
#

@dull ridge Can you link to the material where it says x4 slot? I'd want to fix that info.

HD60 Pro is 1x 2.0.

#

Thank you @cunning latch for the information.

#

I believe I have two of those slots available which is perfect

#

Nevermind, I misread your original post. I thought our articles were saying 4x. Yea you should be good to go.

#

quick questio with a stream deck. can you make a button thats a folder also a multiaction ? like i have a folder for display cap scene but i also iwant that folder button to change to the scene so i dont have to click another button to actually switch

worldly sigil
#

No @copper mesa I do not believe this is possible. You MAY however be able to get it to change to a separate profile instead.

#

(as part of the multiaction that is)

#

But that would mean creating whole new profiles for all the scenes you want it to work with. But I have not seen the ability to navigate to folder in the StreamDeck. I shall have a quick look now.

#

I've just checked @copper mesa - when you go to create a multi action the folder action becomes hidden. Thus it is NOT possible to have the folder run a multi-action automatically. Your only option as I said previously is to create a new profile for that scene (you could also then create a button next to the multi-action that runs the OBS scene command, that only takes you to that profile)

copper mesa
#

thank you it makes sense. i didnt think it would work but i want sure if there was soemthing i didnt know

Hi all! Thanks in advance for any help...

#

I keep getting this visual glitch and it's persisting even though I've tweek the settings and disabling preview

#

I am recording with the Elgato software closed, and recording in OBS; I've had an Elgato HD60 before and this was never an issue

cunning latch
#

Could be performance related. Looks like it's not an encoding issue from OBS since your webcam is fine. But since the HD60 has an encoder there may be a problem decoding it.

Try reinstalling Game Capture: [https://help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360027964072] And rebooting the system. Game Capture is used to import video from the HD60 into OBS Studio. @strange moat

@strange moat Hi, This problem occurs when your PC has too little power, maybe even see if C disk is full, or set the priority of Elgato or OBS on high. Always had the problem with my laptop, because the laptop did not have the desired performance.

Nevermind, i've got another problem

#

I've used the Elgato 60S before. Now i'm using the 4K Pro MK2 and my sound is delayed a bit

#

It's really annoying to play games like that, if the sound is delayed a few milliseconds

#

It's not much, but definitely noticeable and more than i had with the 60S

#

Is there something i could try? @cunning latch

cunning latch
#

Audio is delayed behind the video in the preview?

ruby talon
#

Exactly. I haven't tried recording yet, but i noticed it in the live preview

#

Plus: Is there any way to adjust the audio volume in the 4K Capture Utility?

cunning latch
ruby talon
#

Thank you. I'll check real quick if it's also in a recording

ruby talon
#

@cunning latch The recording is perfectly in sync. But the live preview is a bit off

#

It's not just the audio. The video also has some latency

cunning latch
#

Well if the audio and video is in sync with each other then this may be normal. There will be some delay. Usually a few frames like 4-5. Which would be about 40-100ms depending on the system and source.

It's why we still wouldn't suggest playing directly in the preview. There is processing and buffering that has to happen for the image to get from the input to being displayed in a window in the software.

#

If the audio and video were behaving out of sync with each other then that would be something to investigate as they should be equal.

ruby talon
#

Okay. Audio and video is in sync with each other. That's fine. And i don't want to play using the preview. I'm using the output HDMI of course. But how do i get the audio from the software in sync with the real time HDMI output? That's my problem right now

#

It's really annoying with about 20 frames delay in the preview to listen to the audio

#

That's really weird because the 60S hat much less delay for me

strange moat
#

Very, very interesting... so I kept getting the visual glitch while watching the quality of the video back in Windows Media Player

#

The top left is a YT upload, bottom right is the WMP... it seems to be a media player glitch - the quality is great when uploaded to YT

Hey guys. I have the ElGato HD60 and I have watched a few videos on how to resolve the Audio Sync Issue in OBS, but the window when you go to the El Gato Source Properties looks different on mine. In their videos they change the Buffering to 1 millisecond.

In my settings that "Use Buffering" seems to be replaced with a "Buffering" drop down menu that has 3 options: Auto-Detect, Enable and Disable.

What is the proper way to fix the audio delay issue with my version of OBS? (Version 24.0.3)

strange moat
#

@cunning latch WMP probably has an outdated codec for decoding the video

#

@pine hedge Looks like you’re in Properties, go to the cog wheel for the settings

cunning latch
#

@pine hedge And that's because the first image is from OBS Classic from many years ago. For buffering on your current device, you can leave it on Disabled or Auto.

If you need to delay audio, you can do that in your Advanced Audio Properties. if you need to delay video, that is a video filter.

#

@strange moat What about VLC?

strange moat
#

Same

cunning latch
#

@ruby talon What is the source you're capturing? Are you not able to listen to the source directly with headphones directly?

olive geyser
#

hello, i have a problem with my stream deck. i want to set up my obs stream elements scenes on the streamdeck, but it says that the Elgato Remote Control plugin is missing. already reinstalled both applications

ruby talon
#

I am playing on the Nintendo Switch. And my headset is connected to the PC

pine hedge
#

@strange moat The cog and the properties bring me to the same window.

@cunning latch Auto or disabled usually doesn't cause any delay in the current version of OBS with the HD60? Also, I looked in Settings>Audio and I don't see anything about setting a delay. Is that not the advanced audio properties?

cunning latch
#

@pine hedge Buffering meant something else in the older version basically. Find your Audio Mixer, and then right click inside of there and go to Advanced Audio Properties. Or you can find it under the Edit menu

ruby talon
#

@cunning latch What can i do in order to fix this issue?

cunning latch
#

@ruby talon Does your Monitor/TV have a headphone port or some other audio output? One option I've occasionally suggested is connecting that headphone jack or audio output into the computer's Line In 3.5mm port. You can then import this as an audio source into software like OBS Studio and have it replace the audio from the card. Integrated Audio often has almost no latency. Right in sync with your monitor.

Takes some setup but it also lets you mix audio from the PC and hear it too.

ruby talon
#

Thank you! I'll try that now

ruby talon
#

Yay! It worked i think

#

But now, the audio has no latency. The video does. So audio and video are not in sync on stream i guess

cunning latch
#

So from here, you have some options. If you're using the Monitoring function in OBS Studio, then you should be able to go into Advanced Audio Properties and adjust the sync function to push audio later until it's in sync with the video. I think you said 20 frames, so 1/3rd of a second. Try 350ms. But this shouldn't affect what you hear, last time I checked.

#

If consoles had much more flexible options for audio, this sort of stuff wouldn't be needed.

ruby talon
#

Gonna try that. Thank you so much for your support!

#

I've got it working with OBS. That's great. But can i also use it with the Elgato 4K Capture Utility?

I have a question, I've got a high performance gaming laptop an elgato hd60 capture card and a regular laptop. when i try to record something I have a hdmi cable running from elgato hdmi in to my gaming laptop and then I have a mini usb going from the elgato to the recording laptop. The preview works fine but every time I play a game I get insane input lag for example destiny 2 which runs really smooth without the hdmi plugged in

cunning latch
#

@wet ivy Yep. Streamlabs and OBS work differently so they record what is inside of the canvas. You'll just get a no signal in between this point.

#

@south bronze Looks like interlacing. What console are you recording, which software, and which capture card?

I did also see some smearing, but that may be indirectly related to the interlacing lines.

Your console may be running at 1080i.

#

@arctic karma So the preview begins to have a big delay, or you're playing with delay?

arctic karma
#

playing with delay

#

preview has delay but thats normal right?

cunning latch
#

@frail ingot Nothing is stored on the Stream Deck itself if you were curious. So any caching would be on the PC or Mac. Did you have GIFs on every key or something?

#

Certainly normal for the HD60. Sometimes up to a second.

Are you playing Destiny 2 on that laptop, or is it just being used to capture?

arctic karma
#

I have 2 laptops

#

One i play d2 on and the other just for elgato

cunning latch
#

@glacial pulsar Try to turn off Windows 10's Fast Startup feature. This can cause the problem since Windows 10 by default is actually in hibernate when you use Shut Down. You can also just unplug and plug back in the cable.

Its weird because when I dont have the game open but am recording there is no input lag but as soon as I open the game the mouse movement is delayed and keys also

@uncut plank You can use a Cam Link 4K and HD60 S together. There is no software limitation on our end. It's possible your USB ports or USB controller doesn't have enough power to supply it to both devices. Can you try another combination of USB ports?

#

@potent bone Not sure on this, but I'd probably make a ticket if you have to run it in Admin mode. http://e.lga.to/help

thank you @cunning latch !!

#

So how do people have a dual pc setup but with a 4k60pro? I thought its only possible with an hd60s(+)

worldly sigil
#

If you have a laptop as your stream PC then yes you have to use the HD60S(+) but stream PCs are usually desktops and thus have PCI-e slots, allowing you to use a 4K60Pro

#

Since the main difference between the S(+) and the Pro is that the S(+) connects via USB and the Pro connects via PCI-e

@crude lake sorry for the late response but I use Streamlabs

I had a question about the internal capture cards

#

I've got a 2-PC setup and I was wondering why the PC requirements list an NVIDIA graphics card?

#

I have a friend who also has a 2 PC setup and has found that he can actually get the elgato to work without a dedicated graphics card at all.

floral jetty
#

@tulip saffron I'd say the graphics is the minimum if you wanted to use the Nvidia encoder.

tulip saffron
#

So the other option would be to use the CPU, I assume? And I assume the problem with using the CPU to handle decoding of the 4k60 is that it will impact stream encode perf?

#

Or would, for example, a 9700k (or perhaps a 3900X) be adequate to both handle 4k60 decode and stream encode?

#

Does anyone have real numbers on the impact of CPU decoding with the 4k60?

so i have the hd60s + and i got a sound delay about 1-2 seconds any clue how i can fix this

Hope someone can help me with that. I have a HD60S and use OBS Link on my Mac to be able to get the captured video in OBS with the NDI Plugin. I am often told by chat that after a certain time video and audio is not in sync anymore. First I blamed OBS but after using a simple NDI Monitor I got the exact same problem after some time. Any ideas how to fix that?

The search function only got me others with the same symptoms but with no solution mentioned afterwards.

well was here before i had a question myself :D
some time ago i had a problem with my multiaction. its there to end my stream. but it started another "broken" stream at the end... yet it worked fine the last couple of streams after i redid it.
But today it started a broken stream again 🤔

coarse summit
#

What is that ?

molten apex
#

twitch inspector. the bitrate curve

cunning latch
#

So the multiaction was starting and stopping it?

molten apex

this is the action

and after the stream ends it again seems to start a stream for about a minuten (notifications are coming through and i got abroken vid in the videoeditor of twitch)

I have an HD60S and a macbook air 2019 and when just trying to record gameplay it lags a ton, audio and video. This is weird because I've seen videos of people getting 1080p60 on macbook air 2015's

#

Any ideas?

stoic vessel
#

So, I am very much on a budget for a capture card, but I think I want to get the HD60S. I play on xbox atm, but will be converting to pc soon. Does that capture card work for both so I dont have to buy 2 different cards?

coarse summit
#

Yes it does but it’s not needed on pc

worldly sigil
#

You won't need the capture card for a 1 PC setup

stoic vessel
#

Oh, capture cards arent needed for PC's?

coarse summit
#

Yeah they’re not just use something like obs or shadowplay

stoic vessel
#

Oh, ok thank you. I have never owned a computer so I dont really know much about them.

coarse summit
#

I can said u a video so you can watch it when u get ur pc

cunning latch
#

You can definitely use a capture card for a PC, but they are best used in a Dual PC setup where you can dedicate a system to all of the recording and/or streaming work.

i think somethings not right with the Twitch plugin (or parts of it) i have a multi action that is supposed to change the stream title. but it doesn't.

My step uncle just built me a PC strictly for streaming, but I know nothing about PCs... lol. I've got everything hooked up and just need a capture card and I was wondering what would be the best external capture card for my stream based on my spec. ( If there's a relevancy? )
Specs:
i7 Processor - 2700k CPU @ 3.50 GHZ
Installed Ram - 16 GB
System Type - 64 bit operating system x64 based processor.
Not sure if there's more but that's pretty much what I found

worldly sigil
#

Do you have a graphics card?

#

Since you'll probably want to use NVENC over software encoding. But to use NVENC you'll need an Nvidia graphics card (600 series or newer)

south bronze
#

I've got a graphics card, but I was told it wouldn't help me with streaming. Is that incorrect? @worldly sigil I've got an Nvidia Quadro 6000

worldly sigil
#

With such an old i7 you'll probably get more mileage out of using NVENC over x264.

#

As for capture card, it depends, do you want one that goes in the back of your PC (internal), or one that connects via USB (external)?

south bronze
#

Preferably external

worldly sigil
#

Do you have USB 3 ports?

south bronze
#

3 exactly.

worldly sigil
#

And they're USB 3 and not the older USB 2 standard?

south bronze
#

Correct

worldly sigil
#

Then look at the Elgato HD60S+

south bronze
#

That's what someone else had recommended to me but just the S, what's the difference with the +?

#

Just googled it 😂 I appreciate the help though, seriously means a lot.

Hey everyone @here I have a question; I use an Elgato HD60 for streaming and game capture, I tried having Game Capture HD and Streamlabs OBS opened at the same time but the capture card only works on one software at a time.

#

Is there a way to make this work? The newer capture devices support this?

#

I want to use streamlabs for streaming and game capture to take screenshots and capturing gameplay without the stream layout

#

If the HD60 S+ allows me to do that I'll upgrade right now lol

#

I basically want to use Game Capture and Streamlabs OBS at the same time. Please let me know if that is possible.

floral jetty
#

You could do selective recording in streamlabs. It will allow a stream and record just raw footage.

#

and i believe only the 4k60 m2 supports multi app

half sphinx
#

@molten apex I saw you had issues with mutli action again? Maybe try and add another Delay between the audio actions and obs scene, or increase the delay of that is there already.

muted bloom
#

Uhm... I have a weird problem.

#

Whenever my Switch is on the TV at the same time as the Eglato software, my PC speakers make this insane, nightmarish static version of the TV's audio.

#

Except when the speakers are turned off.

#

Is this the channel for this kind of problem?

quiet wave
#

@half sphinx where did you see that the 4k60 m2 supports multiapp?

#

Sorry it was @floral jetty

half sphinx
quiet wave
#

Nice thanks. I guess I have to get an upgrade then

#

Any recommwndations for a 4K HDMI splitter?

half sphinx
#

I don't have any so can't really give a real one. But as long as it supports 4k60 you should be good, maybe with HDR compatibility as well?

quiet wave
#

Yes I currently use a 5x1 1080p one for my HD60 and it works perfectly

I guess it's time to upgrade

Hey I have connected my elgato with my 2 pcs to stream, but the elgato doesnt seem to come up as an option when trying to capture the gaming pcs screen

No chance of it working on my system right?

I don't think it will unfortunately 😦

Damn... alright

floral jetty
#

@quiet wave look in to streamlabs obs feature called selective recording. you can stream a full overlay and record just the game

quiet wave
#

I'll look into it. Does it support screenshots as well?

#

I guess if I stream with gamecapture but I'll miss a lot of features..

I think it's safe to say, the capture card doesn't like my right now

#

@worldly sigil Whats the source? Did you change anything inside Xsplit?

worldly sigil
#

It was the Game Capture HD60S. I've got it working in Elgato Game Capture now, gonna retest XSplit PTR

#

YES! Seems it was breaking because the Xbox had decided to set its resolution to 640x480

coarse summit
#

What’s a good keyboard that’s not too expensive (max £65) ping me when answered please

bold ember
#

@worldly sigil I would suggest deleting the "Game Capture HD" source you're using in Xsplit and instead add the "Elgato Game Capture HD60 S(Video)(#01)" device

#

itll work better 🙂

worldly sigil
#

I think that's what I use

#

but the "Game Capture HD" souce actually works

#

oh... so when the Xbox is off it says "Device is not available"... 🤔

south bronze
#

I use Studio Mode, and I have to use hotkeys to select a scene, since selecting them with the built-in feature will switch to it right away. I need to select a scene, wait, then transition so the overlay can load first. Is there a way to do this without hotkeys? Select a scene with the Scene option for OBS Studio without transitioning to it right away?

@half sphinx
actually i just removed the "end stream" and added it again and it worked fine today

Would the 4K60 Pro mk2 work with my system if the output is 1080p?

#

For example, if I have the xbox one x hooked up to a 1080p monitor?

#

@here

#

Please let me know guys

pliant wadi
#

For some reason hotkeys triggered via the Stream Deck for OBS only work when the Stream Deck window is open and in focus. If it's not in focus, it will not work. Fixed this issue by running it as an administrator. Every time I press a button that is for a hotkey, the windows notification sound plays as if something happened.

So, I had a windows laptop with OBS and a HD60s to stream my PS4. I output the PS4 sound to my headphones connected to the laptop. So I can listen to the PS4 sound without the need of a chat link.
Can this be done on a Mac using Game Capture HD?

Anyone here know how well the elgato hd60 s would work with a macbook air?

#

it has the combatible operating system and CPU but the GPU is intel hd graphics 5000
really would appreciate if anyone knew it its gonna work

tulip saffron
#

It can work. I can't guarantee it will work well... You'll need to use x264 encoding, and depending on the CPU, it might struggle. What CPU is it?

#

@merry bough

merry bough
#

4x Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4260U CPU @ 1.406GHz

tulip saffron
#

ooooof. That clock speed is very low, and it's a much older CPU

merry bough
#

yea the mac is around 5 years old

tulip saffron
#

If it was running at like 3.5-4 GHz I would say sure

#

As-is, I'm gonna say it's going to struggle pretty hard at the very least.

#

Running the elgato won't be a problem necessarily, but encoding for a stream is going to hurt

merry bough
#

Especially when its to be used to stream

tulip saffron
#

It may in fact be possible to stream on that, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

#

If you can't afford new hardware, I would dabble and tweak as much as possible. You might be able to get 720p30 stream if you're lucky. IMO 480p might be a more realistic target.

merry bough
#

I also have an extern monitor, but dont think it would help

tulip saffron
#

Nope. Definitely wouldn't help

merry bough
#

My desktops specs I know for sure arent going to be enough so I had hoped my mac could

tulip saffron
#

😬

merry bough
#

Intel(R) Core (TM) i3-4160 CPU @ 3.60 GHz with 8 GB ram & NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti - this pc wouldnt be able to run the hd60 either, right? @tulip saffron

tulip saffron
#

I was going to bed at 2am, but if you want to take to DM I could give some more specific advice?

merry bough
#

sure

tulip saffron
#

Yeeeaaaahhhhh

#

Could we get a second opinion from an Elgato tech on this one?

#

Can an i3-4160 technically speaking run the HD60S?

#

If it can we can offload the workload onto the NVENC chip, but would just like a second opinion from a hardware specialist? I'm a bit out of my depth on older tech like this

floral jetty
#

Elgato staff doesn't monitor this room. Since its under the system specs its not truly supported but may work if you are offloading to gpu. You can contact support and get a more definitive answer at http://e.lga.to/phone They should open in about 1 hour.
