Elgato Game Capture 4K S

The Elgato Game Capture 4K S is a USB capture device for streaming and recording console gameplay in 4K60 with zero-latency HDMI passthrough, so play is never compromised. It targets creators working with current systems including Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, as well as PC, Mac, iPhone, and Steam Deck sources, and pairs with OBS Studio, TikTok Live Studio, Twitch, YouTube, and Discord.

HDMI 2.0 input passes through at up to 2160p60, 1440p120, or 1080p240 with variable refresh rate support, while capture covers 2160p60 down to 480p including 1080p120. HDR10 passthrough reaches 2160p60, with HDR10 capture up to 1080p60 on Windows. USB-C with UVC keeps setup plug-and-play across Windows, Mac, and iPad, preview latency drops as low as 30 ms, and a 3.5 mm analog audio input is built in.
