Elgato’s 4K60 Pro unlocks 4K footage for YouTube and Twitch creators

Elgato is ready to jumpstart the 4K-content revolution for YouTube and Twitch creators with its newly announced 4K60 Pro capture card. This is a new PCIe component that enables your PC to record video at 2160p (4K UHD) and 60 frames per second. It will launch November 21 for $400.

This is an important new product for Elgato and everyone who makes gaming-related video and doesn’t work in a professional studio. We’ve had 4K gaming for a while on PC and PlayStation 4 Pro, and now Microsoft is joining that trend with its updated Xbox One X console. But getting that content off a console or off a PC without hurting performance is difficult and expensive. Existing hardware for capturing 4K video at 60 frames per second starts at around $800, and these products are not built with gaming in mind. That can cause some headaches for people trying to use them with a PS4 Pro, Xbox One X, or even PC.
