Elgato Game Capture 4K60 Pro

Post by swcreating »

Has anyone tried this card with resolume? https://www.elgato.com/en/gaming/game-capture-4k60pro

We often do panoramic LED walls for corporate gigs (~2500 pixels wide x 5-600 pixels tall) and some presenters often want to create full screen panoramic presentations. Right now we have a black magic 4k 30p HDMI capture card, but this elgato one does 60p so it would give us smoother transitions and animations. Also since it's designed for PC gaming it can do computer resolutions, unlike the blackmagic, like 2560x1440 at 60p which is enough resolution for us 95% of the time. Capturing at 1440p would be less taxing on the powerpoint/keynote computer than running it at full 4k and it would work with our lower end powerpoint laptops that don't support 4k out.

The documentation says it's a Directshow based capture device so it should just show up in resolume as a source should it not?

Seems like a fairly decent value at $400 US
