It is reasonably simple to get the Elgato HD60 S+ up and running. The absence of a user manual may present slight challenges with the nuances, but it is easy to figure them out. You can find plenty of information on the official website or watch a few instructional videos.
Here is the necessary procedure you need to follow:
- Connect your PC or console to the Elgato HD60 S+ via the HDMI “In” port
- Plug into your monitor or TV using the HDMI “Out” port
- Use the USB Type-C cable to connect to a USB 3.0 port on the device from which you are streaming
There is perhaps no other device that offers such efficiency and quality; all you need to do is “plug and play.”
Remember that you may not receive any images if even a single port in the chain is not a USB 3.0 port. Ensure the incoming signal is not encrypted- you may need to configure your console’s HDCP settings. It is critical if you use a PS4.
You need to have the Elgato capture app to gain access to advanced configurations of the unit, like enabling the HDR recording. Several gamers have highlighted this as an inconvenience, as opposed to being able to change settings via the capture software.
The Elgato HD60 S+ is compatible with almost all of the preferable streaming software available today. These include XSplit, OBS Studio, Streamlabs OBS, and other software that you may use. If these seem daunting, you can use the more straightforward 4K Capture and Game Capture programs by Elgato.
