Your Games, Recorded And Streamed

The capture card market isn't a particularly flashy segment when it comes to consumer tech. As an example of captured footage, this clip below of Forza Motorsport 6 on the Xbox One was pulled using the HD60S. Gaming consoles like Xbox, PlayStation, Wii and computer graphics cards are all compatible with HDMI inputs. Game Capture HD—the name of the program—allows you to configure streams and record gameplay in a heartbeat.

It can record in a Full HD resolution, which is what every gamer will be looking for, but don't expect the video quality to be able to compete with Elgato's or AVerMedia's premium capture cards. If making videos about games is something you do often, then the HD60 S is a not just a solid investment-it's among the best of the best of capture equipment right now.

Razer's own capture and streaming software is, to put it gently, total junk. Evolve your content with built-in live streaming to Twitch or YouTube and why not add a webcam, overlays and more to enhance your content. Otherwise, you will have a USB-C 3.0 cord of decent length and 2.5 ft long HDMI cord, which is typically about the size HDMI cord that comes with most gaming elgato software not working devices.

I feel that it is a sunset industry, since GPUs and computers can capture themselves way better than most capture cards can, and current-gen consoles can capture themselves too - albeit with some limitation thanks to poor hardware and weak CPU, but this will change with the next generation.

Editing software - The capture card also comes with Cloner Alliance's own free editing software. Stream or capture in 1080p image quality, in 60 frames per second. For viewing other than capture card, the Elgato Game Capture HD comes with the ability to quickly cut footage into sections at any point on the timeline.

The app makes it easy to configure services like YouTube or Twitch for live streams, and even contains basic editing functions for manipulating recordings in post. In fact, data transfer is so fast between the Razer Ripsaw and the PC, that you could almost play the game directly in the capture window of OBS or Xsplit.

Their hardware hasn't let me down, and their Game Capture HD software is great and continues to improve. The port on the HD60 S is actually USB Type-C, and it plugs into your PC via the blue USB 3.0 port. Editing the length of the saved gameplay footage can quickly be done with the software as well (though heavy duty editing and such will need to be done with more advanced editing software… Sony Vegas, etc).
