Me. Can’t wait
Yes sir!

Me
Yo MidnightMan ive been doing my youtube thing but this is just the begining for me 2024 is going to be my year as long as i stay constistaint and fresh, happy to see you posting and see you in the next stream.
🙌🏽
Love it when your new videos come out. Thank you, and yes, to your question in the comments
Really great video, thankyou.
The video was epic and those capture especially the 4k X is for sure one of the greatest capture cards I’ve seen in a while.
❤
Also hoping on more streams soon maybe?
4K X is top dog for sure in the external capture card world! And yea more streams are coming this month I promise 🙂
@@MidnightMan awesome can’t wait.
Finally somebody compares the two
Awesome 👏🏽 video comparison bro, 😎 nice to see you get it, and great video explanation. Keep up the good work! Solid video God Bless
Thank you brotha! 4K X is a beast
@@MidnightMan 🔥 I definitely gotta get one soon, and update my monitor cause mine only 1080p 144 now it’s time to least have a 1440p 144 or 120 I’d do a 4K monitor if the price is right
Can you tell me what laptops have usb c 3.2?
@@AmondreBennett on @Midnightman Amazon store front he has tons of laptops that he recommends for streaming. Rather it’s Mac or Windows . The link on his profile
First, thank you very much for your support of these explanation videos. small help. with 4k X, How do I stream on multiple platforms, such as Facebook, UA-cam, etc., at the same time?
Let’s go this vid is gonna be epic ❤
Thanks for the video. Now I need help, I would like you to find me with which mini PC I will be able to use this capture card??? For streamer
He can you dual stream with this for example I could have OBS open and maybe a next app open also (dual record)
Nice vid broski… I’ve been looking for a way to setup a TikTok live studio stream using my iPad but I don’t know how to setup the audio for it…can you maybe do a video on that 🙈
compare with 4K Pro, which one is better to capturing 4k60 HDR ? i plan to use it to record my ps5 game.
Brother, I am watching you from Istanbul. I like your videos because they are very useful. I have a hyperx quadcast microphone and I am having problems with the sound. Can you recommend a program to fix this problem?
Appreciate that you put together all this it can do, How about capturing HDR videos in Mac ?
Yes it’s possible. Have to set OBS video settings in a particular way though
I have a question if you don't mind sir. I am starting up a gaming youtube channel. I will be playing from the Xbox x. My game monitor is a 65 inch Vizio lcd TV. What mini pc and small monitor do you recommend I get to do my editing. I will watch your OBS video again and thank you for all you do brother. Ps. I'll be using the 4k x card from this video unless you also have a diffrent one in mind to recommend. Thank you again.
Just bought it last week using it with my PS5! Thanks for all your help and the dozens of videos I watched of yours. With my PS5 steaming setup I am using:
- Elgato CamLink 4k
- Elgato Chat Link Pro
- Elgato 4K X
- Beelink Mini PC, Ryzen 7 Ser5 Pro 5700U (because my MacBook Air wasn’t powerful enough) THANK YOU FOR THIS SUGGESTION IN YOUR AMAZON LIST!
- Basic Tonar USB microphone (not best does job)
I am new to streaming and based everything and settings from you. I am also part of discord and thank you for that also it helps me and I help others.
When using PS5 people should remember to turn off “Ebable HDCP” in PS5 system settings
What kind of monitor do I need? A 4K one right
@@Ultimatesaiyannn mine isnt 4k I have LG monitor product number 34WL500-B I got it years back because I work from home and works just fine. Having a 4k would be nice though
@@Troyjl_3 Should've stuck with the HD60X based on what you have. The only real benefit of the 4KX is recording 4k120. The HD60X can do 4k30(the highest that ps5 games output), 1440p60, and 1080p60. Not to mention it will allow you to play your games at 120fps.

Amazing Video ❤
Thank you! 😊
Okay @MidnightMan I’ve found you recently and you’ve been a big help. The Mac streaming game is a struggle. I have a question no one has an answer to that you seem to have no problem with. Bear with me.
My setup: Xbox Series X, Astro A50X, LG C2 Evo, 2022 M2 MacBook Pro.
Currently using a HD60 X.
Was researching and planning on getting the 4k X. Until I started seeing multiple people online having issues with the 4K X on macOS.
People are reporting the 4K X is being identified as a 5Gbps device by Macs across the board instead of a 10Gbps device. Causing it to only capture at tops 4K 30fps. No HDR either. I’ve heard this from people using M1, M2 Ultra, and M3 MAX believe it or not. In your video this doesn’t seem like a problem for you. Unless I missed something.
Please let me know what you think about this, if there’s a solution or if there’s not. Looking forward to a full setup video from you utilizing this card on Mac for some clarity if you don’t respond to this. Thanks for the content.
You don't need it trust me. Current gen consoles tend to only play 4k games at 30fps which the HD60X already covers. Also the HD60X is already capable of 120fps passthrough
I have a 2019 MacbookPro 6 core intel i7 processor. I’m using it to stream on twitch through obs. Right now I’m just watching UA-cam videos on my 2022 IpadPro 4th generation. And video capturing the iPad and using my iPhone 14promax as my webcam. When I record it looks perfect and I can edit and post on UA-cam, BUT when I stream it is incredibly laggy! I don’t use a capture card and was wondering if that would take the lag away. And if so which one should I buy for my MacBook. The hd60x or the 4kx . I do have my ps5 and was also thinking about streaming that as well. Your videos have been very helpful since I am trying to stream with all Mac devices. Please let me know how I can get the most out of my MacBook to get rid of this lag. I was going to to Best Buy tomorrow to buy whatever else I need to make it run smooth.
I have a question about 4k elagto if you can help. I recently switch the tracks on OBS with elgato to where my mic & gameplay are recorded separately but now there’s a crackle throughout video, Anyway to fix this or does elagto/mic have to be in same track ?
I just wanna know if the chat link pro work with any capture card please?
Will the elgato 4k x do 4k60 on iPhone 15pro
Should I get the hd60x if I want to capture my phone screen to pc? I'm using the s23 ultra right now. Not sure if getting the 4k x would make much of a difference.
how can I get the best quality content for 1080? I got a cheap 4k capture card and a scepter 32' curve 1080 monitor
Please help me, when i want stream for my ps5, (for USE 4kx, and Streamlabs) What is is recommended output resulation in obs? Thank U so much. Today ordered the 4kx from USA 😃
Will the dell g3 1500 be a good enough laptop to stream with thus new capture card onto ps5 twitxh?
@1:27 does a MacBook Air from like 2016 have this?
That's one thing i'm having trouble with with obs and my chatlink I can hear the game an everyone but I don't hear Myself on my stream or on obs? Is there something I'm missing also I alo have headsets an the 3b pulse headset no mic except for the mic that's already on my windows 11
When you said ultra wide capture is coming in the future with the Elgato, do you mean through like a software update ?
Yes a driver update
can this be used in serb it up ona Apple Studio Display ?
Yo Midnight are we getting an updated setup tour any time soon?
I must tame my wires before doing this 🤣
@@MidnightMan understandable cable management is so difficult especially if you keep adding to your setup
I have a 2019 MacBook Pro Intel i9. Is there any possible way for me to play on 1440p 120fsp? So far I'm only able to do 60 fps or just 1080p 120 fps only on a Xbox.
Great information, unfortunately 4k x isn't available on amazon
How much of delay is there on the preview
Hello, do you know if having this capture card will solve problem with obs stutter. I just have one pc with RTX 4090 where i play and record and 4k tv with 120hz and vrr but my games runs at 4K 90-100fps so when i record videos on obs at 60 fps it makes video stuttering i guess because of out of sync frames, but when i cap my games to 60fps I don't have video stutter anymore... I heard its VRR problem with obs...I want smooth video at 60 fps and want to play on 120 fps.
What should i do? How you manage to record 120 fps games without stutter? Thanks a lot in advance!
What about if you have one pc and would like to capture your games
So with the HD-60X is Thunderbolt 4 cable overkill?
Does the 4KX work with a mini pc?
I play on PS5 with a monitor Samsung G6 what capture card can I use for best gaming resulotion
So the hdmi 2.0 difference with other bad hdmi cables will bug out so use a good short one atleast in the input that died it from disconnecting and reconnecting
I have the HD60X and on some games it says unsupported and it gives me 2 of everything on my screen does anyone know how I can fix that if I even can?
Help me out guys. I have the PS5, HD60X Capture Card, Rode PodMic USB, ChatLink Pro, MacBook Pro Quad Core i5. Am I good to go or am I lacking? I still have time to return the HD60X for the 4K X.
Can we use elgato hd 60 x mobile to pc for gaming..??
So we need the chat link pro still for party chat to be in stream?
Yes
Hey I really need the help on why my HD60 X is stuttering and skipping on my streams and recordings 😢 it’s breaking my mind
My 4K X got green tint and washed out colour in preview and recording on Mac and on windows :/ (unmatched colour in Source and output with greent tint and washed out colours)
Can’t seem to get my audio game capture to appear on OBS
i take it if I am not going to jump above 2k, and i mainly wanna capture for youtube videos, which will be 2k 60 fps anyway, i guess i should just get the hd60 x ???? EDIT: I have 2560x1440 144hz monitors, and i am not considering going up in the near future, maybe not even in 10 years quite possibly... But yeah, if i am only going to record at 2k 60 fps should i get the HD6 X ? in the website does not mention recordings being higher then 1080p 60
I have a Mac book 12 Farley new from Best Buy I have a el gato hd60x ever day it’s a battle to try and have my mac see the monitor screen everything works but my Mac itself isn’t picking up the game it’s just black the screen my webcam and myself are there but the game isn’t on the Mac it’s on the tv and everything’s running well but it’s always a battle everyday in plugging and plugging redownloading the one studio and deleting to redownloading what am I doing wrong. As I said I keep doing everything restarting computer powering off computer some times random techniques get it but it’s EVERYDAY. Please help anyone
Can it helpful and compatible for Church livestream with Nikon Z6 II with either OBS or StreamLabs?
As long as the camera has clean hdmi out it’s possible, might be more worth getting the camlink from Elgato instead tho
I just got the HD60x as I'm streaming as a hobby, and the quality is beautiful..obs 1080p 60 .. easy.
1:30
What do you mean? With anapter. Please explain. I have the dell g3 1500 so i think it will work well with this calture card with the ps5.
you can use any usb-c to usb-a adapter as long as your computer's port speed is SS
Hey 1st off thank you for your videos, very informative!! Question tho?? I have the HD60x and using it on a xbox series x. Anyway I went into the xbox settings and set it to speakers and headphone to capture my party chat. I use obs with streamlabs plugin and it did not pick up my party chat. I then downloaded the elgato software to switch the audio from HDMI to analog and that did indeed work, but the audio is super super low with everything turned all the way up in obs. My question is, can I just avoid downloading the elgato software, am I doing something wrong, idk can you help please??
You can add a gain filter to your audio source in OBS for the HD60 X, that way it'll be louder!
@MidnightMan Thank you so much I greatly appreciate your help, your advice did the job and now everything is working great!! Just starting my channel and this is all uncharted territory, you and your videos are making things alot easier for me. Thanks again!!
You forgot to say that the 4K is not able to record 4K60fps on M chipset Macs, since those systems are only registering it as a 5 Gpbs device and as such, maxes out at 4K30fps. Elgato knows about the issue for a while now, but still hasn't provided any solutions, so anyone who is planning to record on a M1-2-3 Mac, should stick to the HD60X.
What's weird is that yes, for me it's also coming in at 5Gbps but yet I can still choose to record in 4K60 and even 120. I'm working to get more info as to why this is. I could have possibly been shipped a card with updated firmware as I got mine sent directly from Elgato.
Can you use the 4kx with macbook air with m3 chip and chat link
Yes!
I’m seeing a lot of conflicting reports with regards to 4K 120 fps pass through & capturing with the 4K X on MacOS. Can this be done through OBS?
Yes, it works
@@MidnightMan thank you, you just cost me £230 😭
Will you be doing stream for reviewing gaming channels soon? Cant wait for you to review mine:)
Yes, we will be doing one this month! Stay tuned!
@@MidnightMan Can’t wait!
@@MidnightMani guess today is the day! Last day of the month :)
I’ve got an HD60 X and a 4K 144Hz HDR monitor, so I’m thinking of upgrading to the 4K X.
Well i bought the HD60 X last year to start streaming my PS5 from Obs with my M2 Mac 16" and my only issue is that i am limited to 1440p if i wanna play at 120Hz...
Definitely can get behind this and has been good enough so far, but i do see myself eventually buying the new 4K X to get the higher 4K res my LG C2 supports at 120Hz.
it's just that entry price tho lol... super expensive upgrade !
Thank you for letting us know about this 🙏 Awesome video ❤🤝
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed! Playing and recording using HDMI 2.1 tech is at the furthest end away from budget right now since 2.0 is still the standard.
So my PS5 is playing on a 1440p 144hz monitor which one would I really need for it @MidnightMan????
HD60x can play up to 1440p120, so that would be good for you
How do you setup the new a50x and ps5 with the new 4k x to hear the audio, all at once.
what to use instead of quicktime?
OBS, this is strictly regarding recording, not viewing
Does tthat mean i can play in 4k 120fls whhilst streaming on twitch on my ps5 via my capture card and using OBS? 😁
yesssirr!!
What is the monitor your using
BenQ ex3210u, also linked in description!
Ill be playing on 4k and recording on 2k on my ps5. Which one should i get ?
Which one did you get? I’m in the same situation
I just bought the HD60x this past weekend 😅
ahhh, still a great card but now the upgrade bug might catch you sooner
I bought mine a few months ago. Like I paid like 190 🙄
I have mac m2 32ram and i have elgato 4k x I just want record my game play on ps5 at 4k 60 without dropping frames can someone help me ?
May need to drop your bitrate down some, and make sure your using the hardware encoder. My M1 max was able to handle 4K60 pretty well
I don’t like that when turning HDR the capture decreases to 1440p 60fps.
I can’t believe there’s no 120fps format 😤
If I play my games at 4k 240 and want to capture at 60 hz 4k will this still be an issue? I have a 4090 and have used AVerMedia Live Gamer Ultra 2.1 but had issues so I returned it right away.
4K240 is not a supported resolution, as per the chart it only goes up to as high as 4k144 MAX
@@MidnightMan so you can’t play even in 240 hz at 4k ? I just want to record in 4k 60hz
Not with any capture card today. Not possible yet
@@MidnightMan thanks for replying. I’m still confused how it’s setup then because the two pc refresh rates don’t need to be the same . Don’t most people play in 240hz and record on their streaming pc in 60hz ? This elgato capture card is supposed to do 4k 60hz. I’m not talking about doing pass through btw. I know I can’t do that at 240hz 4k.
So what your saying is I can stream 1440p 120hz on my PS5?
you can record in that, not stream because streaming platforms don't support inputting that quality. The benefit of this capture card is to play games in super high refresh rates and resolutions while recording in those qualities. Stream quality will not change.
So the newer card has MORE latency than the older one?
That appears to be so from the tests. I think there’s room for flexibility in those numbers, but either way it’s practically the same
What kind of Desktop will I need to run the 4k capture card?
Not something crazy actually.
A 6core processor either from Intel and amd and maybe a Gtx 1650 or preferably something from the rtx line like rtx 3050 up. You can also try the rtx 2060. Preferably 12-16gb of ram. Dual channel of course.
Are you playing in 4k on your pc or console? It’ll be hard to play in 4k new titles with a budget - mid range GPU. If you are playing 4k on ps5 it should be fine to record and edit with.
@@JusH25 I play in 4K on my PS5 when i use my TV. However, when i stream, i run the feed through my Elgato HD60s+. So the quality is knocked down to 1080p :/
I'm getting a new computer setup soon, and just wanted to know if it was worth switching to this card or not.
@@Just_Biscuit_Gaming if you’re okay with the 1080p quality, then Yh it’s totally fine. All the specs I mentioned above should be more than okay to do the capture. Even specs lower than that should be okay.
@@Testimony201 🙏🏻I appreciate you. Thank you.
Do u have a video on how to set the mic and headset using the capture card and ps5?
can it handle ultrawide resolutions? (3440x1440)
Not yet, it's coming
So can you play in 120 fps with the HD60 X
Yes, but not in 4K at 120. You can do 2K or 1080p in 120
cheers man
Hey, can I make a M2 streaming overlay
for you?
Once an M2 streaming overlay?
@@MidnightMan MidnightMan themed overlay lol. I just used two M's.
oh lol, yeah go for it!!
so ill need a monitor/tv that has an hdmi 2.1 in order to use the 4K X Capture Card
You don't "have" to, but you won't be getting the most out of it if you don't
@@MidnightMan so will i be able to record 4k 60fps Videos without the Hdmi 2.1?
Without HDMI 2.1, you'll be locked recording in 4K30.
Heads up everyone streaming/recording from the PS5 with the Elgato 4K X. If you have PC with Windows 11. PLEASE READ!!! After spending a week trying to get my audio to work and capture. I had to go to Sound settings. Scroll down to Output devices. Click on Elgato 4K X and make sure you Disable (Turn OFF) windows audio enhancements and/or spatial sound. NOTHING BUT LOVE FUTURE STREAMERS!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Which ones better 4k or HD?
4K is clearly better, but what's better for you will depend on the resolution your playing your games. If you're not playing your games in 4K120 for example, there's no need to get the 4K X, even though it's the best capture card.
@@MidnightMan okay because I play on ps5 so I’m just trying to find a cheap one for ps5 like less than $50!
less than 50, then go with the rybozen card here, it's good but you'll be playing your games in 1080p www.amazon.com/dp/B097DKNS1M?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzkennypow-20&creativeASIN=B097DKNS1M&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.1NPYZ4CPHU2U0&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d_asin
@@MidnightMan okay I’ll check it out!
Basically save money if you already have the hd60X
300 is crazy
does the 4 x support iphone 11 ?
Only iPad OS
@@MidnightMan 🤣I guess I have to return mine I bought it with get info
YOU WROG IT WORKS WITH IPHONE JUST NEED TO BE THE 15
Yo can I get my alerts sounds on my head set while streaming using a ps5 and a gaming laptop? 🤔 can't figure it out for the life of me 😂😂
You would need to listen through the computer, game audio (monitor and output game audio source in OBS) and your computer system audio.
I use streamlabs desktop
No problem if I have a monitor that has HDMI 2.0 because I have the Asus pg27aqdm no problem oh yes?
No problem
I didn't like it. Digitnow is better. 4K elgato lags when playing on screen. Same with the 60HD
Digitnow Capture 4K Pro doesn't have the problem. But the color does come out better on Elgato.
I've been using Digitnow 4K Pro for 3 years and I'm not leaving it.
4k x look just like Elgatohd60x midnight man
Basically, but with upgraded specs. A must for HDMI 2.1 users
Just bought the HD60X -.-
Maaaan the Latency is Ass, i dont have a TV but i got a monitor but indont want that crap latency through 1 monitor haha
The latency is just to the computer, not to the monitor/TV.
So just save the money and buy the hd60?
I would not get that card. HD60X is great for low resolution displays, but if you're doing 4K120 absolutely get 4K X
fuck i just bought an hd60 x
same here
The limitations of the HD60 X always got on my nerves, especially having to drop the resolution just to passthrough 120 Hz.
The 4KX seems like the most out of place, if not useless capture card yet. The only real practical thing it has over the HD60X is 4k60, which already rules out the console userbase. As for recording in 120hz, I don't see how that could be used in any way. The only way to really watch vids over 60fps is by self consumption. UA-cam, twitch, etc don't support it.
120 can be useful for creating smooth slow motion shots, but the biggest thing is the ability to play games in 4k120 with the 4K X, that can't be done with the HD60 X
So if u just stream on twitch no reason to buy this
Unless you want to play your games in 4K120 or 2k240 for example, then it’s totally worth it
Hey bro, how can i make my ps5 setup using mah asus, ty bro anyway, Jesus loves u
Are you kidding me 🤦🏽♀️ I just bought the Hd60
it goes like that sometimes ahh 😅
