PLEASE NOTE - The Elgato Game Capture 4K60 Pro HDR upgrade program ended January 31st, 2019.
With the release of 4K Capture Utility 1.2, HDR pass-through has been enabled on Elgato Game Capture 4K60 Pro, letting you play in full 4K with HDR10 while recording and/or streaming in regular SDR color.
To support HDR pass-through, Elgato Game Capture 4K60 Pro needed an update, which we silently built into all Elgato Game Capture 4K60 Pros after July. That means some of you may have an earlier version of Elgato Game Capture 4K60 Pro that does not support HDR passthrough, and that stinks, right? We put some thought into this and…
Alongside the release of 4K Capture Utility 1.2, we’re also pleased to announce the Elgato Game Capture 4K60 Pro HDR upgrade program. We are giving everyone with a Elgato Game Capture 4K60 Pro the chance to upgrade to the newer version with HDR pass-through support, free of charge.
Ok, so how does it work?
Q: How can I check if my Elgato Game Capture 4K60 Pro supports HDR pass-through or not?
A: Download and install 4K Capture Utility 1.2. Once installed, open the settings menu and go to the device tab.
If you see a checkbox at the bottom to enable HDR, then your Elgato Game Capture 4K60 Pro supports HDR pass-through.
If you do not see that check box, then your Elgato Game Capture 4K60 Pro does not support HDR pass-through
