Please Note: The Elgato Game Capture 4K60 Pro HDR upgrade program ended on January 31st, 2019
Elgato Game Capture 4K60 Pro can support HDR colors if you have the latest hardware and software version.
With the PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X came a next generation display and image format, called HDR. HDR, or High Dynamic Range, allows for a game to render with more colors and a capable TV to display those colors with much higher brightness and contrast ratio, providing a more realistic, accurate and vivid image.
With 4K Capture Utility 1.2, we’re adding HDR10 pass-through support to 4K60 Pro. Provided you have an Xbox One S, Xbox One X, PS4 or PS4 Pro and a HDR10 capable TV, you can now play in and experience HDR while capturing or streaming in SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) thanks to our built-in tonemapping. If you want to learn more about HDR, we’ve written up some details here:
Tonemapping: Why do Recordings and TV images look different when using 4K60 Pro HDR passthrough?
To enable HDR pass-through, open the settings of 4K Capture Utility, go to the device tab, activate the checkbox labeled “Enable HDR pass-through” and follow the prompts.
If after installing 4K Capture Utility 1.2, you do not see the option to enable HDR pass-through, your 4K60 Pro does not feature the new HDR capable hardware. We will, free of charge, replace your existing 4K60 Pro to one that is capable of HDR pass-through.
