The following article is for a product that is now considered Legacy (EOL) status. Because of this, the information below may not match what is possible with current Elgato hardware and software. |
Elgato Game Capture HD60 S connects to the Xbox 360 using HDMI. It can passthrough video to a TV set also using HDMI. An HDMI cable is included in the box.
Inputs and Outputs
Elgato Game Capture HD60 S has two inputs, and two outputs:
HDMI In
This connects to a game console or other video source. Signals protected by HDCP can't be used.
Analog Audio In
This connects to an analog audio source, using an 3.5mm cable. This is audio line in, and not a microphone port.
USB Out
This USB-C port sends the raw video to your computer via USB 3.x. This high speed connection allows for the Instant Gameview low latency preview of the Elgato Game Capture HD60 S. The preview will only be delayed by 50-100 milliseconds.
The USB cable also powers the Elgato Game Capture HD60 S hardware.
HDMI Out
This sends the HDMI signal in real time to a TV or display, so you can play your game normally.
Setup Steps
Download and install the Elgato Game Capture HD S software, version 3.2 or higher:

Troubleshooting - No Image Appears On The TV
If your TV only supports 1080i or 720p, and not 1080p, then you may not get a video image when Elgato Game Capture HD60 S is first connected. The video may still appear in the software, but not on your TV.
The solution would be to set your Xbox 360 to output video to 720p or 1080i - whatever format your TV can support.
