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. |
When streaming and recording at the same time, Elgato Game Capture HD60 S uses Stream Copy - both your stream and recording will share the same resolution, frame rate and bit rate.
Some other Elgato products have a H.264 encoder chip, so they can use Master Copy - recording at one resolution while streaming using other settings.
