Product identity

The Elgato 679263979950 is an external HDMI capture device that accepts a 4K signal at 30 Hz and delivers a 1080p stream at 30 Hz over USB 2.0. It is aimed at streamers, educators and remote workers who need a simple way to bring a camera or console feed into OBS, VLC or Potplayer on Windows, macOS or Linux.

Setup requirements

Your computer must meet the minimum CPU guideline of an Intel Core i5‑3400 desktop processor or a Core i7‑3537U mobile chip running at 2.0 GHz. A free USB 2.0 port is required for both data and power, and an HDMI cable is needed to connect the source device. No separate driver installation or external power adapter is necessary.

Sustained operation

The unit draws a maximum of 0.4 A at 5 V DC from the USB bus, so it remains powered as long as the host port supplies current. Video is encoded in YUV or JPEG formats at up to 1080p30, and the compact 64 mm by 28 mm by 13 mm enclosure has no active cooling, making thermal behaviour dependent on the host system’s airflow during long sessions.

Questions about this item

Does the capture card include the HDMI and USB cables or must they be purchased separately?

The card itself is supplied without cables; you need an HDMI cable from the source device and a USB 2.0 cable to the computer.

Should I choose the 4K input model or a 1080P input model for my Nintendo Switch?

The Switch outputs 1080P maximum, so this card’s 3840×2160@30Hz input capability is not required; a 1080P input card would be sufficient.

What does the 3840×2160@30Hz input figure mean when I record in OBS?

The card accepts a 4K 30 Hz signal but downscales it to 1920×1080@30Hz YUV/JPEG over USB 2.0, so OBS always receives 1080P 30 fps.
