Capture purpose
The Elgato ZY-UCH602 is a 4K-input HDMI capture device that records or streams at 1080p 60fps. It connects consoles, DSLRs or camcorders to a PC, Mac or Android host for live production, broadcasting or video conferencing. The HDMI loop-out lets you keep playing on a local monitor while the capture feed goes to the computer. No internal installation is required.
Thermal noise power
The unit is a compact external dongle powered entirely from the host USB port. It runs silently with no moving parts and draws only the current the USB specification allows. Under continuous 1080p 60fps capture the enclosure stays warm but not hot, and no fan noise is added to the recording environment. A desktop or laptop with an Intel i5-class CPU, 4 GB RAM and a graphics card is recommended for sustained operation.
Software accessories
OBS, VLC and Amcap are natively recognised without driver installation on Windows, macOS and Android. The bundled loop-through cable enables pass-through monitoring so the source display remains active while streaming. Plug-and-play operation means no firmware updates or configuration utilities are required before the first broadcast. Users who need 4K recording or multi-channel audio mixing will need a different capture solution.

Questions about this item
How do I connect the HDMI loop-out so my monitor still shows the game while the card captures it?
Plug the source into the capture card HDMI input, then run a second HDMI cable from the loop-out port to your display; the card passes the 4K signal through unchanged while sending 1080p60 over USB to the PC.
Will the USB cable or HDMI ports wear out and need replacement?
The USB 3.0 cable and HDMI connectors are rated for thousands of cycles; under normal desk use they last years, but keep spare cables handy for high-traffic streaming setups.
At what point does sustained 1080p60 capture start dropping frames?
Frame drops appear first when the host CPU falls below the Intel i5-class requirement or RAM dips under 4 GB, because software encoding cannot keep pace with the 60 fps stream.
