1080p 60fps USB-C capture

The Elgato HU-03C captures HDMI video at up to 1080p resolution and 60 frames per second. It connects to a host computer through a USB-C port using USB 2.0 bandwidth. Windows, Linux and Mac OS are supported without additional drivers. The device targets streamers, educators and meeting hosts who need simple game or camera capture.

Silver housing with HDMI and USB-C

The silver aluminium enclosure carries an HDMI input and a USB-C output for the host link. A USB-C to USB-A adapter is included for older ports. An LED shows link status. The compact external form factor suits desktop or mobile setups where a permanent internal card is impractical.

USB 2.0 bandwidth limits capture

The USB 2.0 interface caps throughput, so 1080p 60fps is the practical ceiling; 4K input is accepted but recorded at 1080p. High-refresh gaming above 60 Hz or 1440p capture is not supported. Users needing 4K 60fps or multi-channel audio should consider a USB 3 or PCIe alternative.

Questions about this item

What resolution and frame rate does the USB 2.0 connection limit the HU-03C to in practice?

The USB 2.0 interface caps recording at 1080p resolution and 60fps, even though the HDMI input can accept a 3840 x 2160 signal at 60 Hz.

What physical space and ports does the HU-03C need to fit and connect?

The compact silver and black external box needs a free HDMI input from the source and a USB-C port on the host; a USB-C to USB-A adapter is included for older ports.

How is the HU-03C installed, and what step do users often miss?

Plug the HDMI source into the capture card, connect the USB-C end to the computer, and select the device in OBS or similar software; no driver install is required, but users often forget to choose the capture device in their streaming application.
