USB 3.0 HDMI Capture Card
The elgato GM-34A captures 1080p at 60 fps and 2K at 30 fps over USB 3.0 for live streaming and recording. HDMI pass-through handles 4K at 60 Hz input while the device records a lower-resolution stream. It is aimed at creators who need a compact, bus-powered capture solution for consoles or cameras.
Streamers using PS5, Switch or Xbox with a PC or Mac
The card works with Windows, macOS, iPadOS and Android tablets via standard UVC drivers, so no proprietary software is required. It will not suit users who need 4K capture at 60 fps, multi-channel audio mixing, or internal PCIe latency. Buyers wanting HDR metadata pass-through or 1440p at 120 fps capture should look elsewhere.
Sustained capture at 1080p 60 fps
Continuous recording stays stable within USB 3.0 bandwidth limits, and the aluminium body dissipates heat without active cooling. HDMI loop-out latency remains imperceptible during long sessions, while the 3.5 mm mic input and headphone output keep audio monitoring consistent. The unit draws power from the host port, so no external adapter is needed.
