Capture card for streaming and recording

The Elgato GTJP-SDI2USB is an external HDMI capture device that connects to a PC or Mac via USB 3.0. It accepts HDMI sources such as consoles, cameras or set-top boxes and presents them as a webcam input for OBS, Twitch, YouTube or similar software. No driver installation or external power supply is required.

USB 3.0 bandwidth and HDMI input limits

The unit captures at up to 1920x1080 resolution at 30 fps despite 4K pass-through on the loop-out port. USB 2.0 is supported but cannot sustain the higher frame rates. Audio is captured in WAV or MP3 format alongside the video stream. The HDMI loop-out adds no perceptible delay for live gameplay monitoring.

1080p 30 fps maximum capture rate

The decisive specification is the 1080p 30 fps capture ceiling; 60 fps output is not supported for recording or streaming. Buyers who need 60 fps at 1080p or any 4K capture should consider a different class of device. The card suits creators targeting standard 1080p 30 fps workflows.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 1080p 30fps or the 1080p 60fps version for my stream?

The card captures at 1080p 30fps maximum; the 60fps figure in the title refers to the HDMI loop-out pass-through, not the recorded stream.

What does the 1080p 60fps label mean when I actually record or stream?

You will record at 1920x1080 resolution and 30 frames per second; the 60fps applies only to the zero-delay HDMI loop-out for your monitor.

Does the USB 3.0 connection let me capture at 60 frames per second?

USB 3.0 provides the bandwidth, but the hardware caps capture at 1080p 30fps; 60fps is available only on the HDMI loop-out port.
