elgato OCB5B0 USB 3.0 HDMI Capture Card 1080P 60Hz 4K Loop-Out Black

USB 3.0 HDMI capture card for streamers

The elgato OCB5B0 captures 4K HDMI input and delivers 1080P at 60Hz over USB 3.0. It uses YUY2 sampling for richer colour than MJPEG and adds a 3.5 mm microphone input for live commentary. The compact design draws power from the USB port so no external adapter is needed. Works with Windows and macOS without extra drivers.

Mic-in and loop-out change the workflow

A built-in 3.5 mm jack lets you plug a headset or microphone directly into the card, keeping voice synced with gameplay without a separate audio interface. The HDMI loop-out passes the original 4K signal to a monitor or TV while you record, so you play at full resolution while viewers receive 1080P. Plug-and-play support in OBS, XSplit, VLC and browser-based platforms means you can start streaming in minutes.

Handles 1080P60 capture with 4K pass-through

The card comfortably records or streams at 1080P 60Hz from consoles such as PS5, PS4, Xbox and Switch 2, plus cameras and PCs. It will not capture 4K — the encoder tops out at 1080P — so creators who need 4K60 recording should look elsewhere. The USB 3.0 connection provides enough bandwidth for the stated resolution and frame rate without dropped frames.
