![]() Occasionally there are wavy distortion lines across the TV screen when the Elgato is plugged in, but these tend to disappear after a few moments. The software doesn’t have to be running, but without the connection the TV stays dark. One little quirk I learned is that once connected to the Xbox, the Elgato will not pass video to the TV unless the USB cable is plugged into a computer. A mini-USB port connects the card to the computer via a 2.0 port (no 3.0 compatibility sadly). The Xbox’s HDMI cable goes into one end of the card, and the included Elgato HDMI cable (which is very short) goes into the other end, which then connects into the TV. ![]() I am only a novice streamer, but I do have a voracious appetite for captures and recordings, so I tested all three modes on Elgato’s hardware. Contemporary fascination with gaming as a spectator sport and social media experience has led to greater demand for gadgets such as these so that people can upload, record, and stream their game du jour on demand. ![]() It’s slightly smaller than a smartphone and very lightweight, and has two HDMI ports (one in, one out) and a USB 2.0 port for the computer. The Elgato Game Capture HD is a streaming, screengrab, and recording device that connects between a gaming console and PC or laptop.
