Hello everybody! :)! In this video I go over with my plans to upgrade from the HD60 S to 4K60 Pro. I actually first discovered this Capture Card in this video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1wRJ69ArnQ. Despite this Capture Card supposedly not being able to work with Laptops (link is shown in the following:https://gaming.help.elgato.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2898490-elgato-game-capture-4k60-pro-does-not-work-with-any-laptop), there is one that would have everything except a PCIe slot. Here is the link to said laptop:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071XDXLPG/ref=abs_brd_tag_dp?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER. Here is the link that shows the requirements of the 4K60 Pro Capture Card:https://www.elgato.com/en/gaming/game-capture-4k60pro. If you looked over it the laptop in question would have quite literally all of the requirements except a place to hold a PCIe card. And of course, unlike the HD60 S (or its previous incarnations), the PCIe capture card can not (cannot) simply be left on the ground. A device that seems like that could work (that I first discovered about how it works in the following video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=36&v=LN7prQBjRNc) is an AkiTio Node, which is an external PCIe Box that would help to activate the Capture Card, as I don't think that just simply leaving it on the floor will suffice. Probably one of the more interesting things about the Elgato 4K60 Pro is that it uses HDMI 2.0 cables, and that they are backwards compatible with previous HDMI ports, with as illustrated in the FAQ portion of the following link:https://www.cablestogo.com/tech/hdmi-2. Perhaps one of the biggest ironic things about this video is that I have actually upscaled the quality of the video from 720p to 1080p with the help of an upscaling software called (on the mac App Store) "Free 4K converter." I could not go to the 4K because of a combination of changing to a different laptop that has a different type of processor (not a macOS one, but more likely a Windows OS on) and that the complete version needs to be paid for to use the (as well as many other) 4K features. A fun thing about YouTube is that they are capable of displaying videos in resolution formats that are higher than 1080p, like 4K (and even higher) as the following link illustrates:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgJITGvVfR0Something. Note that while this video only goes up to 4K, I've seen videos that go up to even much higher resolutions than this. While I could simply upscale the resolution of my videos, apparently upscaling a video to a higher resolution is not going to be as good in quality as it might have been if it were initially encoded in the exact same resolution, as I have learned in the following video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pn4F6cid1Mg. What is almost as ironic is that the YouTube-selected screenshot for this video features the HD60 Pro and not the 4K60 Pro. Interestingly, this same screenshot is the exact same as the one shown here for the four out of the five time this video was uploaded privately. The reason why it was uploaded privately five times was because I wanted to see if the video was going have the the quality settings that I was looking for. Fun fact, Liquivid Video Improve actually has the feature to adjust the framerate of the video (as evidenced by the "60" in 1080p60 and even 720p60). I don't remember explicitly if it was the Free 4K Converter video software or because the first two videos combined here were not set to go 60. I believe that it may be the first one (the former) because I think (believe) that I had the framerate settings set to "60 " when I used Liquivid Video Improve to merge the three videos (the first two not having the most optimal settings of the Elgato software on the software that I would like and instead having essentially the default settings of the Elgato software) together, although I could be wrong. And while I am still giving advice, you can actually (if you haven't known before) record from your phone with a device that has an HDMI port and a connector that connect in to the particular phone in question, and your good. One such device that has actually worked for me is in the following link:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075JB2S61/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I know that I've said that I was going to put one or two examples of how it works, but I don't think that I need to because I feel that I don't need to explain because the process is actually really simple. Also, there is apparently a limit to how much you can put in the description of a video, so I can't put in all of the links, so sorry about that, as I have tried to put in at least most of the relevant links at least. And if you notice any names in the video, please ignore them as they hold no importance with the video.
Anyway, with that out of the way, I hope that all of you will enjoy this video, and that this video is much more than simply informative! :)!
