One is forced to write in a subset of C (which is limiting enough and slowing progress down) and debugging is a pain (faulty function? System crash -> reboot) - it simply is not fun for me. From my past projects, I've learned: writing in kernel-space is very limiting and time-consuming. While developing USB in user-space using libusb / hidraw / hiddev is very mature, easy and fun, PCIe development in user-space is not so there is no way around kernel-space.

I would need to start from absolute scratch - I could not reuse anything from this project, since PCIe drivers would force me to write in kernel-space. It's just that it's very time consuming and I'm afraid I don't have that much freetime on my hands - just beeing realistic here. This is not because I'm not believing in myself or it's impossible. I'm sorry for letting you guys wait and disappoint you, but I'm afraid I cannot make it happen.

You can expect news about the Kickstarter project and during the past days, I've read about PCIe reverse-engineering and driver development and of course the HD60 Pro itself. I have lots of time on my hands over the weekend. I'm doing this for the community and I need your support. Lots of people are asking for it, therefore, I've decided to start a Kickstarter campaign to give you guys this opportunity. That beeing said, I have gained alot of experience in the process of reverse engineering the Elgato GCHD and I am sure, that I'm able to get the HD60 working under Linux aswell. The driver is extremely low-level and very specialized, therefore, there is no way for me to get the current driver working with the HD60, without having one for reverse engineering.

The HD60 will need to be worked on from scratch, as a different hardware is used and different features are offered.

If you change a single line of code, weird colors show up or the driver completely stops working.

Please note, that not even the new revision Elgato Game Capture HDs (non-HD60) are working with this driver, eventhough the differences are marginal.Ĭurrently, nearly 10k lines of code are needed, to set up the device (I'm sure, I can cut it down / refactor lots of parts, but ye, it's currently 10k). But until Elgato updates its external capture card to support 4K passthrough it falls behind the Ripsaw HD.The HD60 is a completely different device and therefore currently not supported by this driver. The HDMI 2.0 input and output makes this possible.įor streaming, it matches the HD60 S, with a USB-C 3.0 interface for virtually zero lag, and a 3.5mm audio input if you need to mix party chat from your console. The HD60 S doesn't have this, so if you really want your games to look their best while you're playing regardless of your stream, the Ripsaw HD has the edge.

What makes it better though? By virtue of launching in 2019, it's better equipped for today's streamer, especially those playing on PC or Xbox One X, and that's down to the 4K60 passthrough feature. It's fully supported in Streamlabs OBS, OBS Studio, and XSplit, covering all the big bases.

From there you just hook it up to your favorite capture or broadcast software. Setting it up is simple: you just need the Razer Synapse 3 application to ensure the right drivers and firmware are in place. That doesn't mean it's a bad capture card, not at all.īut if you're looking for the best of the two out of the Razer and the Elgato, the Razer is the one to get. The Elgato HD60 S was a little ahead of its time when it first launched, but as time passed, it's been surpassed in the hardware stakes by not only Razer, but also by AVerMedia.
