With advanced hardware H.264 encoding, you can capture in stunning HD quality, while keeping the file size low. The game play is passed through to the TV via HDMI - in pristine quality, without delay. Elgato Game Capture HD doesn't need a lot of cables or even a power supply to record your game: With direct Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 input, you can use a single cable to connect it to your console. The included software makes it easy to capture every move you make, even if you forget to press the record button: The unique Flashback Recording feature lets you time shift your game play, so that you can simply slide back in time on your Mac or PC and hit the record button retroactively.

Even better, the tailor-made Elgato Game Capture HD software allows you to quickly trim your gaming scenes and pass them on to your favorite editing software.
