You don't have to worry about adjusting any settings before recording, so the recording process itself becomes relatively painless. The super useful thing about the stand-alone recording is that the 4K60 S+ will optimize itself in real-time.

While the 4K60 Pro does something similar in terms of what it can capture, the S+'s extra portability is what you should care about. Yep, this is Elgato's first capture card to use stand-alone recording via an SD card, which is a massive plus for console games and a long-awaited feature from veteran Elgato users. For starters, it can capture 4K HDR gameplay directly to your PC or SD card. The Elgato Game Capture 4K60 S+ is for content creators who want to upgrade their channels in a big way.
