This product is absolute rubbish if you want to live stream with iPhone and iMac. One last thing to note if not already obvious to use this device: you need to disable HDCP as well. For $480 i should've gotten an E-ATX glass PC case instead but hey at least it came with shiny gold plated cables. Whats in the box: for $480 you get 2 gold plated usb-c cables, a 2.5v 3a power adapter with interchangeable plugs, a gold plated hdmi cable, and that device that doesn't turn on.

In case you're wondering if it's a PC hardware issue, this was tested on a 3 day old brand new custom built PC with 16 cores/32 threads, RTX 3090 and a clean install of Windows 10, without any other USB devices attached so no, it's not an issue with my hardware. They ought to know a thing or two about quality control, and not ship out defective products. This is a very poor experience for a supposedly premium product made by a supposedly premium company, whose parent manufactures DDR4 memory sticks. Plugging it into a PC, Windows complained about unrecognized usb device, and it did not detect any video capture source at all. Tried again, nothing happened, and yet another time at a different power supply outlet, still no joy. So I followed the instructions using the included power supply and connected everything up.

The product came with a very thin quick start guide, with pictures showing how to connect the cables and the different LED light status. Not a big problem for me as I use laptops but if you are using a desktop and connect your main display with the Elgato in between, that may be something to consider. My only con at the moment is that when my recording computer isn't turned on, and thus isn't powering the Elgato, the pass through doesn't work. I did try it out just to see what it did and it looks really interesting if your main goal is streaming and you're just starting out. Now I don't use the software that comes with it having already used OBS for a long time so I can't comment on that. I've since started streaming as well and this little device has become a staple in my setup. I don't need 4k capability and thus didn't go for the pro but imagine the experience would be similar. The Elgato HD60S has turned out to be an excellent choice to enable this. After screen recording with Windows Game Capture for game development tutorials I do I started running into issues with how much my PC could handle and decided I wanted to capture footage through a second machine.
