How to set up a capture card with PS5

PS5 capture card Assembling the capture card

There's many different kinds of capture cards, each with advantages and disadvantages. For this guide, I'm going to assume you're using an Elgato HD60 S or a similar card. If your card is directly plugged in via a PCI connection, you can skip to the next section below.

  1. The Elgato HD60 S comes with two cables: a USB-C to USB 3.0 cable and an HDMI cable. Plug the USB-C cable into the Elgato's USB-C port.

  2. Plug the USB 3.0 end of the cable into your computer or laptop. It must be plugged into a USB 3.0 port or else the Elgato won't function properly.

  3. Plug one end of the HDMI cable on your PS5 into the HDMI In port on the Elgato.
  4. Now, take the HDMI cable that came with the Elgato and plug one end into the HDMI Out port.

  5. Plug the other end into your TV or monitor.
  6. If you have the optional Elgato Chat Link, plug one end into the Audio In port on the Elgato HD60 S.

PS5 capture card Changing PS5 settings

Regardless of your exact capture card setup, you'll now have to tweak some settings on your PS5 in order to use the card. If you don't have a card capable of recording 4K 60 FPS gameplay, you'll need to set your resolution to 1080p. PS5 does not currently support 1440p resolution. Even if you can capture 4K 60 FPS gameplay, you'll also need to disable HDCP.

  1. Go to **Settings*.
  2. Scroll down and select System.
  3. Select HDMI.

  4. Now, disable HDCP.

HDCP refers to High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection and is meant to keep you from streaming things like Netflix shows. Please do not do that. With HDCP disabled, you can now stream or record gameplay through your capture card.

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
