Why this answer matters
Passthrough and capture are separate pipelines. Treating the passthrough maximum as the capture maximum leads to false 'device not working' diagnoses in OBS or capture software.

Requirements
What has to be true
- USB 3.0 5-Gb/s connection for the capture device.
- An unencrypted HDMI source in a supported input mode.
- Capture software configured to a mode the HD60 X actually exposes.
Verify it yourself
Use this test sequence
Change one variable at a time so you know which requirement made the difference.
- 1
Confirm the display receives the passthrough signal.
- 2
Then check the capture application's selected resolution/FPS independently.
- 3
If capture is unstable, test the HD60 X directly on a USB 3 host port before using a hub.
Limits
What this answer does not prove
- HDR capture support and available formats depend on OS/software as documented by Elgato.
- HDCP-protected HDMI content is a separate limitation and should not be treated as USB failure.
