The Elgato Chat Link Wire is a simple, easy and effective way to record your party chat with your Elgato capture card.
Elgato is very well known for its high definition capture cards with not just high definition but high quality, more recently they had a new edition to there ever growing list of brilliant capture cards, the HD60 Pro. Now Elgato has released this 1 wires solution!
Keith from The Outerhaven writes: As with all technology, eventually something will come along and replace the current standard, it never fails. It also never fails to happen right after you purchase that same piece of technology, sadly. Cause in point is news that Elgato is prepping to release a new capture device. Hinted over that Facebook page, Elgato posted the message “Bigger, Better, Faster, Strong. T-1 day #ElgatoNext”, along with the following image.
Very little but why make another 1080p60fps device? Only thing that I can think of is giving you the option for PC free.
Yeah I'm not sure what else they could do with it, also you can already get it to work with PC with a bit of tinkering around with audio settings.
PC free means you dont have to be connected to a PC or laptop in order to record gameplay. It saves onto an SD card instead of your hard drive like the Avermedia LGP. Class 10 SD cards with 64 GB and up are reasonably priced. 128 GB is $60 on Amazon and Im sure if Elgato were to go PC free they could partner up with a company to give you a discount on the SD card.
Just looked at their facebook page and they went the opposite of PC free. Its called the HD60 Pro and its a capture card that has to be installed in your computer. They say it offers super low latency for streaming.

My Avermedia Extremecap allows me to play straight off my PC with no delay (I actually bought it to use my laptop as a monitor) which they are probably going to mimic with the next elagato.
Examiner:
"With services like Twitch and YouTube live streaming becoming nothing but more popular, a new market of third party hardware that allows the general user to capture and upload those epic gaming moments straight to their site or channel has arisen. The Elgato Game Capture HD60 represents one of, if not the best total package systems on the market with a beautiful form factor, great built-in software suite, and overall capability that makes it the obvious choice for the aspiring streamer."
EB: One video game hardware maker has already released updated software for its HFR DVR to account for YouTube’s newest feature. The Elgato Game Capture HD60 in combination with the updated Elgato Game Capture HD software, can now live stream video game content to YouTube in HD with 60fps. The updated software can be downloaded today right from El Gato’s website.
