Elgato 4K Capture Utility, developed by Corsair Memory, Inc., is a specialized screen-capture program designed to record uncompressed 4K video directly from Elgato Game Capture hardware. Tailored for gamers, streamers, and content creators who demand broadcast-grade fidelity, the application leverages the onboard H.264/H.265 encoders of Elgato 4K60 Pro, 4K60 S+, and HD60 S+ cards to capture gameplay, camera feeds, or any HDMI source at up to 2160p60 without placing additional load on the host CPU. The current stable release, version 1.7.16.10419, arrives as the seventeenth iterative update since the utility’s debut, refining multi-track audio handling, improving automatic file naming conventions, and expanding compatibility with the latest AMD and NVIDIA GPU drivers. Typical use cases include recording high-frame-rate console sessions for YouTube compilations, archiving competitive matches for post-match analysis, capturing clean camera footage for green-screen workflows, or simultaneously streaming to OBS while the utility records a pristine local master. A built-in timeline editor allows rapid trimming and chapter marking, while flashback recording continuously caches the last hour of gameplay so memorable moments are never lost. Session management supports individual bitrate targets, color-space selection (Rec. 709 or Rec. 2020), and split recording across multiple drives to avoid file-size limitations. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
