Question / Help Two Capture Cards?

[JustinA]

Is it possible to use two capture cards? I tried using an Elgato Game Capture HD AND an Elgato HD60. That didn't work. OBS only recognized the Game Capture HD.

Can someone give me a definitive answer, or point me to the right information? I'm sticking with the old Game Capture HD, but I'm open to returning the HD60 and getting something else if that is required.

Thanks in advance.

Requires support from the drivers.

So then This particular manufacturer does not work? What about if I used an avermedia card, has anyone successfully used those two manufacturers?

Look here for Elgato info: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/2-elgato-one-pc-with-obs-stream.47937 . From that I conclude that the Game Capture HD can't be paired with another Elgato device. And the HD60 can only be paired with one of the more modern HD60s, like the HD60 Pro.

Mutliple Avermedia PCIe cards work from what I've read.

What are your requirements, how much do you want to spend, and what kind of streaming PC are you going to use?

Is there something I need to do for a hd60 and hd60s to work together?

That is unfortunately a question only Elgato can answer.

I think @LtRoyalShrimp can help with a special driver, as indicated in the thread I previously linked.
