Question / Help Using multiple capture cards at once?

[Pterotactical]

From what I've heard, it's possible.. but it's not working for me.
I have two capture cards plugged in. One is the Elgato Game Capture HD, the other is the Elgato Game Capture HD60. When I go under "Video Capture Device" the only device shown is the Elgato Game Capture HD.

Both capture cards work by themselves under the same profile. (Elgato Game Capture HD60 works under the Elgato Game Capture HD profile) But when both are plugged in at the same time, only one works. Trying to add another Video Capture Device using same device name gives me an error stating "A source using this device already exists". Is there a way to fix this so that the two cards are recognized as different? Or is using two capture cards not even possible?

Thanks.

I've heard this doesnt work with the same brand, card, but I could be wrong...

Hey,

It is NOT possible to use 2 Elgato capture cards at the same time. It is something we're looking into for the future.
