Overview
The Hauppauge HD PVR Pro 60 is a high definition video encoder which has 4K HDMI in
and out (pass through) with a built-in down converter from 4K to 1080p and a hardware
1080 60 frame per second H.264 encoder. HD PVR Pro 60 can connect to either 4K video
sources, such as the Xbox One X and the PS4 Pro, or 1080p sources such as a PS4, Xbox
One, Nintendo Switch, a PC game system or the WiiU.
HD PVR PRO 60 can record in two ways:
• HD PVR Pro 60 recordings can be made onto a computer’s hard drive in a compressed
H.264 format. Hauppauge Capture, OBS, XSplit and Skype are applications which can
use HD PVR Pro 60 as a video source.
• HD PVR Pro 60 also has a standalone mode, where you can plug the unit into a USB
power supply (5v at .9 amp minimum) and record directly to a SD card (not supplied). In
stand alone mode, recordings are made in the .MOV file format. SD cards currently need
to be formatted as FAT32 and we have tested up to 256GB cards.
HD PVR Pro 60 also has a built-in audio mixer to record and stream game audio, game
commentary and multi-party chat.
HD PVR Pro 60 comes with the Hauppauge Capture application for Windows. Hauppauge
Capture can record 1080p60 video with an audio mixer to make volume adjustments for
game, microphone and headset audio. It also has a fast trim feature which preserves the
quality of the original video recording.
HD PVR Pro 60 records in a TS file format and can be converted to MP4 after recording.
Installing the HD PVR Pro 60 in the PC connected mode
Step 1: Connect the HD PVR Pro 60 to your PC
Connect the supplied USB Type-C to USB Type-A cable between the HD PVR Pro 60 and a
USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port on your PC.
ote: it is recommended to use a USB 3.0 port since some USB 2.0 ports do not
N
supply the 5v at .9amps needed by the HD PVR Pro 60.
Step 2: Connect HD PVR Pro 60 to your game console
If recording from a 4K console,
use a High-Speed HDMI v2.0
cable from your game console to
the HDMI In port on the back of
the HD PVR Pro 60. Otherwise,
you can use a standard speed
HDMI cable.
ote: HDR modes are not
N
supported.

Step 4: Install Hauppauge Capture

Operating HD PVR Pro 60 Standalone
HD PVR Pro 60 can be operated without being connected to a computer. To do this:
• plug the USB Type-A end of the supplied USB Type C to USB Type A cable to a 5V
.9amp minimum power adapter (the same type of power adapter commonly used to
charge phones and tablets).
• plug an SD card formatted as FAT32 into the SD card slot on the front of the HD PVR Pro
60.
• Set the switch on the side of the HD PVR Pro 60 from PC to SD. This directs the recordings to the SD card slot.
• Connect your headset and controller (if desired) into the Controller In and Headset Out
connectors on front of the HD PVR Pro 60.
• Hit the record button to start recording, and once again to stop recording.
• After recording, do not remove the SD card until the blinking green light becomes solid
green. This indicates that the recording is complete and you can remove the SD card.
You can change the bit rate of your stand alone recordings in Hauppauge Capture. Look in
the Advanced menu -> Standalone Mode. There are three bitrates you can select from.
Connecting your headset and game controller
HD PVR Pro 60 has a build-in audio mixer which can be used to mix together:
• game audio and third party game chat coming from your game controller
• game commentary from your headset’s microphone
Plug your game controller into the Controller In port using the supplied 4-pin 3.5mm cable.
Then plug your 4-pin 3.5mm headset into the Headset Out jack.
ote: when you plug a connector into the Controller In jack, game audio from
your HDMI source is disabled to prevent an echo. Instead, game audio will
N
come from your game controller through the Controller In jack. Game audio from your
controller will be mixed inside the HD PVR Pro 60 with headset microphone audio.

Connecting a microphone to add commentary to your recordings and streams
If you just want to add commentary to your recordings and streams, you can connect a microphone to the Headset Out port on the HD PVR Pro 60.
In this case, game audio will come from the HDMI In port and be mixed inside the HD PVR
Pro 60 with headset microphone audio.

• Red light: When HD PVR Pro 60 is powering on, the status light on top of HD PVR Pro

No video in the Hauppauge Capture preview window:
Step 1: Make sure HD PVR Pro 60 is listed in the Capture tab. If not, then please check
your USB cables and make sure the green light is on on the top of HD PVR Pro 60. If you
cannot see HD PVR Pro 60 listed, reinstall Hauppauge Capture. Power cycle the HD PVR
Pro 60 and reboot your PC after reinstalling the drivers.
Step 2: Check the video mode of your console. It must be set at either 4K 60fps,
1080p60 or 720p. If you are using a PC game system, check our website at:

Step 4: Check your HDMI cables. Remove each cable and make sure it’s firmly reseated into
each device you are using. If using HDMI cables, try swapping the HDMI cables.
Step 5: If the HD PVR Pro 60 green light is on after you start Hauppauge Capture and you
still see a black preview window, try recording some video. If you can successfully playback
a recording but you cannot see live video in the Preview window, enable hardware acceleration (select “hardware acceleration” in the Settings menu in Hauppauge Capture).
If capture fails, it is likely something is wrong with the video input to HD PVR Pro 60. This
could be a broken or loose video cable or you plugged the cables into the wrong connector.
