Corel announced their new HD video games capture device with some great features.

Fans of the Roxio Game Capture, which we reviewed last year, have been crying out for an HD version and Corel (Roxio) have answered back with the Game Capture HD PRO. The video capture device supports 720p, 1080 60i /30p and encodes in H.264. Not only does it capture, it can also stream your footage live to popular streaming website Twitch with voice over support. This is the first time support for streaming and voice over has been found included with the software, it means no messing around with 3rd party software, just click a button to start streaming!
We tried the Game Capture HD PRO recently and were very impressed. The built in live stream and voice over support are two features many people have requested but so far have not been found in any software – we expect this will be very popular with live streamers! The suggested RRP is $149.99/£129.99 which is cheaper than our current favourite capture device the Elgato at $199/£179. You can purchase it from the Roxio website here.
Does the Game Capture HD PRO have what it takes to knock the Elgato off the throne? We will have a full review online soon!
