Elgato HD60 Pro video loop through

Hi,

I have a question regarding the Elgato HD60 Pro. As far as I know there exists no driver for this capture card for Linux.
I have Windows as a second operating system installed and I am using the card there.
The only thing I would like to do, is when I'm in Linux and start for example the Playstation, there is no video coming through.
So the Playstation ist connected via hdmi to the capture card and from there to the monitor (also via hdmi). When I just want to play a round,
I have to start Windows and switch the monitor to the hdmi channel for the Playstation and I can play. So no program has to run on Windows.
But when I am in Linux I don't get a video signal from the Playstation. I first thought, that the capture card only needs power and then the video signal
is looped through if you don't want to capture something, just to play, but this only works in Windows.
So I just would like to pass the video signal through, no capturing or something, so that I can play a round without booting to Windows.
Does someone knows if this is somehow possible?

Thanks in advance,
Marcus
