If you need to stream or record at a lower resolution, the Cam Link 4K can also work at 1080p, 1080i, and 720p. The Cam Link 4K utilizes a plug-and-play design with its USB Type-A connector and HDMI port. Moreover, it is compatible with Windows and Mac computers. Elgato includes a USB 3.1 Gen 1 extension cable, so you can connect to devices from a distance. Level Up Your Content For those who want their content to be visually captivating, you can use the Cam Link and hook up your DSLR, camcorder, or action cam to your Windows or Mac system. Plug & Produce Coupled with Cam Link, your camera appears as a webcam in all your favorite apps, including Game Capture, OBS, and Skype. Up to 1080p at 60 fps or 4K at 30 fps resolution keeps your stream professional while ultra-low-latency technology gets you up and running on YouTube, Facebook Live, Twitch, and more. Simplify Your Workflow Say goodbye to maxing out your memory card mid-shoot. When recording with Cam Link, all content is stored directly on your hard drive, while real-time, full-screen feedback lets you edit scenes on the spot. It's Showtime Whatever you wish to shoot, the Cam Link puts it live on your screen for mass distribution.

    Probably the best

    Avoid USB if possible and buy a PCIe device instead.

    • PCIe is always going to win out but for people with miniITX buids or laptop gaming setups on the fly, this is a solid solution.

      Just out of curiosity what is the boss of capture card setup atm?

      Is it…

        Given that this device is USB 3.1 gen 1, the bandwidth limitation means it can only do 4K@30Hz. You can also forget about HDR at 4K (just not enough bandwidth).
        If you are serious about 4K capture, PCIe is the only way. Thunderbolt 3 is a possibility, but makers would charge a premium on those.

        This one does feel like simply jumping on the 4K bandwagon. If you are serious about 4K gears, I would at least go for 4K@60Hz capable ones, preferably with HDR.

        • USB 3.1 spec itself has a bandwidth between 500MB/s to 1.21GB/s. That's 500+ Megabytes per second. On theory a USB 3.1 video capture stick could easily do 4K@60hz if the chipset supported it.

          Even USB 3.0 is plenty enough bandwidth to do 4K@60hz.
