The Elgato Cam Link 4K is an HDMI-to-USB capture card that turns your DSLR, mirrorless, camcorder or action camera into a professional webcam for streaming, video calls and recording, with quality up to 4K60 and ultra-low latency.
It is a plug-and-play device the size of a flash drive: connect your camera’s HDMI output to one end and USB 3.0 to your computer, and the camera appears as a webcam in your favourite apps with no drivers to install.
