Elgato Cam Link 4K

The Elgato Cam Link 4K is a compact, high-performance hardware dongle engineered to instantly upgrade your production quality by turning a professional camera into a high-end webcam. Perfect for content creators, remote professionals, and live streamers, it bridges the gap between traditional video capture and modern computers, allowing you to bypass low-quality standard webcams entirely.

By connecting to your computer via a high-speed USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A interface, the Cam Link 4K accepts uncompressed HDMI video signals up to 3840 x 2160 at 30 frames per second (or 1080p at 60 fps). This enables you to take full advantage of your DSLR, mirrorless camera, camcorder, or action camera’s superior optics, depth of field, and low-light performance.

Product Features in Detail

Pro-Camera Webcam Conversion
Cam Link 4K enables your computer to recognize high-end DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and action cams as a standard USB webcam. This lets you utilize superior lenses and large sensors for crisp, professional-looking virtual meetings, live streams, or virtual classrooms.

High-Detail 4K30 and 1080p60 Capture
The device supports multiple high-definition video pipelines. You can stream in a cinematic, highly-detailed 4K resolution at 30 frames per second, or opt for an ultra-smooth 1080p stream running at 60 frames per second for fluid motion.

Ultra-Low Latency Pipeline
Built with advanced hardware encoding circuits, the dongle keeps your video capture feed in near-instant sync with your computer. This ultra-low latency guarantees your mouth movements, gestures, and live reactions match your audio track perfectly during live broadcasts.

Designed with a driverless UVC framework, the device is completely plug-and-play. Simply plug the USB Type-A connector into your computer, hook up an HDMI cable to your camera, and select the device as your video input in your preferred software—no complex configuration required.
