Connecting a DLSR, action camera, or camcorder through Cam Link makes it appear as a webcam inside preferred applications such as Game Capture, OBS, and video-conferencing programs. Resolutions up to 1080p at up to 60 fps or 4K at 30 fps support professional-looking streams, while ultra-low-latency operation helps you begin broadcasting through Twitch, YouTube, Facebook Live, and more.
Rather than using an SD card or another internal camera-recording medium, rely on the Cam Link's external capture capability. Footage is written directly to hard drives, simplifying later editing and archival processes. Elgato provides a complete camera-compatibility list on its website.
