I really appreciate how you explained the product and really went in depth about comparisons and limitations of the USB counterparts.

[@elgato]

We're glad to hear that.

[@todaywithrhea917]

When Harris Heller (aka AlphaGaming) makes a video on a new Elgato product before Elgato does 🙄👀

[@tomswinden]

lol

[@LogisticAtom]

Can I connect my game to that also and use it as a capture card also??

[@MrPoseidonSays]

I ordered mine yesterday! I can finally get rid of the deck link quad. Horrible as far as live calls on a live steam does not have 2 applications so it won’t work period. I was ready to order a large mother board with 5 PCIe slots. Haha you saved me a few thousand!!! I have your 4K pro and works only with my one camera if I had to make a live call on streaming. No more. Thank you elgato!!!! I

[@MrClassicRobot]

Might be a bit of a stretch, but I’ve got a stream coming up later this year where I need 4 (actually 8, but I’ll be doing two different capture methods anyways), so this announcement came at an exciting time. That being said, I was previously leaning towards the recently announced Blackmagic ATEM Mini Extreme ISO because it can record the four separate inputs for editing later. Can I do that with this card, or is it simply 4 inputs?

[@METALSOULJAHGAMING]

DOES THIS REPLACE THE HD60PRO? OR DO THEY WORK TOGETHER? PLEASE ADVISE!

[@MichaelGirardot]

Any chance of mac support via PCIe to thunderbolt enclosures?

[@MatsuXL]

Is there a way to use a thunderbolt PCI like hub for laptops? Asking for a friend...

[@sebastianvangen]

2:35 Scary i'm going to have nightmares now.

[@CodeVenomSnakes]

lol that what happen if you have slow down on your webcam.

[@bhgemini]

Ordered it and can't wait to get some other views for my classes. I ran into the USB issue with my 2 Cam Link 4Ks so this looks to be the ticket 🤞🏽🍀

[@munshikaifur8010]

I have a ps5 a xbox and dual pc setup so i want to stream with both pc and consoles..... So can it do this??

[@papajoe7]

Can you do 8 camera input and 12 camera Imports if we you three or two of your capture cards in the computer what about for mobile years if we're out on the field we don't want to carry a big heavy computer what can we use to make it easier for I work for flow

[@nicduch]

why do you stay on the aging PCIE 2.0 4X instead of the current PCIE 3.0 4X? the more bandwidth would perhaps have allowed 2160p60 in 4:4:4 on the 4 HDMI ports

[@ags911]

Cost probably

[@robertoaguiluz7350]

Can you please release macOS Drivers for The Elgato Cam Link Pro or at least tell us why we don't get drivers?

[@JamesNino]

Is this going to return? I need one but it’s sold out everywhere!

[@theunkownmr.562]

Steggy, my man coming through as always!

[@hsjawanda]

Excellent explanatory video! Wish more companies did this.

[@benjigrooves929]

I just picked one up from elgato... which will be the best setup? Ryzen 3700x or 10700? Also, I want to use it to stream my son playing drums on youtube exactly like the demo video on the elgato site. Can anyone point me to a graphics overlay resource and/or tutorial for the cool graphics that were used in the video? Thanks in advance.

[@MarrickOfficial]

should i buy it only for one cam? planning to buy the Sony Alpha ZV-E10L.

[@MrHardbodies]

I want to record my screen through OBS when I am giving lessons live. I want to capture the 4k output that my monitor gives. Does this improve the playback experience if It was connected to this device? or because I have a RTX3080 ill be fine?

[@dragonsystems5973]

Just take my money, take it!!! I've been using 3 hd60 pros and a 4k60pro in on machine, this will free up at least 3 pci e ports in my workstation

[@W_Waters]

Is steggy the one who runsvthis channel?

[@GabrielMaillard]

So can this only capture 1080p like the 4k?

[@badboy8526]

I am using OBS for live stream streaming, can Cam Link 4K allow my camera's in-built mic to act as the microphone? I do not want to use external mics but use the in-build mic of my camera. My cameras are Sony A6100 and Sony DSC HX60V

[@TechWeLove]

So can I use a 1x to x16 riser since it only uses one lane? I only have two x16 slots on my motherboard, one for my graphics card, and the second for my thunderbolt 3 card. I have plenty of x1 slots though.

[@Hub2Connect]

Im looking into buying it for my Podcast project, the cameras I have are Canon M50 without a clean HDMI so will the Camlink Pro provid a clean HDMI output as with the Camlink captur USB?

[@stormkingx4649]

Cool

[@fufatheobald38]

After I added a Cam Link pro the cam link 4k stopped working.. Pc won't get no longer any signal from it.. Have I done something wrong?

[@szabobence9610]

Can i use this with play stations?

[@TonyRush21]

Can I wirelessly connect multiple cams to the Elgato Cam Link Pro

[@Hakeem9391]

So is it better to buy a cam link and game capture card than a USB versions? Cause I have a Elgato Capture card (USB) and it was running slow on my Gaming PC while streaming on my game console.

[@Redoubt9000]

Does this allow capture of each individual stream, encoding seperate files for each input?

[@VideoBaseie]

Does the card do inputs only or can you send video out via the hdmi ports too

[@tnacrew]

Can you use Two of these cards in a single desktop for 8 HDMI inputs?

[@CatchMyAzz]

I love Elgato

[@elgato]

🙌💙

[@LoverOfTech]

This is a gamer changer

[@flyryde]

Awesome !! 👌

[@matlacfrance1]

it's work with Sony FS7 II ?

[@rendermanpro]

Good explanation

[@thamoryonke]

Does cam link pro fully support lumix gh5s camera ??

[@dpredie]

Does it do 4:2:2 10 bit? spec doesnt say

[@999otshe]

Can I put a 4k60 pro and cam link pro in the same pc

[@BenjaminLotter]

Very interested in the next generation of this product where it includes a separate audio input. That's the missing feature keeping me from buying this. I have a CamLink USB version and yes, OBS has a plug-in called VirtualCam which works with Zoom, Teams, Skype or anything. So you can have multiple views, camera, scenes all going to one OBS output and Zoom, etc. just thinks it's a webcam. Sorry, it's a pass for now, but I was keenly interested in the whole video, but with no separate audio input it's not worth it yet.

[@Steggy]

Can I ask you what the use of this would be? And why you would not be able to use the line-in/mic-in port of your computer to accomplish the same thing?

[@TropicalJus]

will the ps5 be able to connect to this?

[@YxungSlit]

hello from south africa

[@Ollster-Bollster]

Looks sick

[@elgato]

🙌

[@usagamer92]

GDQ is definately getting this

[@johngorka6572]

Thank you! I think you just saved me many dollars.

[@talhah_111]

how can i get elgato as a sponcer

[@elgato]

Unfortunately, our Partnership/Sponsorship Applications are currently closed - though you're free to apply once they reopen. Keep an eye out on our socials. 🙌

[@tardigrade5452]

@Elgato - on the off chance you see this - can you please let me know if running 2 (or more) of these cards would be possible in my streaming PC? Towards the end of this year i plan to start a Quad stream from my home (x4 Gaming PCs and one streaming PC) - this will require the use of one quad capture card to capture game play, but i would also love to replace the USB webcams (brio type) with Sony A5100s which would require the use of a second quad capture card - then... if possible... a third capture card for a 5th Sony A5100 with a wide angle lens 10/14mm type to capture the whole setup in decent quality, i will also be using a camera in a birds eye view perspective but this can be achieved with a USB type camera.

[@Steggy]

Yes, 2 Cam Link Pros should be fine so long as you have the available lanes in your PC. Our driver allows for 4 max, but one of our partners has been experimenting with a special driver to get 5 into his setup and that's been successful so far (his name is MrGregles)

[@tardigrade5452]

@@Steggy thanks mate - got the builders in now making the stream room so look forward to trying this out towards the end of the year.

[@TwistedLyfe]

Can more than 1 be used in a single PC (if you have the pci-e bandwidth)

[@elgato]

Yes, you can use up to four Cam Link Pros in a single PC.

[@oldkirk]

Hey! i am having some trouble with mine, I am attempting to get 1440p60 mirrored from my gaming PC, in order to use it as a display capture, but I cant seem to get it above 1440p30. Any Ideas?

[@fffmpeg]

up to 1080p 60. above is 30 fps

[@lNiizz]

can you use this like a HD60? like record gameplay on it?

[@CatchMyAzz]

nope, no passthrough

[@_J2C]

So this should work with game consoles too, right? I wanna create a multi-console + multi-webcam stream setup so they all show on the screen at once

[@WarrilowJ]

This card doesn’t have HDMI out, so you’d have severe input lag compared to a capture card that acts as a passthrough

[@_J2C]

@@WarrilowJ I own and use HDMI splitters to work around this

[@WarrilowJ]

@@_J2C if you’ve got HDMI splitters then I don’t see why it’d be a problem!

[@elgato]

Yes - please note Cam Link Pro does not feature HDMI passthrough so you'd play in software preview or need a HDMI splitter. Learn more: help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360058672612-Cam-Link-Pro-Supported-Video-Sources

[@Standoffmuffin]

This seems awesome 👌 too bad I don't have a reason to use it. Good product.

[@wouter1602]

ATEM Mini?

[@nerdyorganist]

Our cameras images randomly freeze with the external usb capture devices (in OBS). I’m wondering if this would solve the issue.

[@jplayzgames_]

This is exactly why I bought it. It arrives tomorrow. My cam link 4k would freeze every 5 min or so while i was live. Hopefully no more camera freezing 🤞🏼🤞🏼

[@nerdyorganist]

@@jplayzgames_ we decided to buy it and have been using it for a few months now. Works flawlessly so far

[@jplayzgames_]

@nerdyorganist so I used for the first time this weekend & I love it. I added another camera to my stream so I have 2 video feeds on my stream from different angles

[@Xenoblaze1]

I want elgato products so bad but I’m broke😂

[@TJKCreative]

Can I plug a ps5 into this to capture that to ?

[@Extranetta]

yes its any hdmi signal

[@CRMXL]

Yes and no, all 4 ports are in ports and none are out so you have to play through the computer screen.

[@shanksisnoteventhatstrongbruh]

You would need and HDMI matrix or powered splitter to avoid input lag and general latency as much as possible.

[@1403gavin]

The 3090 is so limited they're using a 2080ti

[@JohnAlzayat]

Better Idea than this, can we get a dual input 4k60Pro lol

[@cluelessfish]

Wish I had done a deep dive in researching that these cards not only elgato do not work with Riot games they consider them cheating devices they block the signal its so annoying Microsoft should block riot in turn for running rootkits on our systems LOL only way I got around this was to sub stream rstp/NDI feed from another pc for valorant

[@mikefellhauer3350]

Just cameras, or other HDMI devices too??? Like say another computer! It's just you keep saying "cameras".

[@VegasFlyboy]

Elgato got all this cool as hell and expensive equipment… still lets their employees make videos showing off their new devices while using a mic across the room while everything echos. Audio sounds awful. Get these guys a dang clip on mic so they don’t have to shout across the room. Doesn’t even have to be studio or production grade. Doesn’t cost that much. They talk about products being for pros, then do something amateur like this. C’mon guys. >.

[@KaTheRiiN1214]

F

[@switchunboxing]

Is it not pronounced “El Gato” like Spanish for cat? You’re saying el goddo

[@lSippycup]

Crap, that's creepy :( 2:29

[@thewaliiiii]

Can I capture four 4K videos at the same time?
