HDMI-to-USB 3.0 capture stick that turns mirrorless or DSLR cameras into plug-and-play webcams for 4K30 or 1080p60 streaming, conferencing, and recording.

Cam Link 4K has been glued to my streaming rig for over a year and it's still flawless. Plugging my Sony mirrorless into the USB 3.0 stick gave my coding livestreams and client calls an instant upgrade over any webcam—4K30 for recordings or rock-solid 1080p60 for OBS is as simple as selecting the device in software. Setup is legitimately plug-and-play on macOS and Windows, and it works just as well with my Ubuntu workstation when I use GStreamer. I keep it connected to a powered USB hub and it handles hour-long sessions without dropping frames; the aluminum shell gets warm but never overheats. It's easy to grab the wrong cable or HDMI resolution if you’re not careful, but paired with a clean HDMI output it’s still the most reliable capture dongle I own.

HDMI-to-USB capture card transforms mirrorless or DSLR cameras into professional webcams. Delivers 4K30 or 1080p60 for streaming, video calls, and recording.
