Although the Elgato CAM LINK and CAM LINK 4K is mainly marketed as a video capture device for your mirrorless camera or DSLR, did you know that it is also an excellent video streaming and capture device for your video game console? I know, mind blown! 🤯
Let me show you how easy it is to connect your Nintendo Switch, XBOX, or Playstation console to your computer to stream in TWITCH and MIXER with the El Gato Cam Link.
Make Sure you Have the Following Hardware:
✔️ Elgato Cam Link (or Cam Link 4K)
✔️ Video game console (Nintendo Switch, Playstation or XBOX)
✔️ HDMI cable
✔️ A fairly modern computer (with USB 3.0 or higher)
✔️ OBS Software (obsproject.com/)
✔️ Camlink Software (drivers, etc... www.elgato.com/en/gaming/down...)
BUY THE FOLLOWING:
Elgato Cam Link 4K: amzn.to/2Sa5SZr
Nintendo Switch: amzn.to/2yJH3wJ
Playstation 4 Pro: amzn.to/2x8rNJc
XBOX One X: amzn.to/2VWQJMi

@hugomakes 3 жыл бұрын

In my experience there was no real noticible latency. I played games like Celeste that requires incredible precision (though there is always the possibility of latency when using a USB device). If you're a competitive player and are worried about latency I'd probably recommend using a PCIe card like Aver Media Live Gamer or Elgato's version. There are also NDI streaming setups. Just google that and you'll find some good resources. If budget is tight though and you just want to get started and see if you even like streaming/recording your gaming, this is a nice introduction. By the way, I'll be moving all of my gaming related videos to my other KZfaq channel: m.kzfaq.info/love/Rqh4na8VTRQJvWQzsQIlfw So be sure to follow me there. Hope that helps.

Hi Jacob, you should not be experiencing lag within OBS. The things I would check is #1) Make sure you are using USB 3.0 to give as much data throu-put as possible to the signal #2) to rule out OBS, use only the elgato capture software and see if you experience lag still. Let me know your findings so we can further troubleshoot!

Jacob, yes the 2012 Mac likely doesn't have a very powerful GPU to handle it. Did you try the DSLR through camlink on just the webcam software? Maybe it is the OBS overhead. Also, lag within OBS or are you getting frame drops on stream?

Hi Kota, I'm not too familiar with the Zoom H1N, however, cracking sounds can typically suggest interface. Try to isolate the cable from touching anything and see if it helps. It could also be faulty audio input. Have you tried a regular mic in the same input to see if you get a similar problem? Good luck!

Thanks for the video! I wanna know if the cam link works if I want to record a DVR (like DirecTV) with HDMI cable, it’s the same logic?

@hugomakes 4 жыл бұрын

Great question. Technically yes it would be possible, but remember that the Cable/Satellite provider box might have HDCP enabled (copy protection) when using HDMI out. You would probably need an HDMI splitter that strips out the encryption. I've never done it so I'm not 100% sure and I currently don't have TV service to try it out. You will want an actual DVR software on your PC, not OBS for an overall better dvr experience, but I don't see why it would technically NOT be impossible to achieve what you want. Can you report back if you get it working?

@alibaba - you can not do both simultaneously using just this device. The video is just meant to show you can use the camlink can also act as a capture card for your video game consoles (not just DSLRs). The money savings comes from being able to use just a cheap webcam and use this to capture from your console. And if you were making other style of videos, use the camlink with the DSLR just so you have better quality on those. Hope that makes sense.

Would I need both the cam link (to replace the webcam) and the HD60 game capture to record the gameplay? If so, how would the set up look like? Thanks again in advance!

@hugomakes 4 жыл бұрын

Correct! You would need both the Elgato Camlink (for a webcam replacement for your Sony A6400) and the Elgato HD60 to capture the gameplay. The Sony Camera's HDMI connection would connect to the Camlink's HDMI in and the Camlink's USB out to the computer via USB3. Then the PS4 would connect via HDMI in to the HD60 and USB3 out to the computer. In OBS you would set the Camlink as video capture device and the HD60 also as a video capture device. A couple of small notes: I took a quick look at your camera and you will need a dummy battery to power the camera so it can do continuous recording. www.elgato.com/en/gaming/cam-link/camera-check - something like this: amzn.to/38scEkg - you can hold off on buying that though, until you know that it works good in your tests. You might also need an HDMI micro to HDMI cable as the camera doesn't have a FULL HDMI connection. Something like this: amzn.to/38vAMCH - just do your research since I just did on the surface research just in case. Hope that helps :)

ErickFreshh, this method is meant for you to use the Laptop (in your case) as your monitor. If you wanted to use a separate screen (monitor or TV), your capture device would need to feature HDMI passthrough. This is the product you'd need: amzn.to/3glIj9L - in that case, you'd put an HDMI cable from your switch to the HDMI in port in the HD60S, then an HDMI cable from the HD60S HDMI out port, into your TV. The USB cable would go from the HD60s to the computer. Everything else though, remains the same. OBS, El Gato Capture Software, etc... Let me know if that helps!
