Plug & Produce
When coupled with Cam Link, your DLSR, camcorder, or action camera appears as a webcam in all your favorite apps, including Game Capture, OBS, and video conferencing software. Up to 1080p at 60 fps or 4K at 30 fps resolution keeps your stream professional while ultra-low-latency technology gets you up and running on YouTube, Facebook Live, Twitch, and more.

Bypass the need for SD cards or any internal recording medium on your cameras, and instead opt for the Cam Link's external recording technology. This way footage is directly stored on your hard drives for streamlined editing and archiving workflows. A full list of compatible cameras is available from the Elgato website.

can this be used too turn my Panasonic GH5 into a webcam?
Asked by: gavriel
If your Panasonic can output its source through HDMI cable live, then it should work. For example, I'm using a Canon camcorder that outputs its signal through HDMI. This could be used to connect the camera to a TV so I can see in real time what the camera is recording. In my case, I'm using the camcorder as a webcam for my daughter. Once the camera is on, it's plugged into the Cam Link, and the PC recognizes it as a web cam. Depending on your camera, you can clean up your output so all you see is the video and not the battery level, focus/metering/etc.

Does Premiere Pro recognize this video capture device?
Asked by: Jerry
I'm a bit confused by this question. Cam Link isn't a video camera, it's a device that turns a camera into something capable of streaming. So if you have a camera that shoots in a format that Premiere can read (i.e. most everything) than you're good. If you're asking, can you live record something directly into Premiere...I have no clue and honestly don't know why you'd want to do that if Premiere could.
