This HDMI-to-USB capture stick turns a DSLR, mirrorless camera, or camcorder with clean HDMI output into a high-quality webcam your computer sees instantly. One end is a female full-size HDMI input; the other is a male USB Type-A plug that goes straight into a USB 3.0 port, which it needs for its 5 Gbps of bandwidth. It captures up to 4K30 (or 1080p60) with ultra-low latency and no recording time limit. There is no passthrough output, so it is a single-input device.
Elgato’s HDMI-to-USB 3.0 stick that turns a clean-HDMI camera into a 4K30 or 1080p60 webcam with no passthrough.
