The Elgato Facecam Pro was the first consumer webcam to capture true 4K at 60 frames per second, pairing a Sony Starvis sensor with a fixed f/2.0 lens and uncompressed video output. Connectivity is a single USB-C port carrying USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) — and at 4K60 that bandwidth is fully saturated, so cable quality matters. The supplied 1.8m USB-C to USB-C cable is rated for the full 5 Gbps; substituting a charge-only cable will drop the camera to lower resolutions.
True 4K60 webcam with a Sony Starvis sensor and a single USB-C port (USB 3.2 Gen 1, 5 Gbps) — bandwidth is fully used at 4K60.
