Why consider this model?

  • A compact camera-to-computer webcam or streaming path when the camera supplies a clean, compatible unencrypted HDMI feed and the host has USB 3.x. Revision 3 can capture 4K60 in MJPEG above 30 fps; supported USB-C iPads can use Elgato Capture for iPadOS, subject to the app's documented limits.

Tradeoffs to weigh

  • This is a one-way camera input, not a game-capture card with HDMI passthrough. The camera-to-device HDMI cable is not included, the host must provide USB 3.x, camera cleanliness/runtime/power must be checked, and 4K60 is exclusive to hardware revision 3 (20GAM9903), with MJPEG above 30 fps. The 10GAM9901 retail SKU alone does not identify the revision inside a particular used or older offer.
