I love your voice is so soothing. Thank you for not being so jarring it’s been a long day😌
Awe, thank you for such kind words. I really try and make folks comfortable while learning how to be great on camera which can be frustrating and anxiety inducing.
Your words mean a ton! What topics would you like to see us tackle next?
I couldn’t make my camera manual and just pushed buttons until it did something and got there but by that time I was in tears. Why was it not available? And how do you use a stream deck? Do we need one for a live podcast?
@@MsNeuroSpicEE- I’m sorry you had trouble with you camera. It can definitely be frustrating at times to have things not work like they seem like they should.
A stream deck is a nice tool, but it’s not a requirement to stream well.
One of the best videos, and I really enjoy the way you explain the details in simple terms.
Thank you for the kind words, that means more than you know. Our goal is to be practical and we want people to walk away with small wins.

what are you talking about, go to white balance because this dead guy invented it and then whet? bhahaha, worst video not the best
Thanks for explaining things with this. I run a Yeti microphone and push everything through ScreenFlow. I also am using a 27" Thunderbolt monitor. I had things plugged in to the monitor and I was not getting streaming - the Cam Link has to go direct to the computer. I walked through this video and it helped me ensure some good set up processes.
Ah yes, every setup I do with clients using the Camlink - the first thing we tackle is port availability.
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment and support.

Doesn't this camera has its own feature for USB streaming? Or is it worse quality when done via USB of the camera directly?
You nailed it! There is a very noticeable quality difference between USB out and HDMI out so we have all of our clients and students use HDMI and a capture card. The biggest bummer of the USB streaming option is the terrible color profile it has. 🤢
Question: Regarding the selection USB Streaming, is it supposed to say Not connect, connect a USB cable? It doesn't seem to say connected. please advise.
@@rubbiegroves-clay175 Not sure I fully understand your questions quite yet. This video is about using HDMI to stream and not using the USB out.
Hi mate. Every time I put the cam link into my laptop my camera turns of and nothing appears on the cam link I’m selecting in obs. Any idea what is happening?
@@calcahd4182 Let’s start with some basics. Are you plugging the CamLink directly into your computer and not into a hub or dongle?
Hi! I’m hoping you can help. I’ve done exactly the recommended with my ZVE10 and everything is pretty much perfect
Except for 1 thing. I have a really annoying video delay when I record using OBS
I’ve tried to offset the microphone to compensate, but it doesn’t help.
How can I get rid of my video output delay?
@@TheRealistYJ By offset the microphone to you mean adjusting the latency settings inside of OBS?
2:47 why do you change from 4K to HD? Don't we want 4k? higher quality?
@@TheIngPin Great question, I actually just got this question a couple weeks ago while doing a studio build in person for a client.
In my personal opinion 4K is simply overkill and sets you up for easily avoidable problems.
1. Many computer won't allow you to capture 4K even if the signal coming in is 4K
2. Capturing in 4K is relatively harmless but streaming in 4K takes a lot of horsepower. CPU horsepower, Graphics Card horsepower, and Internet horsepower.
3. On the viewers end 95% of people won’t even notice a difference. They would have to be using a 4K screen big enough to notice the difference and also have super fast WiFi on their end to get the full experience.
Because I help people look and sound great on camera as frictionless as possible, I opt for the safety of streaming in HD.
Apologies for the Novella.
What other types or topics of videos would you like to see us make?
This is a great video. You are the best at explaining how to navigate the zv e-10 . My one question, though, is why would you choose the setting of HD over 4k? Isn't 4k the better quality? I want to record in 4k, and I am using my camera to record via eccam live software.
Great question @@soulbalmsisters
I actually get this question a lot and have an answer for you.
In my personal opinion 4K is simply overkill and sets you up for easily avoidable problems when streaming.
1. Many computer won't allow you to capture 4K even if the signal coming in through the Camlink is 4K. 😟
2. Capturing in 4K is relatively harmless but streaming in 4K takes a lot of horsepower. CPU horsepower, Graphics Card horsepower, and Internet horsepower.⚡️
3. On the viewers end, 95% of people won’t even notice a difference. They would have to be using a 4K screen big enough to notice the difference and also have super fast WiFi on their end to get the full 4K experience. If their WiFi isn’t fast enough the streaming platform will just downgrade to 1080P or lower anyhow.
Because I help my clients look and sound great on camera as frictionless as possible, I opt for the safety of streaming in HD. Still looks great and provides less risk.
Apologies for the Novella.
Is this the best option for Sony users even with a big budget?
Hey thanks so much! Do you have to get a dummy battery to stream with this camera, or how do we go about battery settings/dying during streams and filming?
Great question!
Essentially there are 2 options here.
1.) A dummy battery is the way I go with my cameras, so that is a good option.
2.) With this particular camera you can also power it through the USB cable that comes with it as long as your battery is inside of the camera. 👍
@@videoforentrepreneurs thank you!!! Can you plug the usb into the pc / camera to charge simultaneously while streaming using an elgato camlink? 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@hannah_hughes You can use the USB to simultaneously power and stream your camera, but the quality is much lower than running an HDMI cable out to the CamLink.
Watched multiple videos of how to set up the ZV E10 with Cam Link 4k. And my camera keeps saying "USB Streaming: Not Connect." I looked up the Compatibility cameras for Cam Link 4k and the ZV E10 was not one of them. I don't understand how everyone's doing it. Im so lost. Pls help.
HDMI micro -> HDMI -> Camlink
Is instead of using the usb cable to stream.

@@videoforentrepreneursstill don’t understand this😂
@@6ackwoods I used a zv-e10 through a Camlink to make this very video. It’s compatible. I’ve also helped hundreds of entrepreneurs and creators use the same setup over the last 3 years.
You seem to be confusing two functions.
The Camlink isn't for the camera to do USB streaming. For the Camlink to work, you'd connect the camera to the Camlink via HDMI, and then the Camlink plugs into a USB port on your computer.
If you're trying to use the camera's USB streaming function, then you just connect the camera to the computer via USB, and no Camlink is necessary. That results in a lower-quality stream than using HDMI and the Camlink, but is a little simpler to set up.
Holy heck all I want is Sony to push whatever stream they'd be writing to the sd-card, down the USB wire so I can plug in ONE CABLE and have it stream 4K
Someday maybe. For now it’s HDMI capture for the win.
Thanks, is there a reason why you didn't choose 4k qualirty?

What other types or topics of videos would you like to see us make?
Thank you! Yes that makes sense but in my situation I don’t really do much live streaming. I’m actually trying to use this setup to make some videos from my MacBook. Basically… I want to do some singing videos just at my desk so I’ve just bought a nice audio mixer that’s going to handle all my audio needs without needing to use logic on the Mac. I want to be able to record in 4k from my Sony camera and just record from the MacBook. I’m going to use something like Ecamm or OBS to record. I want good quality recording with 4k video and great audio from my mixer. I’ve been just recording on the camera then taking the sd card out and then transferring the footage to the Mac, importing to fcpx and then I’ve been exporting audio from logic and syncing the files in Final Cut. All very long winded and awkward having to keep taking the card out the camera and then exporting audio and syncing etc. Hope that makes sense?
@@Time_and_time_again That makes total sense. If you have the option of capturing 4K through your software of choice, I would definitely go that way!
This video is aimed at those who are streaming, which also includes zoom calls and capturing through OBS or something similar, so the 1080 recommendation is for ease of use.
Keep us posted on how you get along and feel free to hit me up and share your videos when complete!
Can u used a el gato capture card to get the 4k video streaming ?
@@alerttryhard922 If your camera allows a 4K stream and your computer has the capacity to capture a 4K stream and your internet is fast enough to deliver a 4K stream - than you absolutely can capture a 4K stream with the Elgato CamLink 4K!

will this cam over heat or can i live stream for ever?
@@Miwebex It could overheat in the wrong circumstances. I would suggest keeping it in an open space and away from other electronics, keep the lcd screen closed during use, keep the battery door open, and go into the settings and select “high” in your “Auto Power OFF Temp.” Section.
for some reason it isnt connecting to my pc?
Is the Camlink plugged directly into a port on the PC and not into a hub or adapter?
Respectfully asking, What camera are you using on this video?

does it get power through the camlink usb/hdmi connection or do you still need a dummy battery to keep on running?
@@geasy great question!
It “does not” receive power from the Camlink through the HDMI cable. It can however receive power through the USB cable but I recommend against it (temperature issues) and always encourage my clients and students to use a dummy battery and leave the battery door open. 👍

I’m using the Cam Link 4k and no matter what I do, I’m only getting 720p video on my Mac when recording on OBS. Have you seen this before? I’m going crazy trying everything to fix it 😂
@@KyleDucharme Unfortunately I have seen this many times. That is a restriction imposed by the computer itself. If you used the built in webcam you would notice the same restriction. It tops out at 720p.
I have the latest MacBook Pro M3 and it tops out at 1080P 😔
Hello, can you transmiter in 4k in lives stream?
You can stream in 4K but I highly advise against it as you are never in control of the internet speed your audience will have. I always stream in 1080P to make sure the widest audience possible will have a great experience. Many softwares like zoom and others can't handle a 4K stream and end up looking absolutely terrible. Just my 2 cents.
U chose hdmi reso tu 2k, but you chose HD instead of 4K. Why?
Great question.
In my personal opinion 4K is simply overkill and sets you up for easily avoidable problems.

For recording in 4K using a Sony ZV E10 (I have a CAMLINK 4K), can you give me a quick breakdown of what settings on the camera I need to adjust? That is the part I'm struggling with also because every channel says something different in their videos. Can you tell me what I need to adjust SPECIFICALLY just for recording? (not live-streaming)

Great video. I work in I.T. consulting and just purchased this camera. I couldn't get the Camlink software to work on any of my laptops (all running win 11). I don't think Elgato does a good job of maintaining drivers for their legacy products like the Camlink. I purchased the Prompter too but it runs on the same software desktop app as the Camlink. I did get the camera connected via USB 3 but the resolution is only 720p. I'll look for another hdmi capture card. Elgato list the Camlink as a legacy device on their site so I doubt they're putting much effort into software development for the product. Thanks again.
Thanks for breaking down your experience. I’m sure it will prove helpful to others. 🙏😊
Is it just me or the dude looks like old man Himmel from Frieren

What part of the world are you in?
I'm trying to connect a ZV-E10 to my computer via an Elgato Camlink and keep getting a "Video source connected to USB 2.0" error in Camera Hub. I've tried two different cables, two different USB hubs, and two different Macs. Do you have any idea what may be wrong? Thank you!
Not 100% sure I follow yet, but I am sure we can get this figured out with a little trouble shooting.
Do you have an HDMI cable running from camera to Elgato CamLink?
Do you have CamLink connected "directly" to computer and not to a hub?
Is Your CamLink plugged into a USB-3 port? (and not USB-2 like on older computers)
Are you powering your camera with USB, Standard Battery, or Dummy Battery?
Feel free to answer anytime you are free.
@@videoforentrepreneurs Thank you! A USB hub was causing the problem. Hooking it up directly to my computer's USB port did the trick. Thanks again!

Why does my camera keep shutting down one minute after I dont use it?
It's probably because of "Power Save" mode which is a safety measure built to avoid overheating. Here is a link to the ZV-E10 manual that deals with how to change the power save time limit.

Great question! I shoot on an old Sony a7sii with a Canon L-series 24-105mm lens. I record with an old Sennheiser MKE 600 shotgun mic going to an old Zoom H6. Pretty straight forward setup with nothing too fancy. 😊
Hi, i bought ZV E10 with camlink 4k and it keeps freezing and then it disconnects from the pc, do you know how to fix this ?
@@totupepaine One thing we see quite a bit is when you don’t have the CamLink plugged directly rly into a computer port - data transfer speeds aren’t high enough to send an accurate signal. So do you beat to avoid usb hubs & adapters.
@@videoforentrepreneurs it’s plugged in front of my computer usb 3.0 port.
@@totupepaine I would try a higher speed back port if possible.
@@videoforentrepreneurs i will try to put it into another usb 3.0
@@videoforentrepreneurs update: all good, it works perfectly, thank you
Awesome video. Do I have to buy an Elgato Cam Link if I already have a Elgato 4K60 Pro?
I don’t think so. You should be able to capture hdmi out from camera and into 4k60 pro!
Is Camlink compatible with the Sony ZV E10 ?
@@PerfilesStreaming-om3em It sure is. But to be honest it’s not about comparability - it’s about does the camera have an HDMI out or not. 🙌
@videoforentrepreneurs ZV E10 have a micro hdmi output and I have it connected with the cable but the gato does not recognize the video
@@PerfilesStreaming-om3em The CamLink doesn’t “recognize” the hdmi signal - your computer “recognizes” the CamLink when you plug it in directly.
Will it work with Google meet? And generic capture card?
Google meet for sure 👍- I have owned generic capture cards and they are low quality - cause freezes and have no customer support attached. So I advise to stay away from them. 😬
Hi what’s the difference between using the camlink here with hdmi vs the direct usb connection, given that you are not looking for 4K? Is it that you are getting 1080 and the usb connection is limited to 720 or so?
Thanks for a great question! The USB it great for powering the camera, but the quality loss of capturing the image going over the USB cable as opposed to the pure signal you get over HDMI is almost night and day. The USB signal is still considered “HD” but the resolution loss comparatively is noticeable.
Now don’t get me wrong, the USB signal isn’t complete garbage… BUT - the difference is so noticeable that I have all my clients and student buy the Camlink when they work with me.
Here is a great short little video showing the difference. The bigger the screen you watch the comparison on the more you see the resolution difference. Comparison starts at 0:37

What other videos would you like to see us make?
@@videoforentrepreneurs Great video and extremely relevant for my use case. What if you have an HDMI port in your laptop, would that allow you to do away with the capture card?
@@sergiotavares8736 Unfortunatley no. Man do I wish! HDMI in 99% of laptops is an out signal only not a read signal.
Great questions though. 😊
In my RECORD SETTINGS there is no 60p 50 m options the highest is 30/100
The first things that comes to mind is making sure you are in movie mode, that shoot mode is in manual exposure and then you have the format set to "XVAC S HD" and not in "XVAC S 4K"

Thanks for this video, Dan. VERY easy to understand. Can I plug the Camlink to a hub? Or must it be directly to my Mac Mini?
Thank you for the kind words!
Most of my clients have struggled with using a Camlink with a hub so we have them go direct, although I personally use mine with a hub no problem.
Difference is I use a high speed hub built for compatibility with apple. They aren’t cheap but they work amazingly well.
So the technical answer would be “yes” with some conditions. ☺️
Why do you even need the CAMLINK? Can't you just run the HDMI right into your computer as long as you have an HDMI input or adapter?
@@mikef6063 Good question!
Unfortunately the HDMI on the computer is “output” and not “input”. it’s used so you can mirror to another screen like a t.v. or send a second monitor signal to an additional computer monitor.
In the case of the CamLink (or any other capture card) it serves as the adapter to turn the HDMI signal into something the computer can see and understand.

Hiya, thank you for the video! is it possible to connect multiple cameras for a zoom call via this Elgato Camlink if I buy a dual port extender and feed that into this camlink? Or would it interfere and be too glitchy?
Unfortunately not to my knowledge. It is simply taking the singular HDMI feed and displaying it, much like a video game system hooked up to a television.
If you fed multiple cameras into something like the "Atem Mini Pro" amzn.to/3RA3SZF
you could stream multiple cameras to a single call. 👍

I see só many people putting the file format to 1080p instead of 4k.. but why? I did some tests myself and putting it on 4k with the elgato camlink 4k and it looks so much cleaner. Even though yes, it gets downsampled to 1080p while streaming to Twitch, still looks wayyy better than the 1080p format setting. Just curious.
I am always streaming with the end user in mind and not everyone has the ability to stream 4K. In my world compression is bad so I avoid it at all costs. If your setup is working well and you notice a quality difference, definitely keep streaming in 4K!
In my work with clients we see more downside then up, so we keep it safe at 1080 HD.
Thank you for taking the time to comment. 🙏
Hi, could you recommend any tripods to use with this camera when using it above a monitor?
I generally try to consult against shooting "over" a monitor. But if you need that setup I wouldn't skimp on the tripod and would purchase something robust that can get tall and stay sturdy. I personally use the Davis & Sanford - amzn.to/42GqewA - they are robust and I have been beating the crap out of mine for 7 years and it holds up great!

Hey thanks for taking the time to reply. I would really be interested in knowing how to do this as a creator myself. It would be very helpful so I look forward to hearing back from you on how I might achieve this.
Thank you so much. Great video. Was wondering if you could share with me what teh C. Temp setting is? You went over it and explained what it is but didn't say what the color you recommend. I have it on 5500k rn. Thanks for the help
Excellent question! Generally somewhere between 4800K - 5600K is considered “daylight” as it resembles the sun and gives a very natural look. So it’s a great place to start. Everything from there really comes down to taste.
I personally set my lighting and my camera to 4800K for all my videos. 👍
@@videoforentrepreneurs awesome. Thank you so much
Hi! | got the HDMI cable as well as an Elgato Camlink for my Sony ZV E10 but still it won't connect to my pc and I don't see anything on OBS. It does work well with USB C but nothing happens with HDMI. Would appreciate any help…
Couple of things to check to start. Is the Camlink 4K plugged directly into the computer and not into a HUB of any sort?
Is the camera set to movie recording mode?
Let me know and we can go from there.
@@videoforentrepreneurs Yes all set and done ,and I noticed something isn’t the cam link supposed to show light to know it’s powered up ,but mine doesn’t seem to be showing .But my Elgato HD60X is working perfectly,I really don’t know if the problem is the cam link faulty or the Camera ..
@@FestusAbbe If you HDMI out to a monitor or TV you can test the signal quickly. The Camlink “IS” supposed to show a light and it is powered by the computer that it is plugged into.
does moving to HD cancel the 4k image you can use on screen ?
Yes. Everything from the capture card on will be 1080p when moving to HD. You can send and capture in 4K and the. Use something like OBS to stream HD and kind of get the best of both worlds.
What other videos would you like to see us make?
@@videoforentrepreneurs so I really want a nice 4k image for my live streams . Should I leave it in the 4k scale ? Since the capture card can handle it .. maybe make a video doing a side by side of the difference of 4k and HD for live streams
@@NickleNinja2 Great call! I would totally do a side by side.
I stream 1080p for the sake of the viewer. If WiFi on my end or on their end isn’t solid - a 4K stream could end up compressed and ugly.
If you do that test - let me know how it goes! I would love to see the difference.
Why don't you just go into your computer via USB -C.... I record into eCamm and upload to RUclips and have 4k as an option.
Why use the HDMI and complicate things?
Great question @SaintWolfCrypto
In my world it’s not a complication but a quality solution.
For me I use HDMI because the quality is far superior to the signal you get through the USB cable.
@AdrianSalisbury does an incredible job of showcasing the quality difference in his video called: Sony ZVE-10 HDMI vs USB Streaming - Is There a Difference In Quality?
ruclips.net/video/IiOzItxR9mo/видео.htmlsi=jCBF9AYPdy2c_uTT
My clients want the best quality possible and we also use the USB port to power the camera for long calls and recording sessions instead. Eliminating the need for a dummy battery.
Thank you for sharing your process as well. 👍
Hope this answers your question and I would love to know what other topics you would like to see us cover on the channel?
@@videoforentrepreneurs Interesting. I have never used the HDMI so I don't know how much better it is. I get 4K via USB and it looks phenomenal vis eCamm app.
I will check out that video. Thanks!!
@@videoforentrepreneurs Cool comparison but he is comparing 720 to 4k which ofc looks better....Maybe the eCamm software is allowing the 4k w/o hdmi...?
@@saintwolfvision 1080p USB and 1080p HDMI have a clear quality difference as well. I haven't used eCamm personally so if it upsamples without quality loss that is awesome!
The color is another reason I don't love the USB feed. It tend to make caucasian skin orange-ish like iPhones do.
Thanks again for this great conversation - I love hearing other video folks perspectives.
@@videoforentrepreneurs Ahh ok that explains the weird skin color ha! Thanks for your video I will keep experimenting.
No mention of the video lag with the cam link. Useless.
@@LeighWilbraham Ahh, video lag. I don’t experience any kind of lag with the Camlink myself.
I have however had a couple of clients over the years plug their Camlink into a slow adapter or hub, instead of directly into the computer and experience lag issues because of that.
Hope that helps. 🙏
Is ZV-E10 ready for 4K HDMI output with Elgato 4K Cam Link? Can't find any info, I'm looking for something like live podcast recording
@@DevastoMCofficial It absolutely is! 👍
A product like this is how it’s done.
amzn.to/3WdNq2p
We have tons of live podcasting clients that use this exact setup.
Oh thank you, I was looking for this info since weeks! 🙏
@@videoforentrepreneurs Do you have any more details on this. It feels like most videos have missing steps or have settings not shown on my ZV-E10. For example to get 4k30 as a file format, you need to use the PAL/NTSC selector and switch to NTSC, no one mentions this. I also believe in the HDMI settings, you have to set "4k output select" to "HDMI(30)" although, for some reason my capture card is still only showing 1080p30 / 1080p60 as options.
Interestingly though, with a HDMI cable plugged in, I cannot select HDMI display, it seems to be forced into off mode.
@@JonathanWillis Great observations. I unfortunately don't have this camera in hand currently so I won't be of much help on those topics. This video is just for ZV-E10 to CamLink 4K and then using that 1080P signal to do zoom calls, stream, or record.
@@videoforentrepreneurs I've got a niggling feeling that my capture card only does 1080 regardless of it's claimed spec, will look into trying with a camlink 4k to confirm it. Great video btw.
Hello. I'm looking for a model that I can use in live broadcasts. I will have no other purpose than taking photos of my cats at home and broadcasting them live. It has a capture card and I can easily connect it to the computer from there. My budget is 1000$ including lens. Is this model suitable for my purpose or would you recommend a different model? I would be very grateful if you could please help me with this. Have you experienced heating and shutdown problems?
The setup in this video would do that simply and easily.
Great video
I just got this camera and this helped a lot.
So….you don’t need OBS (never used it before) to have it show as a camera on PC?
Thanks so much for the kind words.
Nope, OBS is a great tool that opens up some options - but a simple capture card essentially turns your DSLR into a webcam that you can select just like any other camera options on your system. 🎥👍
What other types of videos would you like to see on this channel?
Awesome - so easy!
Lighting setup would be great.
I just bought two Elgato Key Lights and guidance on how to set them up would be great.
My office otherwise just has downlights and a moderate amount of daylight from window on one end of my desk.
I also just got a Desview T3 Teleprompter to go with the camera, so would love some guidance on positioning and setup of that.
Hope I’m not asking too much! 😊
@@roberthudman9559 - Not at all. If you’re up for it - book a free strategy call and we can record it for you to keep. We’ll tackle your exact problems head on.
In the meantime I will start scripting a basic lighting video for our “Camera Presence” playlist.

I thought the zv e10 didn't need a cam link due to the usb C port?
Great Question!
You can absolutely run the ZV-E10 through the USB to use like a webcam... However, the quality is noticeably lower that capturing the video feed via the Camlink 4K.
Because all my clients are entrepreneurs and professionals, I want the best quality possible for them, so I always recommend a capture card.
Pro Tip: Use the USB cable to "power" the camera and a Camlink to capture the video for a powerful combo that means you don't have to swap out batteries all the time. 😉
What other videos would you like to see us make?
@videoforentrepreneurs Thank you for your reply!
I'm a streamer here on youtube. I stream video games and host a podcast and do interviews. I'm looking to enhance my video quality.
I was going to run the zv e10 with a Sony ac battery adapter and a USB c to USB into my pc.
Are you saying I'd still need the cam link to have the full camera fidelity on stream?
Forgive me if that's a stupid question. Any help is appreciated.
@@Crackadona - Not a stupid question at all.
Now although there is a quality difference, I am not saying the USB signal is total garbage. But the difference is noticeable and only degrades over stream.
But… if you want the full fidelity of the camera you definitely want to run an HDMI micro to HDMI cable from the camera to a Camlink 4K and simply use the USB port or the battery adapter you have to power your rig for streaming.
Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions you have.
@videoforentrepreneurs Thank you! That makes total sense to me. Surprised no one else has brought this up in all of the video's I've watched on the zv e10! They all gush over how great it is that you wouldn't need the video card but don't mention the quality degradation by not using it. I'll get one for sure now. Thanks!
@@Crackadona - I am known for keeping it real and not chasing clicks. I want the best for my audience and wont ever steer them wrong.
If 15+ years as a video professional has taught me anything it is to do right by others for long term growth!
one question, if i transmit the image through the elgato camlink 4k to the computer, i can transmit it up to 4k30 with the zv-e10, but what has more quality, that i record FROM THE COMPUTER the image that i receive from the capturer, or that i record from the camera itself in 4k30 and then pass that file to the computer? are they the same? thanks in advance.
Great question!
Direct to media (SD Card) is always better when it’s an option.
85% of my social media content is captured via Camlink 4K and it’s definitely good enough, but my RUclips videos are all SD card captured and edited after.
Here is some side by side comparison by @DeployJeremy if you want to check it out:
ruclips.net/video/YIFUq-5DDDw/видео.htmlsi=XXZkRCJoQ4lheBs1
quick question, why change to hd and not 4k if camlink is capble of 4k?
Great question, I actually just got this question yesterday while doing a studio build in person for a client.
In my personal opinion 4K is simply overkill and sets you up for easily avoidable problems.
Capturing in 4K is relatively harmless but streaming in 4K takes a lot of horsepower. CPU horsepower, Graphics Card Horsepower, and Internet horsepower.
On the viewers end 95% of people won’t even notice a difference. They would have to be using a 4K screen big enough to notice the difference and also have super fast WiFi on their end to get the full experience.
Because I help people look and sound great on camera as frictionless as possible, I opt for the safety of streaming in HD.
Apologies for the Novella. 🤣
What other types or topics of videos would you like to see us make?
@@videoforentrepreneurs so if I record to my laptop (and not streaming online), it's OK to use 4K, right?

@@videoforentrepreneurs
This is an excellent video. Very well done. Thanks for sharing. Since the Sony ZV-E10 allows 4k recording and streaming, is a capture card needed?
Thank you so much for the kind words. 🙏☺️
I prefer a capture card because the quality is noticeably higher than the USB feed the camera offers. But if recorded content is the direction you are going then straight to an SD card is superior of course.
I record my RUclips videos to SD and my social videos via capture card for speed and flexibility.
What other video topics would you like to see us cover here on the channel?

u don't need a camlink. Just Usb-c
We have found a notable difference in quality, so we always recommend our clients use a capture card. 👍
USB 720p < HDMI + cam link 4K
Just realised that even if you can use the ZV E10 for a live broadcast the sound on the the camera is so god awful that it presents another bigger problem. I use the camera for my YT videos but have to record audio to a separate device. I tried linking my audio device to the camera but the preamps in the camera are dreadful and I have to sync in post. Can you think of any ways around these problems ?
I stream with my Samson Q9U usb mic.
Cool man, best explains!
Glad it helped! Thank you for taking the time to comment. 😊🙏
Hi! I’m hoping you can help. I’ve done exactly the recommended with my ZVE10 and everything is pretty much perfect
Except for 1 thing. I have a really annoying video delay when I record using OBS
I’ve tried to offset the microphone to compensate, but it doesn’t help.
How can I get rid of my video output delay?
The video output really doesn't have any lag or "latency" so I think the audio might be the issue.
Have you already tried adjusting the latency for audio in OBS using their "Sync Offset" feature?
Excellent video, buddy. Thanks, you helped me big time.
Awe, thanks!
What other videos would you like to see from us?
Why not 4k?
4K streaming relies too much on internet speed and computer specs to work flawlessly. 1080P is still HD and gives your viewer a better chance of experiencing that quality with compression or lag.
Great video mate. Is there a reason why I can't just plug the cable directly into the HDMI port on my computer?
Thank you for the kind words.
The HDMI port on your computer is more than likely HDMI "Out" not HDMI "In" - these are for sending a signal out to a secondary monitor.
Hope that is helpful, oh and... what other video topics would you like to see us cover?
@@videoforentrepreneurs Thanks mate, that makes sense. Perhaps a video explaining how one goes about capturing audio separately?
Maybe a series where you dumb everything down and explain the basics for those of us who are technologically challenged?
@@Gilsfishroom Sounds good - Our team just added it to our ideation list for '24 - Thank you!
These settings messed up my camera good. Had to restore back and move past this video
I’m sorry to hear that. What does “messed up” mean?
@@videoforentrepreneurs It made it flicker and stuff.. not blaming you. I could have easily screwed it up too lmao
@@MinnMediaX Ah gotcha. Sorry you experienced that. Let me know if know if you find a solution that works!!
