Verdict

AVerMedia Streamer Ultra 2.1

A genuinely capable 4K60 external capture box with flexible HDMI 2.1/2.0 switching for live-commerce and DSLR streamers, held back only by its brand-new status and a macOS capture cap at 4K30.

Elgato Cam Link 4K

8 / 10 Expert Rating

The simplest way to turn an existing DSLR, mirrorless camera, or camcorder into a genuinely better video source for streaming and calls.
