All,

I recently picked up an Elgato Cam Link 4K.  I have done limited use testing, but it seems to work.
I'm using Archlinux, running kernel 5.10.16:

Feb 18 23:23:59 honcho kernel: usb 4-4: LPM exit latency is zeroed, disabling LPM.

You definitely have to be careful to ensure that you're plugging in and getting it to show up as a
Superspeed device.  I had the device show up as USB 2.0 if I went through a hub.  

It seems to work fine with the limited amount of testing I was able to perform since I was only
using it to stream from Nikon D300s and D700 cameras.  It only functions properly if I have have the
cameras not set to AUTO for HDMI output.  I have the cameras set to 720p and this works well.  I
have used them with OBS Studio and VLC. Good job!

If there is any testing you would like me to do - send a reply and I'll get it done!

Thanks,

Glen
