Additional Notes

AJA U-TAP HDMI

  • This device supports a huge number of resolutions and frame rates up to 1080p60.
  • It can scale video from your camera to a different resolution before sending it to your computer.
  • Very reliable. Shows color bars if the video signal is lost.

If you use an Elgato capture device with with a Sony Handycam such as the HDR-CX440, you should change the Handycam’s HDMI Resolution setting to either 1080p or 720p. The Auto setting seems to confuse the CamLink by making the camera output 60 frames per second when the CamLink is expecting 30. Find this setting in the Handycam menu under Setup -> Connection (double arrows) -> HDMI Resolution.

The CamLink needs the latest firmware to work reliably. Otherwise it is very sensitive to loose HDMI cables and can freeze up if the connection is poor. BE VERY CAREFUL. Make sure your HDMI cable is good quality and is adequately secured at both ends with good strain relief to keep it from wiggling. Better yet, update your firmware.
