Question about Elgato Cam Link 4K
I would like to know if by connecting the HDMI output of my camera to the HDMI input of the Elgato cam link 4k and the USB output of the same 4k link card to the smartphone with USB input c, would I see the video from the camera ? Of course I would use an Android app called USB Camera Pro... Thanks

Connecting your camera's HDMI output to the HDMI input of the card and then its USB 3.0 output to a smartphone via USB-C does not guarantee that video will be displayed correctly. The card is designed to be connected to a computer (Mac or PC) via USB 3.0, not a smartphone.
The Elgato Cam Link 4K works as a USB video capture device for computers, recognised as a webcam by apps on Mac or PC, but is not officially supported for direct use with Android smartphones via apps such as USB Camera Pro. In addition, the USB connection must be to a USB 3.0 port on a computer to ensure optimal stability and functionality.
Thus, although it is physically possible to connect the card's USB to a smartphone with a USB-C adapter, compatibility and operation are neither guaranteed nor officially supported.
