Elgato introduces Green Screen and Cam Link dongle to improve Twitch videos

Elgato sells one of the top affordable cards for capturing gameplay video, and now it is filling out its product lineup with more tools for Twitch broadcasters and YouTube creators. The company revealed its Cam Link and Green Screen accessories today. The $129 Cam Link enables you to use any camera with HDMI out as a webcam on your computer. The $149 Green Screen is a collapsible, easy-to-store filming backdrop that enables gamers to put just themselves over a game without having their office or bedroom behind them.

Elgato is aiming these products at broadcasters, whether they are full-time or just hobbyists. The gaming audience has embraced livestreaming, and it’s a consumer base that typically has cash to spend. Elgato built a strong reputation with its HD60 capture cards, which easily handle recording gameplay at 1080p and 60 frames per second. Now, the company is looking to maximize its revenues by giving its customers more products to improve the production of their broadcasts.
