The following article is for a software that is now considered Legacy (EOL) status and no longer in active development. The information below may be outdated, no longer available or it may not match what is possible with current Elgato products. |
Please Note: Screen Link is End of Life, and no longer sold or updated by the App Store.
Capturing video from iOS has an inherent delay of 500ms due to the iOS framework being used. Apple has been contacted by our Developers in an effort to reduce this latency even further.
Additional latency may be introduced by the quality of the Wi-Fi connection.
Screen Link intelligently adapts latency and bitrate to provide the best compromise between latency and quality without introducing audio/video dropouts or extremely high latency.
When using Screen Link initially, the latency between the iOS device and the computer may be higher, as Screen Link requires multiple sessions to learn about the network conditions and set the optimal latency.
