I tried to use the Elgato Camlink with my Macbook and Sony ala6400. But everytime I use it, the fans would ramp to a noisy level.

Turns out that processing is still being done by the Macbook.

I have the Elgato 4K and the Sony a6400 and my computer (NUC8 running Debian) does not overheat.

Perhaps the NUC handles thermals a lot better than the laptop. I consistently get around 4-5k RPM when connecting with Elgato Camlink.
