The streaming and webcam features also feel like afterthoughts, leaving much more to be desired in those categories. I basically consider them pointless and don't recommend them. In terms of operation, the app is not only easy to use and connect to standard streaming platforms (Facebook, Youtube, and RTMP), but offers extensive picture adjustments – either preset or manual. A paid subscription will allow you to stream to multiple platforms at once, and add live graphics. While the Logitech C922 Pro has staked out a place as a near-ubiquitous camera for conferences and the like, the Logitech Streamcam is a newer model that’s pitched directly toward streamers. Its video quality is excellent, with 1080p 60fps footage that looks excellent. You’ll have no reason to worry about your streaming quality once this camera is up and running – the auto framing and exposure features keep you centered and keep the image balanced for a pleasing output. You can also install the Logitech Capture software, available for Windows or Mac, to further streamline the process. Another affordable webcam option. We recommend the slightly more expensive Studio Business model over the Cinema model because it comes with 1080p resolution, digital zoom, and a tripod mount.

How to Use a Digital Camera as a Webcam - How-To Geek

Note that older versions are not very compatible with live streaming (as they were meant for photography). Owing to this, some cameras do not have an HDMI output at all. Before you buy, make sure the camera has a clean HDMI port. Dynamic range refers to how much detail is retained in highlights and shadows. The higher the dynamic range, the more detail that remains in bright highlights and dark shadows. Today, a camera should be able to output a minimum of 1280×720 (i.e., 720p) resolution. We suggest going for at least 1920×1080 (i.e., 1080p), which most cameras today do offer. You’re streaming live! Use Pearl-2’s touch screen, Admin panel, or Epiphan Live to switch layouts as needed during the stream.The CX350 has preinstalled support of NDI, which provides automatic discovery and ease of use, and built-in support for NDI via NDI|HX. It also allows ultra-low latency streaming, and supports camera control and tally.

Hi Brian, thanks for the article. I am trying to get clean HDMI out from 5D mark iv unsuccessfully, played with settings, watched many videos with instructions and still couldn’t make it work. May you have any suggestions regarding this issue? I just got a Panasonic HC V750 and when I plug the HDMI from the camera to a monitor for example, I see the graphics from the camera on the screen. I have not found a way to turn that off to get a “clean” feed from the camera.The more light the camera receives, the better the image quality, as more light is able to hit the sensor. Go for the camera with a resolution of at least 1280x720p. If you get one with 1920x1080, great! 4k resolution is not necessary, as most people watch videos on their phones. The HC-X2 offers a long list of impressive features that include recording and output for formats up to 3840 x 2160 at 60 fps, full 4:2:2 10-bit recording, Panasonic's V-Log and V-Gamut, simultaneous HDMI and 3G-SDI output, USB webcam output, internal RTMP/RTSP streaming, wired and wireless control options, an abundance of independent image controls, dual SD card slots, and built-in assist functions like a waveform and vectorscope. Image quality takes into account many factors including image noise, sharpness, color science, color accuracy, dynamic range, the ability to adjust the image to a specific style, etc. With the live streaming industry rapidly evolving, newer DSLR and mirrorless models are designed with live streaming in mind. This means that most recent releases meet the four criteria for live streaming cameras. Additionally, companies like Canon, Nikon, Sony, and Panasonic have recently released firmware updates that convert a DSLR/mirrorless model into plug-and-play USB camera (much like a webcam).
