    Canon just released their EOS Webcam Utility that allows you to send the video signal STRAIGHT to your computer without needing a Cam Link.. or any capture card. BUT.. how is the quality? Is it worth it? Should you pick up a Canon??

    Nice video Harris, particularly the USB vs HDMi comparison with the same camera. I tried it with a RUclips live stream on Friday night using an EOS R and RF 15-35mm f2.8 and wondered if it was the USB or my reduced internet bandwidth that was holding it back to 480p, but it still looked pretty good - AND of course was effectively free of charge. I've posted the live replay on my channel if you're interested.

      Hi Duff, Just a rapid question as I'm on a Mac and the software is not available yet (hope this will be very soon !!). Can you tell me if while you're using this new piece of software you have the ability to adjust the camera settings (ie. shutter speed, ISO and, aperture) in real time ? I'm using right now a Canon M50 as my webcam, using "Camera Live" and "CamTwist", and my main problem is to control the camera settings. Despite I'm on Manual mode on my camera, the flipscreen is turned off when activating "Camera live" and I can't adjust the settings if my light is changing (I got a large window next to me, and sometimes, the weather gets cloudy, and my picture turns to dark because of the camera setting beeing fixed by the manual mode !)
      If the Canon software give the ability to control the camera settings in real time .. that would be a HUUUUUGE deal !

    @BryanThePirate 4 года назад +5

    Some things to bear in mind; with a capture card/camlink the added hardware is doing the rendering. With an app it's your CPU and it can hit HARD. I used to simply screencapture the normal EOS app and it took up *20%* of my 6600k's CPU alone! So you would only want to go with a software solution if you have a beefy CPU and if you can afford a beefy CPU, chances are you can afford a camlink anyway.
    Another thing to bear in mind, because it's software based a lot more data is being pulled through the USB hub (a hub isn't always external, EG. the USB ports on the front of your PC is a separate hub to the ones at the back). A USB hub can only handle so much data - that's one of the reason you're frequently advised to have only one video device in one hub at a time otherwise they bottleneck and render the other ports useless (in laymen's terms)
    Source: me, I work in IT tech, i'm also a streamer using a Canon 80d and a camlink that has extensively tested this (to see if it was worth saving £120 on a camlink).
    Hope this helps with folks making purchase decisions!
    Oh and if you do go with a camlink by the way; still avoid canon. I love my 80d, but their "clean HDMI" is only clean in manual focus. If you put it into auto focus you'll get the focus reticle that can not be removed. Meaning you're limited to manual focus and have to set the focus every time you turn on the camera and depending on the lens you use you won't have much freedom to lean forward/back without becoming blurred.

      As i said before I would avoid Canon for streaming. You can't use auto-focus through the HDMI out, unless you want your viewers to see a constant white box around your face. Being limited to manual focus on streams is a pain.
      When it comes to how much you spend on a camera, generally as long as it can do 1080 or 4k at 60fps you're fine. The *lens* is what is important. What lens you want varies from person to person, how much space you have to move the camera back/forward and the sort of look you want.
      Ultimately it depends on your budget, patience and what literal room you have to play with.

    Just so you know, USB-C isn't automatically "better" than USB 2.0
    C refers to the physical connector, and 2.0 refers to the speed/version of the protocol.
    There's plenty of devices out there that have a type-c connector but it still only supports USB 2.0 speeds. Folks make sure you do your homework and double check what you're getting.

    Hopefully, there will be some optimisations in the driver that will enable it to run for longer, but the problem is as you mention in the video, that the camera has to do alot of processing to output the video via USB, and that will create extra heat to dissipate.
