The software has been buggy and crashtastic – the one thing I can’t have when clients are paying me for webcasts.įor now, I still end up with two cameras – my Logitech C615 for GoToWebinar, and the Canon/Blackmagic combo for everything else.Hi, i currently have a Mac Pro (Late 2013) with the following configuration: I’ve also tried a few other software products that purport to do the same thing, like Camtwist and Manycam, but I’ve had really bad stability results. Unfortunately, during my testing, it constantly used 100% CPU of one core, and I don’t like having my laptop fan going while I webcast. It’ll even let you add additional effects live, like removing backgrounds or overlaying text. It takes takes the Blackmagic UltraStudio’s input and acts like a USB webcam for most software. If you want to spend even more money (around $500), and you’re willing to put up with high CPU usage, check out Telestream Wirecast. Cisco WebEx Meeting Center v29.13.4 – does not work.Here’s the apps I’ve tested the UltraStudio with on OS X 10.9:
It appears to be application-dependent – for example, earlier versions of Skype worked, but the current (6.14 as of March 2014) version doesn’t, as shown at right. Skype’s camera list just shows “Blackmagic” as an input device, with no resolutions or color depths, and it just displays a useless black screen. Unfortunately, not all apps offer native support for video capture devices. Same thing with WebEx: WebEx support for Blackmagic The Canon Vixia outputs 1080i 59.94 in 8 bit color, so when I choose that from the dropdown list of capture devices, I see my camcorder’s output. You have to know the exact resolution, frame rate, and color depth of your input device (camcorder), and choose that from the list: Google Hangouts resolution list In Google Hangouts, for example, when I go to choose a camcorder, Blackmagic is listed as one of the input sources. If you don’t do this, the Mini Recorder just outputs a black video stream. I know, right? Go into Apple, System Preferences, Blackmagic Design, and change the input to HDMI video: Changing the default to HDMI input Go into the Canon’s onscreen menus where it says “Output Onscreen Displays” and turn that off: Canon Menus Step 3 – Set the UltraStudio Mini Recorder defaults to HD.Īfter installing the Mini Recorder’s drivers, it defaults to standard definition video.
Step 2 – Turn Off the Canon’s Output Displays. By default, the camcorder’s HDMI output shows things like the time and the recording status onscreen.
Step 1 – Plug everything in. The UltraStudio is powered by Thunderbolt, but you’ll want to plug your camcorder into an electric outlet if it’ll be running for hours on end. The Mini Recorder does not make your camcorder a USB webcam – life is not quite that easy.
