If you have the DeckLink Quad HDMI Recorder then you can just plug in the camera into the card and use the Blackmagic Source in OBS. If you have the DeckLink Quad (2) with sdi just get the Blackmagic Micro Converter SDI to HDMI 3G and convert the camera hdmi to sdi.
That's my problem I opened OBS tried adding BlackMagic sourse nothing there. My cam is 5D Mark iV ...

One canon solution maybe https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/support/self-help-center/eos-webcam-utility/
but you can't compare this with sdi etc. but for some it can work.

Thanks but I already tried this as well. Utility is only to control cam from PC nothing else. Besides still won't show in OBS, no Privacy settings etc as am on Windows 7 not 10...
If you want to use the HDMI output you should check your camera signal in BlackMagic MediaExpress software.
On the other hand, you can use "EOS Webcam Utility" if you connect your camera via USB cable

Also, using a computer with Windows 7 is a bad idea, specially if it's conected to the internet

Ok to be more clear, the thing is, the plan, need to connect at least 3 cameras hence why I got the DeckLink Quad capture card. Going through a utility allows only one cam at a time. Gonna be shooting from multiple angles. So the app way is not the ideal solution that's if it works which hasn't so far. I have the 5D Mark IV, 600D and a Go PRo but for now only EOS cams will be used coz Go PRo is old (Hero 6) which app no longer supports..
And I have upgraded Windows 7 to 10 for compatibility...

okay for that you can OBS and the decklink will work in OBs install the newest software and driver
the settings in your canon you can read here

the utility you used witch is it ? for the most you can use the OBs Virtual cam but not for all !
I tried OBS Virtual Cam it gives nothing. When I connect Go Pro over HDMI nothing happens and I don't see it. Downloading GoPro Webcam app says only 8/9 supported. I have no extra hardware. Just the cams and card..
I do not want to use as monitor, I want to use the cams and record directly to PC as I stream, no SD card in any of the cams. I intend to use all cams directly to stream n record to PC. I can use Eos cam utility to monitor the cam, or use WebCam utility via USB but the whole point is to connect directly to DeckLink Quad and go live using from 60 foot to 75 foot cable.. In OBS whatever port I select from DeckLink shows me nothing.. Cannot see any of the cam outputs.. HDMI cable length issue ?
To sum it up, I need to use cams directly through DeckLink through OBS no extra tools or hacks (cams are borrowed) or SDcards.. Go live to FaceBook from different Angles.
Available hardware :
- Canon 5D Mark IV
- Canon 600D
- GoPro Hero 6 Black
- DeckLink Quad PCIe Capture Card
- 10m to 15m HDMI cables with HDMI to Mini HDMI converter.
What can I do with those ? And that article you keep pointing to did not work for me.
