Hi, I am completely new to this broadcasting lark.
I have a question regarding connecting a Canon XL2 DV Camera as a webcam to my Mac. If I connect the camera to the Mac running FCPX then the computer sees the camera but I have heard that to connect the camera to OBS and capture card is required. Now I have a MacBook Pro Late 2016 with Touch Bar so I have a problem on where to put a card? Are there any other options available such as the The UltraStudio Mini Recorder from Black Magic Design which I use to hook my Sony HXR MC2500 Camera to OBS, and works a treat?
The XL2 has a Firewire out on the back of it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks for your replies in advance
