Hi,
I'm new here, and i have a few questions...
I have multiple Canon D2000 (a.k.a. Rebel in the USA) camera's and I want to use them in OBS. One way to do this is to use canons "webcam utility" but that only supports one camera. In the past I wrote a C++ app to control (and view) all 6 camera's from one place using the canon EDSDK. Now I want to go one step further and make the camera accessible in OBS.
I want to: Create a new type of SOURCE for obs. This source will connect to the camera using the canon EDSDK and requests images from the camera.
So here are my questions:
1. is there a simple "hello world" example to creating a new "source" in obs.
2. What is a source? ( is it just a dll, or are there other components.)
3. Are there any fundamental problems with the workflow outlined above?
4. ( what I'm actually asking... I need a way to produce my first, (empty) obs-source from Visual Studio. So I can start coding. )
thanks in advance Steve.
P.S. camera doesn't have clean HDMI output so HDMI-capture is not an option. Not even with "magic lantern".
