So as the title states I am having the much maligned multiple identical camera issue. I have tried pretty much everything I have found over 2 days now. I stream Model Railroading on YouTube. Having heaps of cables everywhere is just not feesable with being disabled due to leg and back injury also having a 4yo in the hobby room. So I bought a USB 3.0 powered hub thinking this would solve it. Well when I had cams that were not all the exact same one it actually did.
I then decided to up my game and have consistent visuals from all cams bought 4 identical ones not realizing what I had done. Well here we are and the best I can do is get 2 of them to work at a time that are plugged into the hub. Yes I can deactivate them when not being viewed allowing others to turn on. But this ruins some scenes where I would have a Multiview scene.
So in doing some research and from experience in my other hobby came to the thought of USB over Ethernet. The 4 cams are USB 2.0 cams 1080p. Now not all the cams would need to be on the USB-Ethernet connection maybe 2 for the moment. Would having 2 on the Hub and the other 2 on the USB-Ethernet still cause issues? Has anyone tried this?
Another less optimal option is I do also have a Laptop that I can use to put the 2 cams into then do vdo.ninja into the main streaming PC. Not super enthused with this option due to latency and getting out of sync with the other cams. But is an option all else fails.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
Jason
