Hi! I am totally new to OBS and I can't find the window where I can set Brigtness, Contrast....
Is there any option to lock any auto function on the camera. Like exposure, White Balance, Focus (I need manual focus),...

I use a macbook pro mac os sierra 10.12.6

Camera is Marantz Professional Turret

Right click your camera source in OBS and choose "Properties" from the drop down menu. These settings are controlled by whatever driver is provided by your camera, not in OBS.

Well that I know. The only thing I can choose from ist the resolution.
That is on both cameras (macbook intern camera) and the Marantz Turret camera.
So I will try to find another driver? Because there is a youtube video with the obs and the Marantz turret camera incl. the settings I need in OBS.

The camera should have either come with the right driver, or directed you to where at the manufacturer's site you should download the correct driver. I don't know that just trying drivers for other devices will help.

You didn't provide me a link, but if I had to guess, I'd say that that user is on Windows, and the Windows driver for the camera does expose those features to OBS, but the MacOS one doesn't because they wrote only the minimal functions needed to make the camera work, and put all the other features in whatever software they expected you to use with the device.

Just guessing.

Is there any solution? So far I used obs primary on windows. There it is possible to change a lot of camera Settings like fokus, white-balance, brightness and so on. Brightness helps often to get the chromakey filter working properly. Within windows that works with a popup witch looks the same on every windows PC I tried (does seem not to relate to a special webcam driver you would need to install manually).

Using a Mac (I am switching my private Intelbased 32GB TowerPC with a Macbook) that menu to change these settings are not there. And if I got it right you recognized that as well.

What now?
