I understand that I use 8 cameras (4 at a time, 2 stereoscopic perspectives at once) and that is unusual.
I am aware that there is no way for OBS to differentiate between identically named USB cameras that show up as the same.
I require the same make of camera multiple times, an SQ-11, because that is the only camera I can find to put 2 inches apart from each other (center to center)
I assume OBS relies on the fact that different USB camera have different names in the USB tree.
I assume Apple relies on the fact that camera manufacturers have software to let you change the USB name of the cameras.
I tried using various camera programs on the Apple Mac App Store, and the programs can change lots of things, but the one thing you cannot change is the USB name of the camera. Apple had to refund me quite a few times because the name was the one thing I specifically wanted to change and the name is the one thing that cannot be change,
I tried looking up "Who manufactures the SQ-11" and Google usually says it's manufactured by many Chinese manufacturers, and since the manufacturers provide software, since nothing came in the package, there is no way to rename them. AFAICT.
I remember telling Apple that they USED to have a numbering feature of multiple items that are identically named. "Genreral-UVC(1)", "Genreal-UVC(2)"... etc. They had it as early as OS10.12. Then the I got my new Mac it suddenly jumped up to OS12.1. Somewhere in between there they took that out as a feature.
Apple said it might be security related.
1). Is OBS at the mercy of the USB tree, that if identically named cameras exist, then OBS would automatically get confused, or is there something you can do about it?
2). Does anyone know of ANY way to change the USB name of an SQ-11 camera?
I notice OS 13.5.2 makes OBS 29.1.3 really screwy, even more so than before.
The LAST thing you should do is downgrade a Mac OS.
Is there a download where this issue is less of an issue?
BTW, does anyone know of any cameras that you can stick 2 inches apart pupil-to-pupil. BESIDES the SQ-11? What's the price of such a Camera?
BTW I do most of my web surfing on an Android. Only my outstreaming machine is a Mac, Any way to change the name of an USB camera on an SQ-11 using an Android, and making that name stick on a Macintosh?
BTW my computer is a 2018 Mac mini i3 Intel.
