We have the JVC 4K camcorder (GY-HM200U) connected to our LAN with OBS installed on Windows 10/64 on the same LAN.
What has to be done to make the camera (via IP) an OBS source?
TIA.

use the ndi plugin + ndi tools (google) ; you would need to capture though on the pc to which the cam is directly connected if there is one (e.g. sdi capture card);
or maybe you were thinking on using the network capabilities of the cam, then if it can do mpegts udp, the vlc plugin can capture it.

Thanks, pkv.
I absolutely want to use the network capabilities of the camera.
I'm a total noobie regarding "mpgegts udp".
I have the VLC player, but really need specifics on the mpegts udp "plugin" for VLC?

Read this guide https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-studio-send-an-udp-stream-to-a-second-pc-using-obs.455/ with the following proviso:
it's a guide using obs as udp source to vlc player.
You want to do something similar except that obs from the guide is replaced by your camcorder as source and the vlc player as sink in the guide is replaced by obs.
For the setup of your cam it's at page 167-168 ;
you would choose udp and mpeg-ts. Pick large bitrates because obs will re-encode.
On obs, in the sources panel on front end add a media source (vlc source in principle should grab the udp it but it seems buggy atm).
Untick local file.
In input: udp://@224.0.0.1:9999
input format: mpegts

I'm totally lost trying to configure VLC as a source.
My camera get set as: 192.168.0.7
Type: MPEG2-TS/UDP
Port: 6504

Interface on the LAN shows a picture is being served, but can't see it with VLC so it can't possibly get to OBS.
Absolutely NO IDEA what to do to "fix it".
Any help is welcome.

in the full manual, you have to follow pages 119, 120 + 167-168 .
You're mixing the local IP of your camera 192.168.0.7 and the destination IP which should be for instance:
udp://224.0.0.1
you can either use the default port given in the manual or set another

In order to watch , in obs add a 'Media Source' (the play of the udp stream is operated by ffmpeg), untick local file, In input: udp://@224.0.0.1:9999
input format: mpegts

Hello pkv:
Your last post has been met with TOTAL SUCCESS!
Even JVC tech support does NOT have this answer and a high-priced "consultant" offered the opportunity to send him $200 and he would guarantee a solution within 24hrs.

You've made a couple of "old men" in Texas very happy to be able to do a lot of really good stuff. My colleague, a retired physician is probably going to be able to use this camera and OBS to avoid driving 100 miles one-way to teach a 5-hr lecture to prospective physicians twice a week!

THANKS MANY TIMES.
Dave
