Hello all,
Newbie here. Scanned the forums and online, didn't see a whole lot that relates to my situation. I'm trying to get an Avkans 20x NDI camera (the $549 one found at a "large online retailer") to work in OBS Studio, through NDI on Linux, but...I have been flummoxed to this point. Here are the specs of the laptop/OBS version, etc. Details on what I've done to this point to follow.
Framework 12th Gen laptop running Intel i5, running 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-1240P × 16
16 GB memory
Intel Graphics (ADL GT2)
Endeavour OS, Gnome 44, Windowing System X11, Linux 6.3.4-arch1-1
OBS 29.1.1-2
obs-ndi 4.11.0-1
NDI 5.5.3 Runtime
PTZ Controls 0.15.4-2
Here's what's weird. I can "see" the camera through PTZ Controls. Meaning, if I use Visca/TCP, plus the IP address, then 5678, I can move the camera around to my heart's content. However, when I go to add this as an NDI Source, nothing shows up (meaning the camera itself) under Source Name in the drop down menu, so therefore I can't use this camera at the moment as an NDI Source. I've also updated this camera to latest firmware via a Windows laptop, and can "see" it (use the camera properly) with the Avkans CameraCMS software (Windows only software).
Some advice I've gotten is...go the Windows route if you want to do this. I'd rather not. This laptop works great without Windows, plus my Windows laptop gets rather hot and has horrendous battery life (the notorius MSI GF63).
Look forward to your thoughts. I feel like this thing is 90% ready to go, but...just needs to convert on this 4th and short. ;)
