Question / Help Panasonic HC-V770 with OBS

[Underdark]

Hi,

I'd like to organize real time stream of events in my company.

I found good camera Panasonic HC-V770 and read some forum where some people confirm that HDMI out supported in OBS without any additionals equipment.

Anyone can confirm - will this camera works with OBS without additionals devices like capture card or something else.

Thanks a lot :)

I have the same exact question, and it is almost two years later. Did you ever get an answer?

I don't see how OBS could capture HDMI output from any camera without a capture device. If the camera supports IP Video then OBS could capture it possibly with a VLC object or if the camera does NDI that is also a possibility. But to capture HDMI output requires a device that plugs into the HDMI source and connects it to the computer. The HDMI port on most computer systems is output only and cannot be used for capture.

i use a panasonic Lumix G7. you need a capture card or you can use a simple device like a elgato camlink.

Either way you need to use a micro HDMI out from the camera to a full size HDMI plug, and that needs to go into a capture card.

be very careful as many cameras do not offer a clean HDMI out especially camcorders. meaning you will see the onscreen display on the outbound video like the information overlay from the camera.
