I have OBS set up with a USB switched and powered hub and I have 4 cameras connected to it.
1 Tenveo conference cam, 2 Logitech C9000 webcams, and 1 Logitech B910 webcam
I set up 4 scenes each camera being the sole source in a scene. I can switch cameras simply by selecting the scene.
This works well except for the Tenveo camera, once I have switched away from the scene that it is in I lose the video and get a black screen when I switch back. I then have to either switch the camera off and on again using the remote, which resets the camera to home position and it then needs moving back to where it's required. Or I can switch off at the USB hub and back on again . Either of these will bring the video back. The first option is a problem because of the camera doing its Pan and Tilt start routine before stopping in the home position and then needs moving to the correct position. Although this doesn't take more that about 10 seconds It is a distraction on what should be a seamless switch between cameras. The second option is a logistics problem in that the hub is not located in a place accessible to the OBS operators table, making switching on and off at the hub impossible.
I am using OBS as a virtual camera for Zoom meetings with the audio a separate thing not using camera microphones. The laptop with OBS on logs into Zoom just using OBS Virtual Camera and the Zoom host on a separate laptop with video off can spotlight the OBS laptop and the operator switches cameras as required.
I don't know if this is an OBS problem or a Windows problem (windows 10) or just this particular camera I am hoping that someone has come across this can help please.
