I have a setup where I layer camera sources on top of each other for live streaming. One of the cameras, a Nikon D90, occasionally turns off, possibly due to overheating. (Replacing the camera may be a future move, but I don't want that to be the topic of this thread because that is not in the cards right now.) The camera's output is HDMI, with the subject image unobscured, but surrounded by the onscreen shooting data. To get a clean image, I use OBS to crop out the shooting data. Here is an example raw image from a review of the D90's live view.
When the camera turns off, the subject image goes very dark gray (color #070707, to be exact). The cropped-out shooting data is still present.
What I would like to do is set up a conditional chromakey, such that the chromakey is effectively off by default, but will be triggered effectively on if, for example, 75% of the screen is color #070707. By having that set up, OBS will automatically make the dark grey transparent, and the viewers will see what the next camera in the source list is showing. I need it to be conditional, or else it will have to be constantly on, which will constantly chromakey out all individual pixels on the good Nikon D90 image that are exactly #070707.
Incidentally, I can't find any option in the D90 menus, controls, or manual to turn off the yellow, red, and green boxes (see the face above). They show up on the recordings and livestreams when they automatically occur. Does anyone know of a way to turn them off?
