Question / Help Video Capture Use Problem

I am new to OBS Studio, but have researched this issue I am having.

My requirement relates to the use of a AVER CAM520. I would life to have different scenes which position the CAM520 differently (ie. different PTZ settings).

Lets say I have two scenes called (1) Stage and (2) Table. I add the CAM520 to the Stage Scene calling it 'CAM520 Stage', have 'deactivate when not showing' ticked, and configure the PTZ values through the 'Configure Video' button. So far so good.

When I now try and add the CAM520 to the Table scene calling it 'CAM520 Table', it shows up as blank. My intent here is to change the PTZ values to focus on the table only.

What am I doing wrong? Can OBS do what I reqiure? Is there a different way of achieving what I want to do?

thanks

You can't have the same video source in different scenes with different settings.

If the source in the 2nd scene is a duplicate, it will have the same settings.

If you make another and use different settings, creating that source will disable the first one.

Video device drivers are exclusive.
