Hello Guys,
For those who don't know the camera yet, you can get some information on it on: http://www.z-cam.com/e2/
One nice feature they have is livestreaming capability via ethernet. The problem is that they use their own protocol called "libssp", which stands for "Simpe Stream Protocol". Of course their own software and app can use that protocol without problem. If you want to use it on your computer, you need to install their StreamConverter which converts the libssp protocol to either NDI or Virtual Cam. That way you could use it with obs. Problematic on "lower" spec hardware is the immense overhead due to decoding the libssp and encoding again to NDI or Virtual Cam.
They are very developer friendly and providing complete API on Github.

I think this cam and the 799$ Version E2C will become very popular in Livestreaming.
As i'm not able to program a plugin for obs myself, i would like to ask, if someone would be willing to take care of this so OBS will be popular for usage with that camera (vMix was announced to probably integrate it)
Best regards,
Simon
