#CAMTWIST PLUGINS ANDROID#

There was a brief bold attempt with the Samsung Galaxy Camera to mate a decent camera with the Android OS & bring the well-known development environment, but it didn't take off. What's most amazing to me is how ineffective camera company's have been at getting a healthy ecosystem of tools/softwares growing. > It's fascinating to watch the camera companies slowly catch up to where Elgato was years ago It's not as good as a built in GPS, but it's better than recording a track log and syncing later. The a7iii _finally_ supports some level of geotagging by using the GPS in your phone, and using a BLE connection to get location. You can get a battery eliminator for the older a7 models - while it does require additional hardware and hassle, they do work, and can run off of USB.

I've run the RX100M3/M5 and a7iii off of USB power forever (a full day's worth of being a webcam via HDMI capture). You can either pick the photos to transfer on the camera or on the phone, and it works pretty well for posting to social media, or instantly sharing. I'd like to see some of the other features in your list added, but Sony's past slowness to add features doesn't inspire much hope that they will be added any time soon.Īll of the recent (4+ years) cameras have a 'share to mobile' feature, where the camera acts as an AP, and your phone connects to pull photos from it. This is slowly changing, at least with some of the high-end consumer/prosumer Sony cameras. Dumb TV, high quality panel, that starts up fast, has a lot of ports, no internet connection, with a remote designed by someone who thought for 5min about what buttons are required this century.Ī dumb TV with a high quality camera mic setup might be interesting - plug in a mac mini and be good to go. High quality camera/mic that can be attached to a TV. High quality camera for videochat that can be connected to a computer.

I'd love to see better products in this space: You'd think there would be a high-end market targeting streamers with computer cameras focused just on that in-between the mirrorless/DSLRs for photography. The Facebook Portal is a magnitude better and 10% of the price, but it's FB - they do support zoom now though so that's a decent option.Ĭomputer webcams top out at not very good logitech USB devices. LG camera setups target businesses and are generally overpriced crap (I have one - the LG meetup) with proprietary connections and mediocre cameras, and crappy mics/software.

I've dug around and the only real option is an HDMI capture card paired with a decent camera (I read this Sony software option is lower quality, but at least it's progress).

It's kind of wild to me how there's such a product vacuum for this stuff.

#CAMTWIST PLUGINS HOW TO#

Those of you who know how to spoof USB manufacturer and device IDs may want to try spoofing any random off-the-shelf USB PTP webcam with one of these and see if you can use this library to speak to it.Ġx0CCC, 0x0C43, 0x0D2B, 0x0D18, 0x0D1C, 0xD9F, 0x0DA3 I get the distinct impression that this is a list of USB device IDs. That plugin contains `LjAdapter`, the same name used on both Mac and Win, and specifically `Lja_PTP_USB.dylib/dll` - hinting that they've written a convertor that takes in USB Picture-to-Picture protocol and writes out USB Web Camera protocol. Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/uginĬould someone with a Sony camera please verify on macOS 10.15 (with ASR enabled) whether this webcam support is usable from within Apple's desktop FaceTime app? What protocol version and speed of USB does it negotiate with the computer, assuming you're using a modern USB cable and not the one it shipped with? Mac support is implemented using a CoreMediaIO plugin, hinting that they are not updating the camera firmware to speak USB webcam, which prevents driverless use of the device:
