When using a Canon camera a video source it offers a range of controls appropriate for the camera. The Windows desktop itself all or partial screen.It allows you to select video sources from amongst the following I tried it with a Google Hangout for VUC #457 and it worked nicely. For example, it presents to the OS a virtual webcam much like Wirecast. It delivers a substantial suite of capabilities for modest price. So much so that I made the $30 investment to purchase a license. This past week I stumbled into SparkoCam, a new Windows program from SparkoSoft, shows more promise than anything I have tried in the past. So many of these programs deliver a diversity cutesy features but lack the ability to deliver video at decent frame rates & sizes. One was Man圜am, which simply didn’t do what I required at the time…or hid the capability beyond my view. In the past I’ve tried a couple of programs that attempt to leverage this feature to mimic a webcam. It works especially well on the Nexus 7 tablet, turning the tablet into a real-time remote viewfinder. I’ve occasionally used an Android app ( DSLR Controller) to remote control the camera via USB. It happens that many Canon cameras, including the XSi, have a feature called “ Live View” that’s intended to stream the image to the LCD viewfinder or even across a USB connection. Our Rebel XSi’s don’t shoot video, but they do make nice 12 mega-pixel pictures. We also have a small selection of lenses.Īs DSLRs have come to shoot video it would make some sense that they could also be used the more sedate role of webcam. Released in Q1-2009 these are not the latest and greatest by any stretch, but they’re nice cameras. Our first DSLR was an Olympus E-10, but these days we have a couple of Canon Rebel XSi’s. When using live view normally (just on the camera), the camera turn live view off after a short time (maybe 1 minute).When is a webcam not a webcam? When it’s actually a DSLR!Īround here we are strong believers in DSLRs. The 50D has 4.69 micron pixel size, this is also the pixel pitch (at full resolution), but what is the pixel pitch when in live view and 5x live view? (I am tiring to figure out acrsec per pixel for each of my telescopes) What about when doing a 5x live view capture? I have a few questions when capturing the 50D live view, the resolution is 1024圆80 (from a sensor that is 4752x3168). I have an update now that I am more familiar with the excellent software.
