Did you find a VISCA command that would start/stop recording to the Tail Air’s onboard SD?
@davidjoshuaford3 күн бұрын
It's a good question - I didn't look for it as I use these cameras for streaming rather than ISO recording but I can imagine that would be useful to people. It's not on their VISCA spreadsheet (www.obsbot.com/explore/obsbot-tail-air/visca-over-ip) but you could email their tech support and request it to be added. You could however use OSC commands direct to the camera or via the Center App as that is supported: www.obsbot.com/explore/obsbot-center/osc

Hi David, I'm sure I'll be buying your config package for N700 cams at some point for a couple clients. Until then, I'm trying to play with the available controls thru the native companion app. If you can help me out, I'm curious how to set up buttons to choose which camera I can control. I can only seem to add another instance of Canon and have a totally seperate page with similar buttons for each camera, not 'now i'm controlling camera 1, now 2' buttons. Any tips you can share? Thank you!! Good stuff sir.
@davidjoshuaford17 күн бұрын
You'll need one module per camera so that you can connect with separate IP addresses, and then once you've built your first page you can mostly copy it to the new modules.
@MichaelJones2417 күн бұрын
@@davidjoshuaford So you basically need a different page for each camera, buttons for up/down/left/right/etc can't be shared among multiple cams by selecting a camera button... gotcha. Thank you!!

I watched the video well. I hope Canon N500/300/ZOOM in/out will be faster. I have a question. A question about the audio player If you only use the Streamdeck program without using Companion, Streamdeck's soundboard is the best for audio playback. Companion is a bit complicated to use. So, other than the VLC player used in Companion, Is there no simpler player? VLC has the disadvantage of only playing one MP3. (Yes, it is impossible to add applause and depth while using BGM) Qlab is the Mac version, Thank you.

Fade in USK, or alternative: use Flying Key. Set A with a macro in atem software control - position X, Y and Size as desired. Run USK to infinity. Action Run to A in Companion will bring USK on screen with an animation (could be from large to small for example)

Hello I am using CANON CR-N300 / CR-N500 as a Companion. I recently upgraded the firmware and the speed control for ZOOM In / ZOOM OUT in Companion is not working. It zooms in/out very slowly. I would appreciate it if you could improve it. For reference, when I asked CANON, they said that the CR-N300 & N500 firmware cannot be updated to the previous version. I tried to update the firmware to the previous version, but it didn't work. ㅠㅠ Latest version V150 / Previous version V140 For reference, the latest version only has the basic function of autotracking, which is inconvenient. ㅎㅎ (Full version is $1,200) Presets and other functions work normally. Thank you. Companion 3.3.1 /canon v1.5.0 /CR-N300/ CR-N500

What kind of procedures and documentation do you use for OS and Software updates? Are certain software dependencies like Elgato Stream Deck and Bit Focus Companion upgrade procedures different than mere updates? Any Back up procedures? Or can you point me to somebody who does this?
@davidjoshuaford2 ай бұрын
For the Stream Deck hardware, I just update via Elgato's native software. Then for Companion, export a back up of your configuration, then just boot up the new version. There's not usually a stream deck hardware update that makes it incompatible with Companion, but if there is then it's usually updated by the Companion team within two weeks.

Have you looked at Canon XF605? It's basically the CR-N700 in a camcorder body so it has lots of function buttons/switches when you operate manually and network control when you operate remotely. Bonus is that it also works with the Canon Multi Camera iPhone app, which does not support Canon's PTZs. The c400's visuals will blow the XF605 out of the water, but I personally think the XF605 is better for live b/c it's a lot more flexible. Cheaper, too--I've seen them used for less than $4000 on B&H. I love mine.

I had a Sony TRV900 back in 02, and used a Z1 in 08 on some productions, but I've always been in the "detachable-lens" realm for production work since the 5DmkII days... These days it's a mix of C300's/C200s for live. You're right that camcorders are certainly a lot cheaper/ more for your money for live production, particularly given the inbuilt zoom range. But I've just personally invested a lot more in cinema cameras/lenses for production work that I carry over into live settings, and the PTZs are an incredible return on investment with reduced labor/crew. If I get the c400 I'll probably need to add a 24-105 2.8 for live/event work... (or 17-120 😅) and even then it won't have the full zoom range of a camcorder.

Good question - they've changed it now to "internal: Custom Variable: set with expression". Choose the variable you want to change, and then if you want to modify that same variable, add that same variable back into the "Expression" field and then modify it.. i.e. "$(internal:custom_value) + 1" would add 1 to the a variable called "value"

The ATEM Mini can't send its Mulitview out via USB-C, so the best way would be to connect the HDMI Out to a UVC converter (HDMI-in, USBC out), and then the Multiview will show up as a video source in your computer apps. A common device is the CamLink4K, but there are cheaper ones out there on Amazon as well.
