How to Use 1 Camera on 2 PCs

[@olivedrab]

Great solution. Was looking for this and thought I’d need a KVM switch but this is much simpler. Thanks man!

[@5wappy]

Glad it helped!

[@macrophobe]

[@5wappy]

Glad it helped!

[@obietek]

Yea this is an awesome solution so simple not sure why I didn't think of it. thanks for the video man!

[@jackvieiraoficial]

[@5wappy]

Glad the video helped

It can stream both machines simultaneously at the same time, right?

[@5wappy]

Yes it can!

[@Fega]

Hey man, thanks for the video. can you make both camera displays work simultaneously?

[@5wappy]

Yes you can, the two pcs don’t know about each other and agree just getting a constant hdmi feed.

[@Fega]

@@5wappy Thanks for your reply! I was able to get them working. It's an amazing hack. Thanks a lot!

[@LeonardoPirro]

I just got confused. So you only need one HDMI Splitter (4k) and two Camlink 4K or just one?

[@5wappy]

One splitter, going into two camlinks.

Very nice video

[@5wappy]

Thanks

[@ParanoidMuse]

NDI might be a cheaper solution here as long as both of the computers are on the same network.

[@5wappy]

Maybe, but this works without issue.

[@mattcrain8048]

Would this work with a USB-A based camera? Swap the HDMI Splitter with a USB splitter?

[@5wappy]

I don’t think it will work since usb typically can’t be split and only be switched. But every time you switch the pc will re-add the camera which could cause issues. Plus the cam link only supports hdmi input.

[@newthee]

I need 3 Pc. How to do it?

[@5wappy]

Maybe find a three way splitter or split twice so you get the number of feeds you need. Haven’t tried it but it may work.

[@newthee]

@@5wappyand in your video , It can stream both machines simultaneously at the same time, right?

[@5wappy]

​@@newthee Yes, I can stream/record video on both PCs at the same time.

Nice

[@5wappy]

Thanks

This eats 2 hdmi slots. Does anyone know of a camera that connects to 2 PC's via bluetooth?

[@5wappy]

This solution requires only 1 HDMI slot, which comes from the camera. Going into the PC it takes 1 USB A (3.0) each. Bluetooth does not has enough bandwidth to support video and can only be connected to one device at a time.
