Streaming video? Is there a way to get a live video output from this camera?

Only way I could see to accomplish this would be to plug it into hdmi out into a capture card on a PC, and stream from that. But, I'm not sure if that mode can be used for live video or just playback.

The camera has a RCA plug for video which is fairly standard. But watch out for proprietary connectors on a different maker's camera.

Use a FireWire cable. Plug it into your computer and use a program like iMovie to capture the footage.

Blackmagicdesign offers higher-end models for broadcasting. The Cinema cameras (Pocket, Cinema, 4K), while you could possibly use it for streaming in Video Mode instead of Film Mode, these cameras are really geared towards a different workflow where you'll benefit more from manipulating the image in post-production. So I'd get something else that's easier to shoot with and can better accommodate the needs specific to online streaming. I'm not sure of the output size from the micro HDMI port, I only know that others have had issues with it not working on some monitors. here's an article providing more info: http://provideocoalition.com/atepper/story/which-blackmagic-camera-models-output-live-native-progressive-and-when

I used my video recording app. It's not an app specific device so anything that takes video will work with it.

Hi Rubens, the camcorder does not have the capability to stream videos online while you are recording. You can only download the recorded files after importing them to a computer. Thanks_Mitch

The video stream is actually established between the WiFi module (in the camera housing) and your router. You can then tap into that video stream with a computer on your network for recording. Recording is done through Internet Explorer or a third party recording application. You can also push this feed to the Internet for live viewing remotely, such as with a mobile phone or tablet. Thus, it doesn't really connect directly to your computer. You will need to be on the computer for initial configuration. We have live tech support that can do all that for you via Remote Desktop.

You need to capture video from the camera to computer. There is a lot of devices to do that, for example USB CAPTURE VIDEO.

Thank you for your time. In regards to your inquiry, the camera in question does offer the "live view" option.

I have not attempted it. The provided software does not. But it streams the video feed to other applications. There most like are some that can receive and record a live video stream

The camera in and of itself does not send video over the internet. I assume that's your question. To do that you'll need a camera such as this one but you'll also need something with "smarts" inside that can talk to the Internet. Usually that's done with a DVR or NVR. I do have one of these connected to a small box that can output a signal that a tv can use. It displays on my desk in the house locally. NOT over the Internet. Also if you're wishing to view what this camera sees over the Internet you need to know that you will not be sending the 700 lines of information. While the camera may be capable of 700 lines, when you're viewing remotely you'll get many less lines than the 700. The camera in and of itself does not send video over the internet.

While I am not 100% sure on this, as I am not interested in this functionality, I do not believe there is a live feed option. There are a couple of ports and this may be something it can do, one port is for continuous power feed, the other may allow for USB download, but I am not clear on whether this is just for download of the video, or live monitoring.

Hi, I purchased used one but returned as it was in the conditions as mentioned. So I don't know it stream video or not. Chandra

You would need some video capture software. This is NOT a USB or IP camera.

You could potentially use it via a USB connection with a converter, but it's really designed for direct connection to a live streaming provider.

I just tried it with my Nikon. I don't know how to make my DSLR output a video stream. But if your DSLR is sending video over HDMI (test it by attaching to a TV), then the Ultrastudio should be able to capture it. But if you have trouble, make sure that the resolution and framerate settings all match between the camera, Blackmagic, and software; if there is any mismatch you will probably get nothing but black.Also, be sure that your video chat software is compatible with this device. If you tell me your platform and software, I may be able to tell you.

The camera I received has yet to produce even one second of video. In other words, it's a lemon. Also found out that the camera is incompatible with Windows 8.1. New drivers are reportedly available, yet on Sony's support site the problem was not addressed.
